In this episode I make a hazmat suit to be able to handle the deadly radioactive materials we will be handling for the nuclear reactor. As well as that I get really angry at a zombie who sneaks up on me.

Perils of Programming
So if you are reading this you are already a programmer or looking at getting in to programming. Either way this should be a good and helpful read for you. As a working man who programs pretty much every day it is no supprise I make mistakes, quite a few tbh, but they aren't big mistakes that can be overly complex.
They are usually the mundane missing a semi colon or most recently an incorrect spacing. These can drive you mad searching tirelessly for the most simple errors and as such I have learnt a fair few ways of trying to reduce the number of these errors and just improve all round code. You may have heard of a few of these and there may be more but these are my top 5.
Number 1: It seems fairly obvious but some people don't like letting other people look at their work. However, if you ever want a simple bug being found quick and easily, give it to someone who doesn't know what your program does. They will be looking at it with fresh eyes and won't think about, "Oh this could be improved by this", they will be less distracted by the program and more likely to spot the simple errors. So suck up what ever pride you think you have and ask for someone to give your code a quick read through.
Number 2: If no one is around or you are too stubborn to ask for help then fair enough, read it yourself. Just take your time and read it as though it was being ran, don't go off to look at other methods to try and see what they are doing. This is where the debugger comes in really handy, it allows you to run the program step by step seeing what variables are what. You never know you might come across a missing semi colon or a mis typed variable that stops everything from working. It happens I know.
Number 3: Comment your code, dear god comment it. This can not be said enough, comments are so usefull and I am not on about just the one line saying does stuff. If you comment often and clearly not only other people will know what you have written should do but so will you when you come back to it. The number of times I didn't comment something because I knew what it was at the time then came back to it and was like, erm what is quite a lot. It is a vital part to programming, yes the computer might know what the code does but when you come back to improve or use your code you will have no idea and that can make chages really hard to implement.
Number 4: Test. Now this can be manual tests, automated tests or other tests but testing works out the kinks. As well as that it helps you write better code and reduce pointless code. With a good few tests you can see where and why your code is failing and what you can possibly do to remedy it. It can get boring but if you do it as you go along you won't have a LOAD of tests at the end to write. As well it also helps see if any new code you have put in breaks existing code.(see regression tests).
Number 5: Write code, any code and lots of it. Practice makes perfect...but nobody is perfect so why practice..... because you can come damn close to being perfect. The better and quicker you can write code the more money you are likely to earn. So crack those fingers, sit down and give yourself a simple coding challenge. It is a great way to try and learn a new language or just boost knowledge in an existing one, it doesn't have to be anything huge, try conways game of like or noughts and crasses. You can write something that solves a problem you are working on or something that makes your life a little easier. The more you write the better and less buggy your code will be, there will always be those bugs that creep in though, it happens to us all.
I hope these few bits of info help in your programming endevours and if you have any pointers you would like to share please leave a comment below.

So the past couple of weeks has been super busy so here goes it.
The first big thing that happened was me and a good friend went to seafood festival in Aberaeron. I got to try a load of lovly seafood and sing, singing in the rain, in the rain. As well as this I got to try oysters for the first time with chilli sauce. They taste nice but I could not quite decide if I liked the texture or not, so I had another. Overall I think I like them, after got some delicious mint cake.
On the job front I have a job in Leicester as a Web developer. It is going well and getting on ok, only done first day though. Will have to wait and see how it goes in the long term.
Also I officially graduated in a lovely and warm gown then got my expensive bit of paper(Degree). Already missing Aberystwyth, considering trying to become a lecturer there but we will see on that front. See picture below.
YouTube videos should be back on schedule now and hopefully more live streams, so stay tuned :).

Another week gone and stuff to talk about so lets get straight to it.
First lets get the important stuff out the way, Jurassic World. Yes it was good, a lot better than I was expecting it to be however the ending did let it down just a bit. I love the throw back to the classic films and couldn't help smile when the Chris Pratt meme scene came on. If you are not aware of this then you must live under a rock, check image below to see what I am on about.
I'm trying to keep up to date with videos but this coming week I am doing a lot of traveling so they won't be kept up to date as much. They will be back to the daily schedule soon. I will also have to start looking into getting some more storage space as my hard drives are filling up quite quickly.
Interesting bit of information here, turns out Windows 10 will not be free.

Results....SOON!
So the time is almost upon us Aber people. Those who are graduating will be getting results this Thursday, that includes me. Can not lie I am a little nervous but I think it should be ok, can not see why I would not get a 2:1. Really hope I don't get a 2:2 as I said I would go graduation in a tutu otherwise but chances of that are really unlikely (touch wood).
My time at uni really is coming to an end as the first flat mate has moved out and the other one to be gone by the end of the week. I hopefully will not be too far behind as I hope to get a job sorted as soon as possible. Speaking of I have a few phone interviews and a couple face to face meetings to get through so hopefully some of them will prove fruitful.
As well as looking for work and preparing to move I have also been playing some 7 days to die with flat mate which you should be able to see on my channel soon (link below). I have also watch an excellent new Netflix season called sense8, really good and recommend checking it out. As well as checking out Daredevil tv series if you have not already checked that out and Dark matter. Dark matter is a little Firefly esk but so far not that level of awesome, it has the potential.
Finally yesterday was fathers day so I hope you all (who can) wished your father a happy day if not there is still time, a few days late won't matter :).

So it has been an interesting week. There were bats(well just the one), driving, coffee, job talks and many youtube videos and adjustments.
So first off the bat? Well the other day it was nice so me and a friend went on a walk up Pen Dinas a hill near where I live. After watching a never ending heard of cows we decided to head back home as my hayfever was playing up. On the way down I spotted a bat on the path crawling along. Upon closer inspection the bat appeared to be injured as such my friend decided to contain the bat(carefully) in her hoodie. After calling flatmate to drive up with a container we managed to get the bat back to our house where we proceded to call bat conservation society and RSPCA. They said to put it in a shoe box with a tea towel(to snuggle into) a milk lid with a wet kitchen roll for drink and bit of cat food for sustanance.
When we finally go through to someone who could help they said that no one could pick him up the next day. As such we kept the bat over night, unfourtunatelly no one came to pick him up but there was someone only an hour away. So me and my friend drove to Carno a small village in west Wales to a lovely b&b where we met a lovely woman who was a drop of location for bats. After speaking with her and being shown the lovely b&b we found out the the bat was not a he but a she and had a damaged wing. She said she would take care and get her to someone who looks after bats and let us know what happens. There is a picture below of the bat
That was the most hectic it has got this past week. On the other end I have tried some delicious orange liquor coffee that a friend brought and was very nice. Tasted exactly like the chocolates but hot and coffee like.
My job hunting is going alright I a few phone interviews and a face to face as well. I have a few emails which I need to send out soon, got to keep on top of these things I want a job you know.
Finally videos been going up and got thumbnails sorted as well as links to this blog so everything is getting connected. Check me out online at the links below or by googling mentalmarriott and until next time laters.
As always constructive criticism welcome :)

Well it is update time and the past week or so has been busy but not all around great. Not terrible just few things going wrong most of which have been remedied. Also A few little rants a bout things mostly job applications and the passing of an acting legend Sir Christopher Lee.
So job applications, it is that time of year when graduates who do not have a job spam out applications left right and center in hopes to get a job. I am no exception, however, some of the jobs that I have applied for have been asking for a minimum of 260, 280, 300 ucas points.
Now this would be fine if my ucas points were that high but due to a not so good sixth form I went to university as a mature student. Here I have more than proven my determination at working and that I can get good grades, likely to get a high 2:1 and that I can combine that with an active social life. While at university I have undertaken archery, fencing, football, dancing( both latin and ballroom) and competed in them.
So because of this I just wish jobs would judge you on you latest qualification and achievements, because after all that is who I am/have been for the past 4+ years.
It has not all been applying for jobs I have also been trying to get Ad Sense working on my blog and having issues with ads being shown but not displayed in the layout manager. Turns out if you have an add blocker it hides the ads even in the layout manager, so after disabling it I could then remove most of the ads that were spamming my blog page.
I have been trying to seek out work in other areas such as free lancing on sites such as Elance. This site seems pretty good so far giving you choice of pay limitations and what work you take on. However I came across an issue when trying to add my address, no matter what address I entered I always got the error;
'Please enter a valid location.'
This was slightly irritating so I tweeted Elance and they responded quickly asking for user name and screen shot of the issue. I am still waiting to hear from them about a fix but until then I can work without an address.
Now to the sad news, I woke up today to hear the passing of Sir Christopher Lee at the age of 93.He was well known for his iconic acting roles as Dracula, Saruman, count Dooku the list goes on. He was in the Wicker Man, the man with the golden gun and countless other, he has had an amazing acting career. I have not seen everything he has been in and I doubt many people reading this will have too or just not realised it. I think that I am going to have to have a Christopher Lee marathon of films at some point soon.
He passed away at 8:30am on Sunday 7th June 2015 due to heart and respiratory problems. He is now out there with some of the great actors and my sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

Some work and some play
Well It has been a bit more than a week since I last updated this but it has been very busy. I have signed up to a few sports and I am fully into my lectures after a bit of module switching.
So first up uni work, well after swapping Space robotics for Computer vision I have more or less settled in nicely. A few assignments/tasks have been handed out and they look really fun and...awkward. I am having a bit of trouble with one of my modules as it involves a lot of maths, such as matrix transformations. All the rest are really interesting and hopefully should all go well.
Now for the extra curricular activities...
First up I have joined the Aberystwyth robotics society to work on various bits and bobs. One main area of interest is quad-copters and other flying machines. I am also soon to start looking at a Reprap 3D printer to try and help get it working.
I am also a part of the Digs football team, F.C. Beaver. First training session didn't go brilliantly and it chucked it down with rain mid way. Should get better :). I have my first friendly tomorrow against Ivory Toast so should be fun and shall see how that goes.
I have also taken up fencing which is very fun but tiring and stressful on the legs. I have learnt a few moves such as lunge, disengage and circle parry and a few others. It also works up a bit of a sweat wearing all the gear. I am however considering putting myself up for vote to be novice representative.
Finally I have also taken up ballroom dancing. This is brilliant fun and shows me how much I know about my right and left. So far learnt the basics of Waltz, Cha, Jive and Quickstep and a few little bits such as the new yorker. I have also put myself down for competing at basic level which could be interesting so lots of practice.
Well that is it so far, I am keeping busy and loving every moment. Stay tuned for more news.

Introductions
Well this is my first post(On my new blog, all the posts before this were imported) so I think I should introduce myself a bit. My name is Chris and I am 24, won't give you too much on me, stops you tracking me down :P
A little bit about myself. I am quite crazy and very talkative, tall at around 6' 2", love to have a laugh and travel. I don't play games that much as I am not brilliant but I have been doing more since restarting my YouTube channel. I love watching TV and Films and could talk about them forever.
I am currently on my industrial year down south which will becoming to an end soon, this makes me sad. I have learnt loads while down here and hopefully can come back as a Graduate. I have met some wonderful people here who I hope to remain friends with for a long while and hopefully see them again at some point in the future.
In a couple months time I shall be heading to my parents hope for a brief stop and relaxation and then it will be back off to university for my final year. I go university in Aberystwyth, which if you are not familiar with, is a lovely coastal town in Wales(Lovely when not being destroyed by waves, no seriously check the past news reports). My time there has been fantastic and amazing, the people I have met there will be friends for life, some of whom I would even go as far as to call my family. When I get back I will be living with two other friends who do computer science, which is what I do by the way. I am not looking forward to the large amount of work that needs to be done but I am looking forward to being home.
Before I go I shall leave you with some handy links :)
YouTube - Ignore the first few videos, the channel is still going under changes and I am getting used to some video editing settings.
Twitter - Feel free to follow or message me on here and I will also try and get back to you if you ask a question. If you have any topics you wish for me to talk about please don't hesitate to ask.
