NUS Conference
This week I am off to Blackpool for the annual NUS Conference, which should be an interesting choice given that I have seven finals coming up, with the first on the 28th April.
That said, I’ll be able to bump into a few old faces from other unis, and or course (and more importantly) help take the opinions of the students of UCL Union to the body that represents us nationally.
With an HE funding review coming up, there’s no more pressing time for the country’s students to be organized and vocal about the issues that affect us directy. Conference is our chance to debate the stance we’ll be taking over the coming year.
I’ll be updating twitter as often as I can during the conference, and the accepted hastag is #nusconf if you want to see what other student tweeple are saying.
AudioBoo testing
I’ve signed up for AudioBoo, with the app on my iPhone, and have so far only made two ‘boos’ as I think they’re knowing. I’m not entirely sure if it’s a useful service or not, which will probably be answered by the number of users in six months’ time. So far only about two of the 100+ people I’m following on Twitter seem to be using it.
Anyway, here’s me testing whether I can embed it on wordpress.com or not:
Okay, so the embed code automatically turns into a link to an mp3 of the audio. Harrumph.
