Seems ok, but I dont think you need the completed_auctions table. Its redundant and it will make harder to develop an application.

My sister went from a £150 samsung notebook to a macbook air is amazed by how quickly it turns on and she will never go back to windows because it is so slow. My PC beats her boot up time but shes still not impressed because my phone wont sync all the shit from her iphone to a PC as if by magic.  

I'd like to think as soon as he said it you just slammed your face on the desk no delay no questions asked just slammed it lool

kl thanks, just overclocked my monitor from 60Hz to 70Hz YOLO.

Hi @Alir 
Im a .net developer here in the UK.  Been at it for 2 years and got my job through QA Apprenticeships.  The UK is looking more to apprenticeships to fill the technology skill gap that already exists here and is likely to increase over the next little while.
However I do not think an apprenticeship will be right for you, mainly because of your ambitions to enter the game industry.  By all means have a look around for apprenticeships but when I was looking I cant recall seeing much around in the games industry.  I think a degree is more necessary to get your foot in the door in the games industry it being such a competitive space.  So completing a sandwich university course like @squirrl recommended is a good shout, you get a degree and hopefully a year of good experience
If after that the games industry isnt for you you are unlikely to have any trouble transitioning into a more generic software development position.
 
EDIT:  You are right about most likely not being able to pay off uni debt especially if you live out at uni.  It was wrong of the government to increase tuition fees as they did what they effectively have done is implement a tax on uni grads until their debt is written off.  That would have been a better option IMO, rather than scaring young adults with huge amounts of debt.  We already have young people in this country topping themselves seeing no prosperous future for themselves imagine the impact a large amount of debt will have on their minds, might be enough to send a few over the edge.

Here is my short take on the Dell P2415Q 4k/UHD 24” 16:9 monitor. For a more detailed/technical piece, the folks at PC Monitors have a good review posted on their site.
 
My Use Cases:
Digital Photography and Editing – Full-frame DSLR RAW Files @5k Resolution Un-cropped Casual Gaming – FPS, Racing, Sim, etc. Install & Setup:
Packaging for transport is all cardboard, with no foam or padding. It is still well secured, though, and I wouldn’t be worried about it during shipping. The screen does have the standardized foamy cover over it. I didn’t notice any blemishes on my model. Unpack was very easy (contents are basically the screen, the stand, and the cables/docs/disc), and physical installation even easier. Just lay the screen flat facing down, and then click-in the stand to the receptacle on the back of the screen panel without the need for tools/screws. Done. The included DP to miniDP cable is reversible. I used the DP side on my GPU and the miniDP side as input to the monitor. If I want to connect my 13” MBP Retina to the display, I can just use the miniDP side for the Thunderbolt port and the DP side into the associated monitor input space. There is another DP output on the display for daisychaining. I am not currently using the USB 3.0 ports provided. Dell includes a USB cable, if you do want to make use of them. Once powered on, the miniDP input was not auto-detected. I needed to select the correct input from the OSD. Fortunately that menu and the raised buttons to control it are very intuitive to use without too many options and sub-menus to get lost in. I set the color to the factory sRGB calibrated “Standard” and Dell includes a document with those calibration results for those who like to look over that kind of stuff. Physical Appearance:
I would venture a guess that the 24” size of this 4k monitor might be considered too small for some people. I personally find this screen to be a perfect size for my needs. It fits nicely onto my writing desk and into the room in general, without being overwhelmingly large as if it were a second TV. Plus, sitting so close to larger screens while gaming in FPS style gives me a bit of a headache. Down the road, both the compact size and reasonable pricing of this model make it very attractive to simply add a second unit to my setup. I paid an all-inclusive total of $490 to my front door for this display. Dell does not really make pretty hardware. I find the basic design of their displays to be good looking enough, but the Dell logo on the front of the bezel in silver is not great. I would like to see them remove the logo from the front altogether for a simple and clean look, in all-black atop the silver base. The hole in the base for cable pass-through is another minor eye-sore but it basically disappears from sight and mind once you’re up and running. The full tilt and swivel features feel like a bonus. I don’t really move my display around that much after initial placement, but knowing that I can make these adjustments without feeling like I paid extra for them is much appreciated. Operating System and Digital Appearance:
UPDATE: Windows 10 Pro High DPI scaling works just fine. I currently use Windows 7 Pro with scaling set to 150%. It’s just livable, and I find myself leaning into the screen a bit to focus on the smaller text items. I am hopeful that Windows 10 will fix this issue. OS X has implemented a very solid scaling solution with HiDPI and I’m not sure why other OS’s cannot simply do the same kind of thing. Steam in big-picture mode looks just fine, so no issue there. Lightroom for photo editing is also OK, but I have to lean in to use all those sliders while making adjustments. To address the scaling/appearance issue, I believe Dell has been clever with their implementation of lower resolutions such as 1080p and 1440p. From the PC Monitors review: “It is a common misconception that running 1920 x 1080 on a ‘4K’ UHD monitor will automatically provide equivalent sharpness to a native 1920 x 1080 display. That belief is held because the UHD resolution has exactly twice as many pixels vertically and twice as many pixels horizontally as the Full HD resolution. In practice monitor interpolation processes aren’t perfect.
 
In the case of the Dell P2415Q, though, the interpolation process is surprisingly good. In fact we’d go as far as to say it’s excellent. If you run the monitor at 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) or 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) then you do lose a degree of sharpness compared to running that resolution on a 23.8” model that has a similar screen surface. This loss of sharpness is fairly minor, though, and is in fact one of the lowest losses of sharpness we’ve seen from an interpolation process on any monitor. On the desktop text looks a little soft but not really blurry as you’d usually observe from a normal viewing distance. When looking at images or playing games the monitor seems to capture a lot of the detail you’d expect when running the resolution natively. This interpolation performance is much better than we’ve seen on other ‘4K’ UHD models and we feel makes the monitor rather flexible.”
 
Color Performance:
Absolutely perfect for me, and should be for others who also live in the sRGB web/connected digital media space. I can easily find the sweet spots of saturation/contrast without hunting or guessing while editing photos and that just saves me time. Well done, Dell. Gaming Performance:
I am quite stunned by how well my GTX 980 SC is able to handle 4k gaming. I really thought it was going to be crap, and I was wrong. I used GeForce Experience to scale down the quality, which basically turns off AA and leaves the other settings on “High.” In-game performance was totally acceptable to me, but I fully realize that serious gamers will most likely be put out by the frame rates achievable.  I pulled a Valley benchmark of 35fps using 4k “Ultra” with AA turned off. Going down to “High” probably would put me closer to 60fps – but I should confirm. There is an overlap of gaming performance when using 1440p full-quality settings and 2160p medium-quality settings. I found them to be pretty much equivalent. Per the interpolation snip above, the monitor runs lower resolutions very well. This gives different users some flexibility, and that’s a serious benefit. Other Notes:
I’ll use this section for future input. Conclusion:
The Dell P2415Q is a very flexible display with a compact footprint (and a sensible price) that allows me to span 1080p, 1440p, and 4k depending on my needs and the application in use. It’s an easy recommendation for a user looking for a great all-rounder.

Can I download more space for my iPod?...

Check out this post on Stack Overflow, it may help
 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2416748/how-to-simulate-mouse-click-in-c

Apologies, but I don't know the C# libraries, but maybe this can help. It has source code too

Do you want it to click a button within the application, or have it work as a global auto clicker?
 
I'm just going to assume global, I've put together a sample project to lend you a hand. It uses "magic numbers," I assume that you'll be able to modify on your own if you'd like to change that.
I implemented it using a timer, since I think that is a better option than sleeping the thread.

Doesn't that dude look like Linus, lol?

kl thanks, just overclocked my monitor from 60Hz to 70Hz YOLO.

Only thing I didn't like about the code was all the redundant return statements and initializing values for some fields.
Unreachable break statement at line 525
 
Nothing wrong with your use of case statements =) Could use enums if you wanted the case statements to be more readable

@Ethnod I have a Nexus 5 for personal use and a Samsung S4 as a work phone.  Both will be fine for your needs and not break the bank. Also similarly specd.  Really its a choice between stock android or Samsungs skin of android which for what ever reason i cant remember the name of.
