I just notice that my uni computers warn you if you have a USB pen still plugged in
Little thing but it just saved me forgetting the pen
Funny how sometimes the little things In programming can give you the best result

a little something to get started with
just a little post to give my blog some body, before i start blogging in it for real.
at the moment things on my mind are:
the timetabling software project i got to do for uni, i am thinking a lot about the limitations i am going to meet trying to make a timetabling system, i really think i can make something workable on a small scale but i keep thinking about the computing power such a basic system would need to process timetables for much larger organizations. solutions keep coming to me, but most of them wont work... but might help a little... some examples:
my PC keeps freezing while i do anything that requires video processing (3D and streaming) i am not sure as to was the problem is (might be rouge program doing something stupid or hardware fault) iv already tried resettling all my hardware in to the motherboard (meaning i took all the parts out and put them back in again) and uninstalling and reinstalling video drivers (so i got a clean install). it seemed to work at 1st but then i had the dreaded freeze come up (its quite random which is annoying and not critical so the computer has no restart). i might try formatting my drive (its been a while its about time anyway) see if that makes a difference if not only thing i can think of is the video card is got a fault then a long RMA process ahead (as its almost brand new)
such is life
hard to play computer games when you freeze for 5 mins or so (tend to die a lot in the process especially online)
i think that me filled up my 1st post

- lots of randomization in the system (bad idea will just lead to messy timetables)
- groups objects (such as a classroom) in to other objects (such as a building) and only processes information related to such items when needed (helps with workload just hard to implement and has limitations and we will still be talking about a lot of processing power to even work that out)
- move of the above (using subject areas for example)
- have more user input? (whats the point in automatic systems then but their may be ways of having more user input that helps)
- combining all of the above (which i think i am going to have to do anyway)
