I was starting another assignment/project for one of my classes at the University, and found myself wishing that I had a Subversion repository available on the computer science server, luna.
So I made a little post on the Ataraxis forums asking for the Subversion tools to be made available on Luna.
After a few “hell yeahs” from [...]
It’s that time of year again, where I resume classes at the University of Windsor, plodding steadily onward toward my degree, and thus freedom.
Lo, here be classes.
There’s a Network Architecture class, and one dedicated to Network Security. A lecture on Database Management (and presumably design), and presenting them through the over-hyped World Wide Web Information [...]
A story popped up on in various news feeds about a new bill proposed by United States of America House of Representatives lawmakers on May 9th. The supporters are all Republican, but the issue is so generic and silly that it’ll probably draw support from both sides anyway.
Specifically, the bill appears to be aimed at [...]
So I passed everything, which is pretty good. Sail onward!
60-256: A- (System Programming, C)
60:265: C+ (Systems Architecture 1: Digital Design)
60-254: A- (Data Structures and Algorithms)
60-120: C (Algebra)
60-212, Java, does thusly take mine boot in its arse.
Project is done, exam is done. Now we’re just waiting for the marks. I must say, I dislike being forced, for the sake of examination, to think up fanciful error cases just to demonstrate try-catch.
I was rather concerned about about missing elements of answering on question [...]
Sigh. Finished my absurdly absurd Java project for 60-212 – Introduction to OO Java. You can download a zipped tarball of the mess, if you want, though I promise it’s god-awful.
Things I have learned in this class: Java sucks hardcore. It is completely useless for any actual task, regardless of complexity. Exception error handling and [...]
I got a 69% on my Java midterm. That sucked. When I went to look at the paper, it was discovered that the third of three questions was marked very poorly. To the tune of 19% less than I should have received, seemingly because the TA did not approve, or comprehend the use, of multi-dimentional [...]
I wrote my second Java midterm this morning. Java is a stupid language, but it makes dealing with string processing easier than C. It was open-book, after a sort. Which means we could bring a big ugly useless java textbook to the midterm, and it wasn’t going to help at all. At least, that was [...]
Going out with some friends tonight, will be back late.
Have Java midterm tomorrow morning, will be needing sleep.
Have gotten the cd.
J, check the blogs directly, follow the commenter’s links
I stayed up all night, and finished my paper. It’s not the best thing I’ve ever written, and my supporting arguments are somewhat flimsy, but it’s complete. It would appear that my understanding of Descartes’ reasonings is fairly accurate.
After handing in the paper, I went home to sleep. I did not, as I should have, [...]
