Learn something new

"Education, education, education"... so said our illustrious leader laying out what his government's priorities would be if they got into power. They did, and standards have continued to fall, started by that bitch Thatcher, unabated. So, if you can't get a decent education here how about tapping into MIT's (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) excellent OpenCourseWare site, a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self-learners around the world. OCW supports MIT's mission to advance knowledge and education, and serve the world in the 21st century. They've got the lecture notes, assignments, reading lists, exams etc for over 700 courses spread across 33 faculties. You can't claim to be a MIT undergraduate and obviously there is no certificate at the end of it but the information supplied is an excellent resource for self learning.

Of most interest to me is the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering courses but there is such a huge range of topics that you're bound to find something that is to your liking. To make it just like the real thing turn on Countdown, make a cup of tea, fire up the PC and spend the next 6 hours playing Doom and Descent... ah, happy days.
