Wow; that was one hell of a busy weekend. I attended the open day to the University of East Anglia (Norwich) on Friday, followed immediately by the Anglia Polytechnic University (Cambridge) open day on Saturday. I liked UEA better, although the Computer Science course at APU seemed more interesting to me. I'm more into the programming side of things: knowledge that has practical value in the real world. The CS course at UEA was more orientated towards research in nebulous, emerging fields. It still sounds fun, it's just that the course at APU may be more useful. But APU is located in a particularly crummy region of Cambridge--an area I know too well for comfort already.
I've also passed the 90,000 word mark on DITF (92,412 words, actually), which means that I'm only four days behind schedule. Things are looking up for the future. It's entirely possible that Revision 1 may be completed by the end of the month; after all, I've probably only got a couple of chapters to go. I'm still thinking about whether I want to add in the section in the 'altered' 20th Century. It may add a nice end shock, or it may not be necessary. I'll see when I get there.
