I hope everyone who is still doing their dissertation is backing it up!!

A good way is to email it to yourself and to friends now that you can send at least 10Mb file attachments in emails.

I've got my second year long essay due in wednesday (max 7000 words, expected 6000)..

I've written about 6500 words but now decided the structure is all wrong so I'm in the process of printing it off and cutting it up with scissors to put it in the right order.. then I shall cut and paste it back into a sensible shape.. hope I can do it today!

computing always has loads of words by the time you've added all the code.. it's silly. For A Level I wrote about 12000 words for my project + all the code.. dread to think what uni one would be like..
