So in an attempt to torture ourselves, Josh and I are watching America's Got Talent. Thoth was just on. I saw him and knew it was him instantly. I imagine not too many people (including the judges) knew that he was the subject of an Academy Award winning documentary. I just thought it was interesting to see him on this show. It seemed out of place, but at least he was on TV.
OK, back to homework. I'm almost done with the networking homework. Still plenty of other things to do though. Bleh.
I am locking myself away from the web for a bit. I really need to focus on getting some homework done. That list I posted a few days ago has grown. Not cool. Also, I want to try to spend a little time with Josh tomorrow. We have not had a day off together in quite a long time. So, if you don't hear from me for a few days, you know why.
In other news. I returned from visiting my dad a few hours ago. He had goodies from his trip. Actually my goody got left behind, but I am OK. I've been there enough in my life that I don't need goodies. It was mostly for the youngins. Josh got goodies though. My dad and I went shopping to find out what we can do about my mom's phone. She left it on the enclosed patio overnight and now the screen is solid white. Doh. We discovered that there is a corporate cell store around the corner from their house, not just a reseller. Nice! So a new phone is being shipped and her old one will go back for evaluation. We also bought plants for their yard (not from the cell store) and some other yard related odds and ends. Here's hoping the kids stay out of these plants.
I found a backyard table and chair set that was really inexpensive. It was tempting, but that is something I would consult Josh on. We currently have the camping chair out on the patio for the cat to bird watch from. That's it. We kind of need something.
OK, off to work on that homework. I'm getting distracted again. Just a few more weeks, that's all.
I watch the news often. I read the news even more often. Interestingly enough, I have heard little to nothing on U.S. news stations regarding the cyclone that hit Pakistan and the immense damage it caused. Is it because Pakistan isn't a tourist/resort area? Why is it that the places that seem to get the help are the places where the tourists come? There was a town destroyed (literally) in the midwest and we didn't have any fundraising events or calls for aid. Why? /hrmphh
There are some times I like having google ads on my sites. I find some quite interesting links that way. Today I discovered the litter robot. I could totally see myself getting one of those and painting it to look more like Marvin.
I'm waiting for my grade to be posted. Yesterday I demonstrated my networking program to the Teaching Assistant and damnit I want my grade.
My eye is twitching. Weird.
Downing St. door opening... news conference...
My poor dad. He's flying home today and now this crap happens. I hope this doesn't delay his plane leaving. He has already said that he doesn't want anyone coming to the airport until he is at the airport!
*Update: Dad's flight was delayed an hour and a half. It will probably be a pain in the arse on getting back in the U.S. though. Just as long as he gets home safe.
My wrists are hurting. I've been spending an insane amount of time on my computer and my wrists have finally started complaining. Josh had mentioned about getting hand weights to try and strengthen them. I have some either one or two pound ones, so I may need to start. I am taking my time typing this, so it is ok. I'm also sitting in a way that makes it easier to type, but hard to sit without feeling like you are going to fall. Bleh.
I have started working on my fourth cs programming assignment. I hope this is it. I'm tired. I knew this 12 weeks would be rough, but I was hoping for a break somewhere. I just hope to sleep in after school is out. Yeah.. that would be nice.
I finished my third programming assignment for my computer science class. I worked for a good week on one particular implementation and I failed. I have to say, I probably was going in a little over my head, but hell, I attempted it. I finally resorted to getting the worst possible case working, to the better case, to an even better case. I don't think I reached the perfect case, but I did what I could.
Of course now our fourth assignment has been posted. I think I will take my book tomorrow and read up on this one. It seems like it might be a little more interesting. That should help during the programming of it.
I'm going to list my schedule now. Just so I can map it out in my head.
July 6, CS lab program due.
July 9, CS exam.
July 12, Networking exam.
July 13, CS program 4 due.
July 19, Networking program 2 due.
July 20, CS lab program due.
I suspect that I will have a 5th CS program due on July 27th or around there. We don't know exactly how many programs we will have.
Finals week starts the 30th and then it is graduation (hopefully)
Send me positive thoughts. I'm really going to need them.
Anne and I are bored. We finished camp (networking lab) in eleven minutes. It is a two hour long class, but we can leave when we are done. So now I am working on my program and trying to stay awake while she reads. Bored bored bored.
We're waiting for Eric to get out of class so we can eat before our networking class. I also get to give him his belated birthday present. I waited to give it to him because his birthday fell during a hectic week where we needed to focus.
Seeing as he won't be reading this until after he gets it, I can say what I got him... I picked up a copy of Knitting With Balls: A Hands-On Guide to Knitting for the Modern Man
Here's hoping he likes it.
Today is the first day of the second half of the semester. Today session B starts. There are kids walking all over the building trying to figure out where their classes are. Me, I'm hiding in the corner of my class hoping that there isn't a class in here until mine at 10am. Still, today is a marker. It reminds me that in six weeks I could be graduating. I have six weeks to get my act together and get my work done and done well. In six weeks I could theoretically be done with school forever* and enter into the real world again. In five weeks I'm going to start freaking out because we have finals, but in 5.5 weeks I will realize that I only have one final that I need to freak out about.
School. I suppose it is all worth it in the end.
*That is unless I decide that I heart school too much and want another degree.
Mother nature has been teasing us with her sounds of thunder. Oh how we could use even a little mist of her breath. Alas she has given us naught. There have been thunderstorms developing all around us, yet we haven't even received a sprinkle. Of course now that I have written those few lines, we just received a large lightning strike nearby. She knows how much I love her, yet she taunts me so.
I have been rethinking our need for a wood chipper. As truly awesome as it would be to get one, I think we should wait. We can manage without one. We may need to hire someone with a stump grinder or do something down the road and the cost of the wood chipper would be better served to go to something like that. It is just an idea.
I think I am going to start taking my camera to school. Perhaps to document my last days there. Graduation is getting closer (less than six weeks). I'm going to order announcements next weekend. I've been holding off because I really don't know what I want or need. I can't do invitations, they aren't necessary. Because our school is so large we are limited to 5 or 6 tickets per graduate. That royally sucks. My whole family can't even attend, much less extended family. So I am sticking to announcements. I'll take some shots with me in my garb and I'll have them printed and mail them out with the announcements.
The cat is being a t-u-r-d! She really wants to go on the back patio, but with the lightning, I don't want her out there. Therefore, she has decided to knock over things on the bookcase. Bad kitty.
OK, here's some advice from me regarding life...
Stop looking for love. Enjoy life with friends and family. Love will find you when it is ready and you aren't looking.
School. It is never too late. I've seen a lot of older folks on campus taking courses. In many of the cases they've retired, but they decided that they want to reach that one goal they never quite reached.
When in doubt, try the library. Libraries have book, periodicals, movies and access to the internet. What more do you need?
What can I say? She amuses me.
I am feeling really bad right now. The kind of bad where I want to be curled up in bed. I have felt that bad three times in my adult life. Once almost ten years ago, once nearly seven years ago, once about four years ago. Wow, now that I think back, I was pretty sick about three to four years. I was out of school for two weeks sick* nearly thirteen years ago. Very interesting. Not cool, but at least interesting.
*I totally missed club photos day for the yearbook that year. That bit bigtime because I was in a ton of clubs that year. I missed the freaking photo for the club that I was president of. How's that for suck?
Josh bottled his latest batch of homebrew last night. There was a wee bit left over because we didn't have enough bottles sterilized. Oops. I told Josh that he had better get drinking, but alas he didn't drink all of that (he had actually finished a glass of it already by the time I took this picture). He bottled it for consumption over the next couple of days.
Josh and I have also decided that our next big purchase will be a wood chipper.The jungle of a back yard needs clearning and a wood chipper is the most logical of purchases. It will probably be in another month or so, but look for pictures!
I managed to fix the space bar on my laptop. I discovered that the little rubber pressure node was off center and that was why it didn't always register when I actually pressed the space bar. Go me.
I just returned from the office supply store. Why did I go there? Because I wanted to buy a ledger book. I am sick of having to print and cut out my own checkbook register papers because I ran out. It seems that the check printing companies forget that now that we use debit cards so much more, we need more room when we balance our checkbooks. /sigh. So, after getting frustrated having to print, cut and staple a fake register together, I decided to run to the office supply store and buy one. Technically I bought two, but one should last me a year. Let's hope this makes life a little easier.
No shuttle landing today. It has been very overcast and humid outside, so I figured as much. Tomorrow is supposed to be much nicer, so I have to prepare myself for the sonic booms. I just hope it doesn't happen while I am driving. I have never experienced that (as either driver or passenger) and I don't know how that will feel. Yes, you can feel the sonic booms.
You may recall my post about moo-cards. Well, I finally got mine. I was wondering if maybe I didn't get in on the free ones or something, but they arrived. I understand now why it took a while for them to arrive. They are actually printed and shipped from England! Doh. At least that explains them willing to ship international.
So, what do I think of the moocards? They are seriously freaking adorable! I am very tempted to get some. I would have to think for a while about what to put on them, but darn it are the cute. They are nice quality too. They are about half the size of a business card, but they don't have raised printing like a business card. They have an eggshell finish on the front. They aren't like the business cards you get from VistaPrint. I'm really quite impressed.
I know on LJ, there were quite a few Etsy sellers using them as tags for their crafty goods. They would be perfect for that. All that they need is a tiny hole for string or ribbon.
My dad just called to see if there was anything I needed him to bring me back from his trip overseas. I could have listed a few things (yarn, more boots for my collection), but I am also old enough to buy the things myself. Anyhow, he also asked my nieces and nephews if they wanted anything. Shalyn made a list.
On her list was:
A laptop
A music player with a microphone (couldn't spell karaoke machine I think)
An Ipod (because Brittany has one?)
and then apparently no one could make out the rest.
Of course my mom had to explain to her that my dad meant Souvenirs. That girl really wants a laptop. She has wanted one since she was about four. I think it is my fault. I would always allow her to play games on mine when I would visit. Silly girl.
Josh is off bowling. It is a work team building outing or something. I just finished mowing all of our freaking lawn, did the dishes, shopped for groceries, balanced the checkbook and now I think I should probably eat. My only problem is that I am too damn tired to make anything. It is moments like this that I wish I ate things like pop-tarts. Even opening the package would be too much. Why did we buy a house on a hill? Ugh.
Could someone please tell me why my cat has started licking the curtains? No, really. She started it yesterday and is doing it on both sides of the curtain. I know they are named mocha-praline, but that doesn't mean they are meant to be licked or eaten.
Yeah. I'm going to feed her and hope that maybe she will stop doing it. It is getting a little too weird.
Two of the three programs are done. My partner and I have to attempt to break what I wrote for one of the programs, but so far it seems to work. I just have one issue that needs to be checked and I will do that by talking to the class TA. I hope I don't need to make any changes, but we'll see.
The networking program is done, compiled and submitted. This was a rather flaky assignment and honestly I'm not sure what I will get on it. We hardly touched on the topic and anything I needed to know had to come from me consulting the internet. But, it is over and we'll see what happens.
I actually have seven days until my next program is due. Not sure how that happened, but I am happy to have that much time. I'm aiming to be done Sunday afternoon/evening. I want to do some yard work and perhaps clean up the house a little. There are papers everywhere.
/does a little dance
I think I may have finished my program for networking. It is an implementation of a distance vector routing protocol. I had previously hard coded the router table information into my program for testing purposes and was having a difficult time getting my program to read in the values correctly. Come to find out, I hadn't commented out a line like I thought I did and it kept writing over the proper data. Doh.
I am just assuming it is correct. We haven't actually gone over any of the stuff, so who the heck knows. It had to be written in C, so that was a bit of a throwback. I haven't written anything in C in over a year. I had to reference books often. I kept writing Java commands that meant errors when I tried to compile which meant I had to rewrite what I was trying to do. It was like I wrote complex-pseudo code.
So, I am ahead of my self imposed deadline and now I have to work on the other project with my partner. That program is due Friday. The networking program is due Thursday. The next program is due Wednesday, but I am aiming for a self imposed deadline of Monday night. Possibly. It all depends on how burned out I am.
Wow, I just sneezed and it echoed down the hall and into the atrium. It was a rather strange sound.
It's not my fault, it's not my fault. Oh joy! For once, something acting up in my program isn't my fault. I am trying to compile my networking assignment and the damn thing keeps giving me an error. Come to find out, the file we have to run (which calls our subs) doesn't compile. I fixed it, and it compiles, but I need to ask the instructor about it Tuesday.
Ugh.
I'm dealing well with a lot of school related stress. I have three programming assignments due within the next week. One is for my networking class and two are for my CS class. My last CS one took forever. I'm thankful I have access to a large library of technical books to help. I wrote the program three different ways and with the third one, I had almost everything working before submitting. The cat getting hurt put a damper on the finishing of it. I slapped a comment in my code about the cat, but I dont' expect any sympathy points. I wasn't looking for it when I did it. It was more of a note to myself to remind me that I have to work on these programs earlier incase something comes up again.
I honestly don't know how this latest program will go for my CS class. My networking program is worth almost the same as an exam grade, so the pressure is on to do well on the networking one. At the same time, I really want to do well in CS. I can program and I hate that I get frustrated with myself and that in turn hinders my programming.
I am pacing myself and going to my parent's tomorrow for father's day will probably help. I hope it does. After graduation *knock on wood*, I need a vacation! A long vacation.
OK, So apparently during my last updates, windows firewall turned itself on. Booo. I disabled that to see if that was causing the problem and so far things are OK. I'm composing this entry in Firefox right now and it seems to be going far smoother than my previous entry.
I have class in about 30 minutes, so I will be logging off soon. I had fully intended on working on my networking program, but my technical difficulties would have impeded any work I was trying to get done, so it moved higher on the list of things to get done than writing the actual program.
Well, things seem much improved. A lot of my system slow downs were internet related, so that is what made me think of the firewall being an issue. I am still seeing some issues, but I wonder if a reboot might help too. We'll see after I make this post.
I'm doing some testing on Firefox. I love Firefox, but lately it has been a pain in my arse. It has always been a resource hog, but lately it has gotten insane. I've disabled all of my add-ons and switched compatibility to Win2k. That seems to have helped, but I miss having my add-ons. It was getting extremely frustrating. It got so frustrating that I downloaded Safari, using windows IE. I'm using Firefox now, but it is still being a pain in the arse. I need to load my bookmarks into safari, and I will use that until I figure out what is going on with Firefox.
There are two German CS professors here. One is older and the other is about my age. The two have known each other since the younger was a little boy. I think the older is the younger's mentor. I'm just guessing. Anyhow, older professor got a hair-cut and it makes him look at least ten years younger. I just had to mention that. It made such a drastic difference in his appearance.
A few pictures for everyone...
Space Shuttle Atlantis launch from my house...
Atlantis drops its boosters...
And finally, the cat was bad, so I put a linen napkin on her. Then I found a binder clip. This is the result...
It is with great sadness that I report the death of Mr. Wizard. Most children growing up prior to the nineties will know this wonderful man. Please think of him the next time a little science comes about in your daily life. Mr. Wizard was the man.
From the LA Times...
"Don Herbert, who explained the wonderful world of science to young baby boomers on television in the 1950s and '60s as "Mr Wizard" and did the same for a later generation of youngsters on the Nickelodeon cable TV channel in the 1980s, died today. He was 89.
Herbert died at his home in Bell Canyon after a long battle with multiple myeloma, said Tom Nikosey, Herbert's son-in-law.
A 1940 graduate of LaCrosse State Teachers College who served as an Army Air Forces pilot during World War II, Herbert worked as an actor and model before launching his weekly science show on NBC in 1951. Broadcast live from Chicago the first three years and then from New York, "Watch Mr. Wizard" ran for 14 years.
The show won a Peabody Award, three Thomas Alva Edison Awards, four Ohio State University awards and two Emmy nominations."
I'm listening to a mix of music right now and I have the Gladiator score and the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl score in the mix. I thought I noticed it when I first saw Pirates, but now I know that there is a distinct similarity between "Barbarian Horde" on Gladiator and "To the Pirates' Cave!" on the POC score. Actually there are portions that are exactly the same. Hans Zimmer did Gladiator, but Klaus Badelt did the POC score (Hans Zimmer did POC: Dead Man's Chest though). Interesting.
It is 8:40am right now. So far my morning has consisted of:
The cat, apparently feeling a lot better, has decided she can jump everywhere again. Bad kitty.
On my way to campus I passed a bear cub. It was killed by a car. I wanted to cry. It had to be less than six months. I just worry where mom is.
My blood sugar level is low, especially for having just eaten. Not good, but I keep a box of raisins for just this reason. It is going to be a long day on campus. I'll manage.
I just ordered my cap and gown. I don't want to walk, but those I love want me to, so I will. Especially now that I have spent as much as I have. I haven't ordered announcements. I'm just not sure if I want to. Do I really have that many people to send them to? The girl in the bookstore said, "No, you send them out to let people know that you've graduated and get money."
Oh dear. I wish that was the case sweetheart. I wish someone would bestow funds upon me for this milestone in my life, but my parents spent enough during the first portion of my educational advancement. However, my mom did say I can have $10 for graduating. My nephew wanted to know if he was getting $10 for graduating (to the next grade), aka for his report card, so I asked my mom if I get $10 for graduating. She laughed and said yes. Sweet. I can by a quarter tank of gas!
I'm making progress on my program. It sort of works. I just have to sit and figure out why it is doing what it is doing.
The cat is making progress. It appears to be a sprain. It is also not her previously injured foot either. She's been in her bed most of the day until she escaped the room I was keeping her in. That's when I noticed she was getting better. I think she'll be off her feet for a few more days, but she will be better.
OK, back to the program. I can do this.
Oh... and I didn't fail my exam. I scored poorly, but I got above the C cutoff line. Pheew.
My little girl is hurt. She's limping around on her paw. She jumped down from Josh's desk to the chair and then to the floor and ran off limping. I'm not sure when exactly she hurt it, but she hurts. It makes me extremely sad and worried. I locked her in the bedroom. I put her litterbox, food and a couple of extra blankets in the room with her. I should be home early today so I can check on her, but I am going to be worried until I get home.
I'm also worried we will have to take her to the vet tomorrow (you may recall that she is a holy terror at the vets office). She hurt her paw when she was a kitten and her previous vet said that there wasn't anything that could be done. She's ten now (tomorrow actually), and I'm worried that with her age it is something serious. We'll find out today or tomorrow.
To my husband...
Olive Juice.
I've put in the mother of all study movies... The Day After Tomorrow. Yes, I'm in serious mode. I'm ready to freak out. Ahhhhhhh.
I got the grade for my first programming assignment. I got a 99/100. I got a point off for my analysis. I didn't explain it correctly. Oh well. Of course that makes me feel more pressure to get this one*. I'm completely stuck. My google-fu is weak this week. Wah!
Did I mention that I feel ill and tomorrow is my anniversary? I think Josh and I will have to celebrate Thursday, after my networking exam.
*I think I royaly failed the exam, so there is a ton of pressure to get good grades on everything from this point on.
My current programming assignment is kicking my butt. It isn't that it is overly complex. It is that I made it overly complex. Now that I have reread the assignment, I am hoping that I can do this easier than I was. It is due tomorrow, just before midnight. I have high hopes that I can get it done tonight. Tomorrow is Josh and my anniversary, so I would prefer to not be working on it tomorrow evening. I already have homework that is due for my Tuesday afternoon class. I haven't even started that. Things have been too busy.
Yesterday evening the power went out to the entire neighborhood. It is funny how little things like loss of electricity will cause the neighborhood to exit their homes and congregate on the sidewalks. Yep. We didn't talk to any of our neighbors, but we all knew. Josh and I drove off and discovered it was a fairly good chunk of the neighborhood that was without power. Thankfully it came back within about two hours. We still don't know what happened.
In the midst of the electricity going out, Josh was brewing beer. Thankfully he was able to complete the brewing, but had the power been out for much longer, the entire batch he had started would have been a waste. I know there are some of you breathing a sigh of relief at that news.
Still no pictures of the emoticon bites. There wasn't enough light to get pictures after the lights went out. Sorry folks.
The kitty PopTart weaning is going well. She was getting 1:1 (Friskies to good stuff), but last night and this morning she got about 1:3. I'm hoping for at least 1:4 tonight. I'm crossing my fingers.
Well, off to study for tomorrow's exam before I go into my lab. I'm installing Apache on a Unix machine. Yes, I rolled my eyes when I read the lab sheet.
OK, I'm taking a break from studying and school to make a comment about something that has been bothering me for quite some time.
I really would like people to start wearing clothes that fit properly. I have seen far too many people wearing shorts and pants that are way to small. I don't mean they are just too short, I mean they are not the proper sized waist and leg. This of course goes along with the too tight or too short t-shirt. I have witnessed one too many of these errors in fashion. It really just doesn't look good. That's great that you feel confident enough in your body that you want to wear them. However, it shows a serious lack of judgment and respect that you would wear these types of ensembles. I am of course speaking about self respect. Proper fitting clothes tend to give the appearance of self respect.
Maybe I am a little too conservative in the work clothes sense, I don't know. I get pissed when people wear sandals or open toed shoes to work. It is silly, but I am always reminded of the accidents that can occur on the job site and having feet so exposed is just asking for trouble.
I went to the store on my way home from class. I picked up spring water for Josh to use for brewing and I picked up some Poptarts for the cat. OK, so they aren't really PopTarts, but they are the equivalent. She would not eat the stuff that is good for her, so this morning I finally caved in and mixed the Friskies and the good stuff. She licked the plate clean. I'm going to slowly shift the mixture. Hopefully I can wean her off in about a week.
I may be avoiding the internet for a while. I have an exam on Wednesday and I really need to be studying for it. I feel uncomfortable about the math involved. We get two cheat sheets though. Two sheets of paper each front and back, with whatever we want on them. As per the usual, they probably won't do much in the way of helping, but I guess it is like a security blanket.
Oh, in regards to the program I have to write. I think I am making it harder than it needs to be. I'm not going to look at it until Wednesday afternoon or Thursday. It depends on whether I have homework in my networking class.
Well, I'll leave you with one last thought. I believe bugs are getting smarter and possibly fluent in the use of emoticons. Why? Because I discovered a whole group of bites on my side. Want to know what they looked like? ( : I have a series of bites in the shape of a sideways smiley face! Crazy. I may try to get a picture, but every time I see it, I think of the itching which then leads to actual itching!
I'm procrastinating, but I shouldn't be. I went shopping and bought a new cd stand. It is small, but it holds all of the cds we have. I'm so busy with school and Josh is so busy with work that building the large cabinet that we have planned is on hold for quite some time.
I have to write a program for distance vector routing and also a program that I believe is supposed to be using a tries, but I'm not clear. A large number of students were caught cheating in last semester's class and now this semester is feeling the wrath. I understand the project specs, but I am just avoiding it.
The cat is boycotting the food we are giving her. We put her back on her holistic food. We ran out and my car battery died before I could get her some more. So, I did the unthinkable. I gave her Friskies that we picked up at the grocery store. Josh calls it her PopTarts. So now she is avoiding her Salmon and Trout in favor of chicken in gravy. Weirdo. I managed to get her to eat something by locking her in a room with me and just let her cry and fuss until she gave up and ate it. She's still resisting it, but she'll eat when she is hungry.
I'm watching the rain wait for the Autism Speaks 400 Nascar Race. I've never really listened to Elliot Sadler until today. He still has that southern Virginia accent.
Oh, here comes the cat. She's pawing at me for food. This is too pathetic. She needs a kitten.
As I just mentioned. I watched a few Depeche Mode videos on Joost. I watched the video for Behind the Wheel and then when I saw the video for Only When I Lose Myself I realized something. Martin Gore, Dave Gahan and Andy Fletcher have aged well. They could be like so many other musicians and look horrible after twenty-eight years, but they don't. Do they have a good cream or what?
Wow.. uh, I was three when Depeche Mode first formed. Funny thing is, I remember listening to them as a child. More specifically, Just Can't Get Enough. Holy carp do I feel old.
OK, I joined, downloaded and installed Joost this morning. I installed it on my desktop, but it didn't work so well. I have always had issues with playing videos on that computer. So, I installed it on my laptop. It is running beautifully.
I'm on campus now and I have been running it for about an hour. So far I have watched a couple of Depeche Mode videos, a bit of Transformers: Armada, part of the pilot episode of Starsky and Hutch (They are full shows, but I wanted to see what else was on) and now I am watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The video quality is great. I ran it for a little while at home and the quality was just as good there.
It doesn't have much in the way of current content, but I think that will probably change over time. They have chat features, but I honestly don't see myself using that. There are little snippets of commercials (longest one yet has been about four seconds) at the end of the episodes, but they are over before you realize they started.
I don't think it will replace things like P2P TV Streaming until they are able to do full movies or current content.
Anyhow, if anyone wants an invite to the beta, comment or email me.
