    I'll probably be easily noticed as I'll more than likely be the person Coughing and Sneezing the whole way through the lectures.. Great time to be coming down with a cold / flu. :-(

    I might be the oldest, non-Irish, dark hair, beard (which might change until tomorrow) and I will probably not talk much. Good luck finding me.

    Finding Kieran180782 is probably very easy! ;)

    Are any of you coming from a Technology background or something completely different? I'm working in Citi, as a Support helpdesk. Basically providing support and admin of the core accounting and custody platforms within the business.

    Web design/web development is my background. I guess that's a technology background. At least I have to deal with some code on a daily basis.

    Cool.. id say you will find some of this course fairly ok with you.
    As soon as I arrive in it will be... "what, you can do that by doing this...Wow!!" I'm more of a virgin to all this programming etc..
    Find it fascinating though.. need a change of scenery to what I've been doing for nearly 10 yrs (celebrating the 10 in Oct)

    My idea of this whole studies is to learn more of the backend stuff. I want to get an understanding of how all these bits and bytes really work. Basically I want to be able to reinvent Pac-Man in the end.

    :pac:····•·····

    Good stuff. Should be very interesting course. My bro did computer science in trinity a few years back and said it was a very well layed out and tough course. I used to hate skool and college.. when you grow up you tend to appreciate education more.

    I'll be there this evening. Thought tonight was an actual lecture, glad I apparently haven't missed induction, so.
    No proper info/tech background here, I'm afraid.

    I strolled in late.. Was waiting up in Room K308 for 20 minutes. Wasn't in work on Monday or Tuesday so I didnt receive the email to say it was KE4-008. Nothing as bad as walking into a lecture 20 mins late.. lol!

    Is it the same room we are in today or is it KE1-008?

    I was watching you. You have put half a plate into your bag. I also didn't like your attitude against foreigners and the binge drinking after the course... ;)

    I know the sausage grease went all over my bag and I woke up covered in bruises the next day :D. How could you let that happen to me??

    Aha! I've nearly sussed out all the boards heads on the course. I'm one of the cool smokers clique.

    Nope, and I probably won't...

    There are so many free tutorials and stuff to read on the net , so no point spending money on books

    EDIT: I found this site searching boards http://www2.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/

    It's really good I think

    You guys think tomorrow could be easily skipped?

    I wonder if they want to show us how to install and use a compiler? :p
    Or how to unzip files(!)? :rolleyes:
    Or which program to download to unzip files(!!!)? :eek:

    With all respect to everyone who doesn't know about this - I don't see any use in going there tomorrow. Or did I miss something else with any learning profit for us? :confused:
