So yesterday was the due date for my final year project (the BlueJ Java IDE GUI Builder extension). It was a stressful day to say the least with us handing it in right as the office was closing. I wasn’t particularly happy with that, as I was hoping to get it in a few hours before. But oh well, it’s in and now I just have to write an Individual Report and have an interview with some examiners regarding it.
On another note, I just want to point out how incredibly annoying it is that Grand Theft Auto IV comes out on April 29th, just a few days before my final exams start!
I guess I’ll have have to wait until May 23rd to buy it (that is the day after my last exam). Very annoying.

Things have been really hectic recently and it’s all come out of nowhere - honest! Well, that’s not strictly true, but I will elaborate:
In just over two weeks time I have to hand in my final year project. This includes the finished program, documentation, technical report and then 4 days later an individual report too (it is a group project). The project that I have been working on this year with three other guys is a Graphical User Interface Builder extension for the BlueJ Java IDE. Essentially, people new to Java that are learning using the BlueJ IDE might want to build a GUI for their projects and so we have been developing an extension that allows users to create simple GUIs for their projects.
