Relief

Finally, this evening I finished off a final draft of my dissertation ? all 88 pages and 21,000 words of it. All that remains now is to get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow morning and hand it to my tutor for a final check over before hand in (a week on Monday), and I?m already feeling very relieved it?s out of the way, and really I want to go out and get horrifically drunk in celebration.

Unfortunately, the software project we have to do (implement an online bank) in the next two weeks and those ?life tasks? such as buying food and having to clean my room (it?s getting in a bit of a state after two weeks of essentially being locked in here) has go in the way that idea.

In geek news, I was having problems using the version of ghostscript I have on my server to convert my dissertation to PDF, either there was some sort of fault, or it just refused to process a postscript file bigger than the system?s memory? Also the computer systems installations all didn?t seem to like my nice Microsoft word font embedding. Tried out the GhostScript for windows package, and it works surprisingly nicely.

Suddenly realised it?s 0400, must be bedtime :o)
