My University Projects

I realized recently that one of my old homepages is still around on the internet. This was my second attempt to create a homepage for myself and this was done back in 2004 when I was trying to learn DreamWeaver. I think I still updated a few pages till around 2006 or so, but most of it is nicely ‘preserved’ as it was back when I created it. Anyway, one of the pages there was a collection of my University projects during undergrad. Not sure how long GeoCities will be around for, so thought I’ll migrate that page over to here with it’s original content.

I’m sure most of you (especially my uni friends) are going to be quite surprised..but I did manage to find some soft copies of some of the uni projects we’ve had, including a few from 1st and 2nd year!! I find reading some of the old reports kind of funny now mainly ‘cos of the weird formatting I’ve got. Think the 3rd and 4th year ones look a lot better.

I’m just putting the final reports up since they pretty much explain everything about the assignment or the project. I’ve got the source code too for most of them, so just mail me or something if you need any of it.
