Marking

Oh geez I hate marking. I suppose it's a very easy way of earning money... at the cost of sanity. Still, I am amused by the number of really dumb students who just don't follow instructions, or they some how manage to be so smart that their assignment blows up in their face.

For example, this dude has managed to implement a text area and a scrollbar. Very good. Glad you got that far. However, he's managed to uncouple the scrollbar and the textarea, so that the textarea doesn't scroll. Fantastic. 0. Fail.

Oh yeah, I thought my marking was due in 4 days ago, but it's really due in tomorrow. I mentioned this to my mates at the CSC dinner and they were all like "so people like YOU are the reason our marks are so late!". Well nyeh to you :(

Debs flew back to Singapore today. I'm sure she'll be reading this sometime soon. Poor girl, she keeps complaining about how she'll have nothing to do. Except play DotA. pdoth

Mindlessly following successive links on the INTARNATS has lead me to your blog! Wows! What a find! I'm glad you met your marking deadline :) If you think marking CS assignments is crappy, try exams. Or anything written for that matter. It'll make the staunchest nerd cry.

Wow Ron, such a stalker! I'm impressed. Not a lot of people have actually linked me O_o Although I'm interested to find out the chain of links you went through to get here.
