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 [...]
textbook prices, torch juggling, and a snake breeder
I just had my first day of classes and I’m excited about the semester, but depressed about how much money I just spent on books. This semester hit a lot harder than last semester where the most I think I spent was maybe $60 on a book. Let’s run down a list of [...]
an abstract and a cold
Jon and I started rewatching the Quantum Leap series from the 90s last night. We’d talked before about how we both used to love it. I never saw the episodes in order, and I know I haven’t seen all of them. My dad and I would watch reruns on the SciFi channel [...]
sleep and bellies
Darra, my software engineering partner, sent me what she’d worked up for our presentation tomorrow in class. I just finished going over it, and I’ve also finished my algorithms homework, meaning… I’m free!!! Of course, at this point I’m pretty much just free to go to bed, but it’s still nice to [...]

paper done and slow-ass clinic
I finished my programming paper! I’ve sent a copy to Jon to review it and should hopefully mail it off to my professor tonight. After the semester’s over, I plan on releasing my programs for that class on here, probably under the GPL as I’ve done in the past. I’ll stick that [...]
page nine and Santa humor
Well, the ice on my car has melted and the brief snow we had this morning is over, so now it just looks like your average gray winter day out there. (On a side note, you people what spell “gray” with an ‘e’ wig me out. I’m lookin’ at you, Melissa.) I [...]
finisher of summaries and snuggler of the sick
I’ve been pretty productive today, considering it’s a Saturday and I usually try to slack off on Saturdays. I have accomplished the following:
Finished the final three paper summaries for my software engineering class, which is fortunate since they were due today;
Wrote a good part of a new layout for this site (guess it doesn’t [...]
the wily C# shuffle
My programming languages professor is quite the wily one. For our last programming assignment in there, we’re to write a fraction class in both Java and Smalltalk, as part of our coverage of object-oriented languages. I asked if I could do C# and Smalltalk, since I really like C# and, darn it, everyone [...]
sloppy summing
Ha ha ha, my sucky summation skills suck slightly less than simply sidestepping summation-solving. Let me explain: I had my only midterm last week in algorithms and I thought I did terribly, in part because of how I solved the following summation: . That summation came about when solving the recurrence [...]
