Daily Post - Saturday

Today I have been mostly doing my OU work.

I finished Block 1 Part 2 of T175 as well as the associated TMA question and then finished most of M150 Unit 2 with just some of the activities off of the CD-ROM to finish tomorrow. The M150 work involves talking to other people in the tutor group about aspects of netiquette but only me and somebody else seem to have posted anything so far. Hopefully other people will post during the week before the tutorial session.

I did have one or two breaks to play the odd game of geodefense swarm in my coffee breaks. I've cleared three of the hard levels now after being stuck on the first one for ages. It really is a superbly balanced little game, and actually closer to a puzzle game than a straight forward tower defense. Each level requires a different strategy with towers costing different amounts and restrictions on availability each time. It is advisable to read the end of level messages though - I only realised that lasers were actually healing a new type of creep after I had failed a level three times and then spotted the bit of text that came up if I waited before hitting restart.

I also managed a nice walk in the woods, although it was a bit gloomy. The light box came in very useful today, as well as a daylight spectrum bulb for the study.
