fuzzy animal photos and a rant about Indian restaurants
My finals are tomorrow, and then this semester will be over! I’m going to take a visit home to my parents’ house soon and, boy, am I excited because they have had new ducklings and kittens born while I was away:
Despite what it looks like, I don’t think my dad was poking the kittens [...]
semester wrapup and LBP
I’m still alive! The semester is winding down and homework-wise I’m almost done. I just have to finish one last Linux kernel project and, after a poster presentation on Thursday, I’ll write an executive summary about my usability project and be done. I have a group presentation to give in a little [...]
new haircut, Alejandro by Ace of Base?
I got a haircut today:
Nothing fancy, I just got the ends trimmed, some layers cut in, bulk razored out of the back, and it’s angled slightly toward my face in the front. The stylist was friendly and gave me a 20% student discount which they apparently have every Monday-Thursday. Despite going to this [...]
nightcrawlers
I observed an interesting phenomenon last night. My parents and my brother are neighbors, and I usually spend the night at my brother’s place when I visit home. While walking out to my brother’s house last night, it was pitch black in the field between their houses, and I was carrying a flashlight. [...]
up early for test and soup-bowl latte
I feel like the walking dead but will be heading to a coffee shop for studying this morning since I have a test in my Linux kernel class. I did this last week in preparation for my requirements engineering test and it went pretty well. They gave me a latte in what looked [...]
more corporate confusion
First there was Toys R Us and a PS3, now there’s AT&T and my refurbished phone purchase. I blogged just this morning about buying a refurbished Samsung Magnet to replace my dying Sony Ericsson Z750, but I had some hassle today when I checked the AT&T web site and saw that I could’ve gotten [...]
new phone on the way after mine snooped on me
I’ve had a few problems with my current phone, a Sony Ericsson Z750, over the past few months. It started when I would try to make a call and it wouldn’t ring, it just sat there silently displaying the text “Calling whoever…”. I would hang up, try again, and it would usually work. [...]
mad lib forms and backordered PS3
Devin just sent this to me via StumbleUpon: “Mad Libs” Style Form Increases Conversion 25-40%. I think those examples look totally neat and I want to try out a mad lib-style form or two on 3till7. Maybe the comments form and contact me form.
Also, it seems as though the left hand doesn’t [...]
merge sort, the eater of nodes
I’m so tickled to have completed an assignment for my Linux kernel class. The specification was as follows:
Modify the algorithm that allocates a file descriptor for the open() and socket() calls. Implement a per-process variable availableFileDescriptor whose value is always the number of the first available file descriptor. Make sure that when a process [...]
the hunt for a decent cake mix
