I just had to make a new blog post on the success of my computer graphics assignment.
In this project, we have to create and render a scene using a program called POV-Ray for the given open-ended theme “My Toy Story”. We are required to design, model and beautify our own scene, which must consist of objects of different shapes, textures and surface finishes with simple animation. This assignment is worth 10% of the overall assessment for this unit.
We had to demonstrate the use of the required objects/components during the presentation, and being able to change the code to show that we know what we were doing. My tutor (Yasmin) said it was very well done and gave me full marks (according to the marking guide), and told me she would recommend to place it on the unit online gallery.
My Toy Story: Buzz Lightyear
Animation
Early stage of development - putting the "pieces" together. The black lines are placed to intersect at the origin to aid me in positioning.
Original model of Buzz that my image was modelled upon.
More information/source files are available on my school page.
What Matters?
- Being appreciated for the services provided to the customer, because being appreciated is one of the strongest motivators for what we do.
- Being able to maintain a relationship with the loyal customers, as they are the best form of indirect advertising.
- Keeping my employees happy and up to date – they are the ones who run the business.
- Being able to do what I want, where I want, when I want to. Autonomy empowers.
- Keeping customers happy. Without them your business cannot sustain itself. Why go the extra mile when we can go two?
- Whatever matters most to our customers is what matters most to me. We can’t go wrong putting our customers first.
- Being able to make your business stand out from all the other competitors as the market is quite saturated already.
- Being able to apply technology to leverage the efficiency and effectiveness of the workflow and processess of the business.

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 year-old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child’s hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father… with painful eyes he asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’
The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times… Devastated by his own actions …sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written ’LOVE YOU DAD’.
The next day that man committed suicide. Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life. Things are to be used and people are to be loved, But the problem in today’s world is that people are used and things are loved.
Be sure to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but people are to be loved. Be yourself. This is the only day we HAVE.
Watch your thoughts – they become words. Watch your words – they become actions. Watch your actions – they become habits. Watch your habits – they become character. Watch your character – it becomes your destiny.

I’ve always wondered about the science behind making an educated guess for MCQ questions, especially if you have absolutely no clue about or just want to confirm your answer. I finally stumbled upon this cool article on the net which I want to repost and share (use at your own risk).
Intelligent MCQ Guessing
- Alternatives with absolute or universal qualifiers are usually wrong (“all”, “every”, “never”, “in no case”, “in every case”, etc.)
- Alternatives that seem impossible or that seem completely unrelated to the question are usually wrong (watch out for alternatives that are true, but have nothing to do with the question).
- If two or more alternatives say the same thing, each is probably wrong (you can have two that are wrong, but not two that are right on m/c tests).
- The answer to one question is sometimes given away in another question (tests contain a lot of information – use it).
- When 3 or more alternatives deal in different ways with one concept, one of them is usually right. The instructor usually doesn’t waste 3 alternatives on single incorrect concept. In this case, he or she most likely wants to have you discriminate knowledge.
- If two answers contain a similar sounding word, such as “subordination” and “subrogation,” choose one of these.
- If two answers are almost identical except for a few words, choose one of these.
- If two answers seem extreme, they should be eliminated, and a guess made as to the remaining answers. As an example, if the answer is to be a number, and 3, 57, 89, 1103 are the choices given, you should eliminate the 3 and 1103, and take a guess at one of the remaining choices.
- If you are unable to eliminate any answer on a 4 answer question, choose the third. Experience has shown that it has a better than 25% chance of being the correct answer.
- Don’t try to apply definitions from outside the course. Answer the questions found on your lecture and class reading; not based on educational knowledge that you have.
- Never argue with a question. Accept it at face value.
- When all else fails:
- choose the alternative that makes the best sentence, when added to the open-ended question.
- look for subject-verb agreement.
- know the instructor’s quirks of language.
- choose the longer answer. The instructor may have used more words to make the answer precise; thus the most correct.
- None of these rules works all the time, so use them only if you must.
