Reflections through Cyberspace

A couple of hours ago I posted about the results, and how I was impatiently waiting for them to be published. Well..guess what? They are going to be published online soon ’cause I just checked (for the hundred’ time today) and the subjects are being shown without the grades, which means that they are inputting [...]

It’s been nearly a month now since we finished exams, but no results are out as yet! This is the thing which annoys me most…waiting for the results! What annoys me more is the fact that I know that lecturers have submitted the results a long time ago because they told us so, but we [...]

Have you planned any holidays yet for the near future? I haven’t got anything planned up to now. The problem is that at the moment I am really busy with the dissertation, which I have to submit in April, so probably I won’t have time to go abroad before Summer. However I will try to [...]

As part of the research I am doing at the moment, which is partly concerned with security issues with regards to surveillance technologies, I am also coming across a lot of material related to security on the internet, especially when it comes to file transfer.
This morning I came across the term SCP, which after researching [...]

It’s so strange to go back to uni after a long weekend! This semester I am lucky to have a very long weekend every week until May, since we don’t have any lectures on Mondays and Fridays. But then after such a long weekend, it tends to be more difficult to get in the right [...]

Last Friday I spent the day working on reviewing the thesis introduction, which I had written earlier last month. After 5 hours (!) I managed to go through the comments which my tutor had suggested and added further points.
This week I am working on the next chapter, which is about human rights in the digital [...]

Today I came across a website with plenty of information on UK Mortgages. The interesting aspect of this website is that it has a news section, whereby news items related to mortgages and lending as well as other financial news are listed in this section.
An interesting news article which I read in this section is [...]

Whilst reading the news this morning, I came across an article portraying some do’s and don’ts whilst on holiday. For instance one tip about Venezuela - If someone tells you they like your shirt in Venezuela, it’s customary to give it to them!! Imagine ending without a shirt, just because someone liked it!! And chewing [...]

At home we don’t have fitted carpets, but we have large carpets which we put out during winter. At the moment, we are putting away the carpets we had in some rooms, in preparation for our move to the new home. Before putting them away, we made sure that they are cleaned so that we [...]
