Aims & Objectives
Work on the assignment for Unit 02 A1T1.
Deadline for this work is midnight.
Number systems Binary, Denary, Hexadecimal.

My blog
Today I learned about the principles of some Maths which is relevant to computer science, and I tried my best at this. Whilst it did take me some time to figure it out, I eventually did manage to suss it out which was good. However I did get a bit carried away with my personal opinion of Microsoft (which isn't positive!) when writing part of my Unit 02 assignment. I will try and avoid making that mistake, and try and tone it down a bit in the future. Overall I did pretty well, and discovered how epic, and cool Maths can be.

My blog
Today I learned more about computer hardware and the fundamentals of computer systems. I tried my best, and did quite well. However I did make some inappropriate comments, which I will not be repeating here in the chat box. I will try and avoid doing that in the future, and I accept that I have no excuse. Nevertheless I will keep up the good work. I am doing Unit 08 this afternoon, and will get my deadline for my Unit 08 assignment then.
