We had Michele Mosca come talk to us yesterday in my Applied Crypotography course. He was my prof for Introduction to Combinatorics. He can be a funny guy. He’ll crack a lot of jokes, but just keep talking like nothing funny was said. Yeasterday he talked about quatum computing and how it applied to computational [...]

I finished off my last OS assignment yesterday at about 4:30 PM (half an hour early). It is a big relief. It means I am now basically done my most dreaded course in univerisity. I’ve definitely put more work into it than any other course. But the term is not over yet. I’ve got an [...]

More blogging about blogs. I plan on checking out some Moveable Type Plugins and maybe I’ll even learn how to develop some plugins of my own.

I was able to import all the entries from my old weblog. It is interesting to look back upon. It some ways seems like a long time ago, in others it does not.

I get cold hands a lot when typing and from what I hear a lot of other people do too. So where are the products that help solve this problem. I’ve thought of the idea of having a heated jell pad that you rest your wrists on. They already have the jell pads, but I [...]

A blogger is a stalker’s dream is an article that brings up several potential negatives about blogging. No real new ideas, bascially that a lot of weblogs have no real content and that by posting personal information to the web, it is avaliable to everyone. Yes, there are a lot of crap websites out there. [...]

Tonght my prof for Mass Communications did not show up. Instead some TA’s just threw in some movies for us to watch. Normally the prof is done around 9:00, but I don’t know if the TA’s realized this night classes are offically until 10. I left at 9:50 in the middle of the 3rd movie. [...]

I spend most of Thursday thru Monday morning in the computer labs working on OS. I’m guessing we put 40+ hours in the labs. The last bit was frustrating, as at about 4 we seemed to have things working relatively smoothly. However, things seemed to go downhill from there. Test cases stopped working, and we [...]
