Creative Writing: Hints There are two approaches to Creative Writing: quiet confidence or utter terror. If you fall in the latter category, never fear: here's a collection of hints gathered from the forums and personal experience; hopefully it will help you in what can be the most painful part...

I can't believe none of you mentioned Skype (http://www.skype.com/), which is essentially a VoIP phone with many of the features of a landline connection (as opposed to MSN, which is a chat based medium). In other news, Microsoft has ventured into corporate VoIP...

$1 is a lot in broke uni student terms. :\ and yeah, I'm currently working full time and at uni two days of the week (if that) and WoW-ing.. gives me little time to do anything constructive :\

Think about it the other way - you have to hit 'i' before you type, which is only a key away from the home row ;) hitting esc is natural for me as a gamer since most menus/chat windows require hitting esc before you can do anything else haha. it breaks my MSN though :( I found emacs...

Would you be interested in further competitions of the like? ;) They all got nifty dog tags for winning by the way! (I want one)

You can see the list of current sponsors on the Co-op website: http://www.co-op.unsw.edu.au/ . The number of positions fluctuates depending on how many sponsors apply / are asked that year. Co-op students do exactly the same subjects as non co-op scholars, but may have a slightly more...

A third vote for ConTEXT here - make sure you download the highlight files for C syntax :) I use gVim personally (http://www.vim.org/ I think) - it's a bit hardcore and elitist but it has gorgeous colour schemes ;)

The computing subjects in first year (you'll probably only do Comp 1A/1B) will assume nothing about your ability to program. It's because it's hard to generalise the abilities of a hundred-odd students: obviously some people will be more advanced than others, some will know languages that...

Woot.. mclake I'm gonna come visit you in your tute and SCARE YOU (please don't kick me out) :D

I use it for UniWide... at one point I had $50 credit or something o_O It gets deducted automatically as long as you have a uniwide account ... but I suggest you talk to the nice folks up at Disconnect

CompSoc has recently mirrored the version of q3 which was on Alex Penev's account (with his blessing of course :P); it was used for the recent q3 competition. (You all got pwned by tutors!). This version has the additional maps that Alex uploaded (eg. everybody's favourite japan map). I...

We like to think that the content here would be of use to any student in primary/high school (I suppose it's middle/high school in the US? No idea.) although the topics that are covered are NSW, Australia based. I like to think that most of the courses are geared to be broadly educational...

Well, the reason you pay a bit more for a Dell is not simply for end-user support.. You pay for a warranty on everything on the system, you pay for the entire system being built for you with customisability, and you pay for the knowledge that the parts you get will last at least as long as...

Textual form.. think about how Shakespeare writes. The language in which he writes is not itself a form (it's English) but how he constructs his plays are. Firstly, the play is a textual form. How are plays set out? Is there consistency in the way Shakespearean (or even Elizabethan) plays...
