Ahhh, those were the days...

This week its time to get nostalgic. I look back at my past two years and decide what is my most memorable memory. What I have decided to do, is look back only on the past year and choose from there. The past year for me has seen quite a change, both inside and outside of university life.

So during this year, I have been a PAL leader, a course representative as well as the group project leader in all my projects. All of these were personal achievements for which I am very proud. Outside of University I have become a Pilot Officer RAF VR(T) (Volunteer Reserve Training) within the Air cadet Organisation, and recently taken command of my cadet Squadron. Also, I have discovered that I'm not as bad as I used to be at gaming, though still pretty rubbish in the grand scheme of things. All in all, these things have made it a good year.

However, my number one experience of the year, has to be the opportunity to work with Bedfordshire Police on a "real" case. It was real in a sense that the malicious attack had happened to a real world company, using real world software. Myself, along with four of my friends went to the company and assisted in the removal of the malware, as well as securing it against further attack of this nature. Whilst I cant go into great detail, I can say that it was a very enjoyable and enlightening experience to have an opportunity to work with Bedfordshire Police. The University have a full media article here if you are interested in some more information on this.

This weeks blog is shorter than usual, however next week I'll be talking about how my course is taught, so that will definitely take some more reading.
