Breakfast of Champions
Well it looks like I've got me a 1st class honours degree. I extend a hearty thankyou to all the Processing folks (seeing as I started getting 1sts on projects just after I started using Processing). I also extend a hearty thanks to my parents for supporting me throughout the past three years.
Creating a package as opposed to a standalone sketch takes some serious thought on my part. I hope to get an outline of the A* part of my A.I. library done soon, but this is all new territory for me.
A friend alerted me to Fluxus a scheme based graphics programming environment. It boasts the advantage of letting you drop code in whilst it's running. I've wanted to learn a Lisp style language for some time, it's just a pity there isn't a Windows release.
The tragic condition of Patrick O'Brien prompts me to link one of his favourites of mine. The Man With the Smallest Penis in Existence and the Electron Microscope Technician who Loved Him.
And there's the Art of Science Competition results.

Congratulations!
Fluxus is great... Dave comes to dorkbotlondon quite a bit so you should come along and talk to him there.
Sounds like a good opportunity to learn linux *and* lisp, ha!
Great news! Umm, but where did you get your degree from? I wish our most brilliant Processing programmers could get honors for work like yours. Most of the judges just sort of scratch their heads: what's this? Hence the question: hmm, what degree were you working towards?
"I wish our most brilliant Processing programmers could get honors for work like yours."
Heh, heh. Well they wouldn't be brilliant programmers then would they? Coding wasn't a part of my course. It was because I have a master plan of making a robot artist that I've learnt all this computer voodoo. I studied Graphic Fine Art at University of East London. The honours was a default of the study program I think, it just says (hons) next to my course title - not sure what to make of that, perhaps I've got it wrong (I am a bear of little brain after all).
I'll try to make it to Dorkbot again. I'm a teeny bit wounded that my offer to present something was ignored though, hence my absence.
Hey, congratulations! Excellent news. :)
Incidentally, my impression is that UK undergrad degrees generally have (hons) by default, but I know one or two people who graduated without by messing up some part of their course or other. I wonder if that's the same everywhere?
congrats mr steed!!
