Review

Well this weekend I went to see the imaginarium of dr parnassus.
I was extremely excited to see this movie and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment!
The trailer advertised the film as something much more then it actually was
The movie itself was directed by Terry Gilliam, and so it was graphically brilliant.
Although i thought the story of the movie was well written, i think the way it was put together on film was a bit messy, and the ending of the movie is very confusing and unclear.

Jokes

Well i'm not exactly sure what i'm supposed to be saying on this thing so i'm just gonna ramble on about everything, well so far over the last week we've just been filled in on all the tests we're gonna be getting over the next 2 weeks!
Most of them should be fine but there's one or two i'll get worried about.
I've also decided that programming is probably my favourite class in this course so far. I think is pretty interesting and the teacher's extremely nice.
Oh and i Got bored the other day and started looking up a load of bad jokes on the internet,
Thought I might as well paste them in and post them up on this! .

Job NO.28


Most Sutiable Course: Electronic Engineering CR061

Skills Needed :
2 Years experience in of developing C code, using real time operating systems like Vxworks and QNX.
Networking protocols and RFCs - TCP/IP, SNMP, MIB, RMON.
Multiprocessor system design experience using FPGAs


VxWorks is designed for use in embedded systems. Unlike "self-hosting" systems such as Unix, VxWorks development is done on a "host" machine running Linux, Unix or Windows, cross-compiling target software to run on various "target" CPU architectures.

QNX is based on the idea of running most of the OS in the form of a number of small tasks, known as servers. This differs from the more traditional monolithic kernel, in which the operating system is a single very large program composed of a huge number of "parts" with special abilities.

The Internet Protocol Suite (commonly known as TCP/IP) is the set of communicationd protocols used for the internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the internet protocol (IP), which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard


Module needed: Networking Fundamentals COMP6009


Scrum was intended for management of software development projects, it can be used to run software maintenance teams, or as a general project/program management approach.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to specify, visualize, modify, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software intensive system under development.

C code is one of the most popular programming languages it is also widely used for developing portable application software.

Module: Programming Fundamentals


Multiprocessing is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) within a single computer system. The term also refers to the ability of a system to support more than one processor and/or the ability to allocate tasks between them. There are many variations on this basic theme, and the definition of multiprocessing can vary with context, mostly as a function of how CPUs are defined (multiple cores on one die, multiple chips in one package, multiple packages in one system unit, etc.).
