| On the right, myself and my friends Adrian and Neil are with one of our lecturers (Kazem) after our Graduation (I'm on the right). At Nene, I was the Info. Sys. Student Representative for all 3 years of my course which involved attending meetings at many levels and being the interface between my fellow students and the academic staff. | ||
On the right you can see a picture of me with Neil, Adrian and Wai. This was taken just
after a presentation to our sponsors for our final year project in Information Systems. We
undertook a Systems Analysis & Design project for East Midlands Electricity in Duston,
Northampton, looking at their Project Time Recording System using SSADM and prototyping in
Oracle with SQL*Forms 4.5 (Developer 2000). They were so impressed with our findings that
they commissioned the College to implement our design! The project was the equivalent to a
dissertation for each of us working as a team. The documentation filled an A4 lever-arch
file to bursting point...
On the right you can see a picture of myself and my friend Ian at a College Ball in our
final year (I'm on the left), at which we were treated to a gig from EMF (remember their
hit - "You're Unbelievable"?) which was actually pretty good. At previous balls, we have
had The Pasedenas performing live, The Regurgitator (who swallows things such as goldfish,
money etc. before regurgitating them again in a chosen order) and Mr. Methane (who can
fart at will).
As a fresher I joined the Nene College Karate Club and became the treasurer for
the last 2 years of my studies. The club follows the Wado-Ryu style and is lucky to have
Pete Kennedy, who is a 5th Dan, as its instructor. I had already spent 5 years training in
the Shotokan style and reached purple belt. Under Pete's instruction I progressed and took
my 1st Dan (black belt) grading in June '96. During my final year I organised a trip to
Holland to participate in the International Student Karate Championships in Eindhoven. On
the left is a picture of me in action during a fight, which I went on to win, although
both our teams were knocked out in the first round.
