Well, I just turned in the last bit of work needed to complete my degree. I've officially earned my B.S. in Computer Science.

Suffice it to say I'll be taking at least a week off from working on Supremacy or anything else.

Congrats, got my hand in date for 31st May, oh how it looms..

Nice! It feels sooo good to be done .

Congratulations Commander - Do not get so drunk you wrap that beamer around a tree.

Congratulations Mike it must be big relief for you, now you are free man

So are you working for Micropros? Game development?

Thanks, guys . No, I'm not doing game development professionally. I'm sticking to business software for now, and doing game development as a hobby.

Congratulations!

congrats mike, well done mate

Wow bet it feels nice to finally put your feet up!

I've got another year to go on my course coz i'm doing a year's placement - my course is three years but the placement ads a year onto that. All my friends are graduating this year but i'll still be learning.

...So what work have you done on Supremacy in your new found free time?

Congrats mate.

Thanks guys, and yes, it does feel good to put my feet up.

@Matress: I'm not sure what "free time" you refer to--I start work full time on Monday, so if anything I'll have less time. But I might have some help. DCER, creator of the Ultimate Editor for BotF, has agreed to help with Supremacy. Zach's friend Kenjar has also expressed interest in helping with the 3D combat system.

I always manage to eventually get the info I want out of people!

That is also good news. With the rate of progress on 3D increased we need to encourage more of those that have build models to upload them to Share Point.

good for you Mike!

Congratulations

Congratulations Mike!

Sorry I didn't say it sooner but it looks like you started this thread right before I got back to the forums.

I assume the actual graduation ceremony has taken place by now or did you decide to go for the diploma in the mail route?

Thanks . Yes, the ceremony was back in May, though I said 'to hell with it', since they mail you your diploma regardless. I wasn't about to sit in a stadium for half the day just to hear my name called .

LOL, you should have, always a bit of fun

Had mine last week, not to mention MSc dress robes are far superior to normal undergraduate ones , need to look down and be snooty on those undergrads you know

Regards Wolfe

MSc?

It means "Master of Science", Fox. My own course - BSc (Hons) Environmental Health - means that when I get my degree i'll be a Bachelor of Science with Honours, and will be able to put BSc next to my name. I'm assuming you're not from the UK if you didn't know that?

Other examples include:

BA - Bachelor of the Arts
BEng - Bachelor of English
BE - Bachelor of Engineering
BDes - Bachelor of Design
BMus - Bachelor of Music
BMath - Bachelor of Mathematics

...and so on.

Master is the the next stage up from Bachelor, where you bascially get to swap the B for an M. Bachelors are more commonly known as Undergraduates, and Masters are more commonly known as Post-graduates.

No I'm not. I'm from the best country in the world...

Texas

and no, I do not own a horse.

I was unsure where you're from, but that statement just proved to me that you're not from the UK. Your knowledge of geography is obviously far superior.

Texas is pretty awesome.

You may not know it or not but Texas was a sovereign country before it joined the United States and after it kicked Mexico's but at the Battle of San Jacinto.

For shame.

I would have expected you of all people to know your world history better than that Matress

Thanks for that compliment there Nemitor but it helps to live in an awesome state. BTW, where are you from? It doesn't say in your profile?

Fox, two words: the present.

Before California was a state it was a dream.
Before it was a dream, it was a whisper.
Before it was California it was the world and home.
Compared to that, Texas is just flat.

(DON'T FEED THE TROLL!!)

Very late congratulations, to you, Mike!

We occupied Mexico City after we owned them in the war - I say we should have just annexed them.



Right now I'm in the Midwest, although I only moved here two years or so ago. Before that I was in Colorado. Who knows where I'll be next year, although I can pretty much guarantee it wont be here, or the east coast.

More central Texas is great. Of course it all depends on just what type of area you want to live in whether it be mountainous, swampy, tropical, dry, humid, flat plains, island, or surrounded by springfed rivers... Texas has it all, except for snow capped peaks of course but it used to when it was still the Republic of Texas.
