The final semmester of year 1

Sad face :( 

Who would have thought 21 weeks could go so fast.

Happy face :)

Despite our ever so slightly cramped time frame and manic rush to get a powerpoint together, it seems the group and myself did it. Our presentation had lots of useful goodies, such as hacking techniques, digital forensics and HMAC... no doubt some of this will appear on my blog a little later.

It's been a little cray cray, but I've learnt a lot. I ended going from somebody being scared of linux, to somebody who uses it as a daily driver. Sure, if you're stuck on combersome windows, it's a change but a well worth it one.

I've learnt not to push to the main thread of github repo without checking the code works first... oh and on that note, I also learnt the hard way writing notes helped. I got so into some code (without commenting) it was easier for me to rewrite the whole program that actually work out what the heck I'd written.

Backup. Backup and Backup. So when your BRAND NEW £1300 laptop HDD dies, your things are quickly accessible. FYI - think twice before getting an MSI laptop too.

Never rely on a Mac in an important presentation, it probably won't work. Just... don't rely on a mac (if it works, it probably is only useful for drawing pretty pictures)

Question your lecturers. Unless they give you nasty looks.

Oh. And have fun in the first year.
