This past week has been a blur.
This Sunday
Paul,
Kyle, and I worked on our monopoly clone for
CSC370. It will take a miracle to finish it on time. We have a ton of class mandated design docs but nearly no code. It is due this Thursday.
On Saturday, I went down to a school with
Eric to recover a NT server that had died under odd circumstances. We got the server back up and I have a disk awaiting a post-mortem. The server in question seems to have forgotten that anything happened since nearly a month ago, but it continued to function until a couple of weeks ago. I don't see any signs that the RAID mirror got out of sync, so the whole thing is puzzling.
All I have to say about Friday is that work is going to become far more interesting.
The rest of the week was pretty normal.
Woah. Where did the week go?
Its Tuesday again. Tuesday means class at 10. No homework due today, which is always good.
I'm doing laundry right now. Being an avoidant user of a contentious resource is a pain.
Saturday/Sunday is normally laundry day, but
Paul and I were supposedly busy working on a
class project.
Dr. Williams, great guy, recently earned his doctorate. Now
CUW is chasing him away. I am most annoyed and feel another anti-CUW flame coming on. I'll try to suppress it until after the semester is over. Anyway, Dr. Williams is a great prof and the only reason why I'm still in school.
Our
ACM chapter is holding elections on Thursday, that or nominating people, I forget which. It will be interesting since nearly every member will have to be an officer.
Summer math fun
Math is my worst subject. It is my worst subject simply because I have never devoted the time necessary to properly learn it.
Sure, my parents made me learn the basics, but I didn't want to listen. Thus there are several gaps in my basic math knowledge because I did not want to learn. Now I want to learn, so I'm going to cover math over this summer.
Course of math work over the summer:
Saxon Math 54 by Hake & Saxon
Saxon Algebra 1/2 by Saxon
Saxon Algebra 1 by Saxon
Fundamentals of Algebra and Trigonometry by Swokowski
Calculus by Gillman & McDowell
Discrete Mathematics by Johnsbaugh
Antennas and Waves by King & Harrison
Understanding Fiber Optics by Hecht
I'm hoping to work through one book every two weeks.
This whole
Ward Churchill thing is getting annoying. How long does it take to fire someone for academic dishonesty?
Not to feed the trolls, but this storm does give us a
decent horrid name for a band. How about Ward Churchill and the Little Eichmanns?
Perhaps someday I'll mix up the audio from some protest recordings and give it that title. It would be fitting considering how much leftist protesters seem to enjoy wearing swastikas while chanting nazish things about Israelis.
And yes, I do enjoy poking trolls in the eye with pointy sticks.
