# It was only a Physics dissertation, 6000 words.
Managed to rewrite it in time, but it was pretty upsetting.

Seeing as I was trying to get into Medical Physics afterwards, it seemed the best choice.

# well i'm not getting paid for owt i do on my pc
so i don't need to worry too much. and my next essay's only 3000 words

main thing with my Mus tech was that it was all sequencing, so if i fucked owt up it'd have been a bitch to go back and find out where

# another good trick is to set up an automated ftp task to your webserver
so that you can press a button and magically get an offsite backup every week

this is no good if you don't have any private directories on your webspace though

# ^this
although i'm told i managed to more or less delete word and all that went with it, and at the time i only had a floppy drive so saving stuff and getting stuff printed was a mare. if i wanted to write i'd have done english not an art degree.
