It seems that I haven't posted since the end of June. Rest assured that I am still alive and have no fallen of the face of the Internet.

Summer term is over, and with it the end of near-nightly cooking experiments. There's nothing really now stopping me, but lack of audience and time.

I'm now living in the same building as infohigh, who has moved down ( Read more... )

For the first time in about 10 years, I had a passion fruit. It tasted just as good as I remembered. Pity the insides look like mucus ( Read more... )

Things that happened in the last month:

• Got a new TV
• Kyle got Mario Kart: Double Dash
• m2arnold got hooked on Double Dash
• Borrowed DDR Extreme 2. Kyle gets testy if he can't get his daily fix. I slowly improve my DDR skills
• Hooked up Kyle's old computer to the TV. Wrote a simple web server to control what's playing on the TV remotely.

Internet got hooked up much quicker than expected (I made the phone call this morning), which led to an evening of cooking and catching up on the internet. While I had 'net access at work, reading webcomics is not a productive use of time ( Read more... )

I'm still alive, or so my pulse tells me. School was hectic, but it's over for the summer now. I'm going back to work for Open Text next week, but have this week to kill ( Read more... )

Most of the last few weeks have been taken up by schoolwork. I went to several talks - Larry Smith's talk on creating killer apps, Eric Laforest's talk on 2nd generation stack architectures, the Google presentation, and the Short Attention Span Math Seminars put on by the {Pure Math, Applied Math, Combinatorics and Optimization} Club ( Read more... )

A while ago, Caelyn, Mr Belanger and I tried to think of a word to describe the state in solving an assignment question where you're pretty sure you know how to prove it, but haven't written anything up yet. The best and most accurate thing we could come up with was "deluded". Well, right now I'm deluding myself as to the completeness of half the ( Read more... )

With only one class today, and it being at 8:30, I decided to take today off. I managed to catch my landlord as he was going around putting notices on people's doors informing them of his new phone number, and managed to get him to replace my fire alarm. Hopefully now it won't be going off in the wee hours of the morning ( Read more... )

Snow day today, which mean that the university was closed. I didn't find the weather terribly treacherous, although it might have been different had I been driving. Although it was nice to have a day off of sorts, I wish I'd known before I got up for my 8:30 class. Also, I was looking forward to today's midterm, just so that I'd have it over with.

The Real2 midterm is over, and went than I was dreading. There were a couple of questions I found tricky, but it seems that I wasn't alone. Now there's just two more midterms this week: Groups tomorrow, and CS365 on Thursday. Then I have a brief chance to relax before my OS midterm next week ( Read more... )
