This morning I finished typing up the last of my notes. There are typos galore, including some that make them dangerous or difficult to use as study matter, but that's why I also keep my handwritten ones around for reference. Right now I just don't have time to give them a proper proof-reading. I'm also about three pages from the end, in terms of ( Read more... ) -

Last October or so, the building I live in (a giant house subdivided into individual apartments) got sold. For the last month or so, I've noticed ads for X-Flats, posted on things like bus shelters. Yesterday a big sign went up on the front lawn advertising X-Flats. It looks like the building's going to be put up where I live, and that construction ( Read more... ) -

It is 2 AM and I am finished my CS 365 assignment. This is better than I anticipated. My proof for question 2, once it came together, was particularly nice. Tomorrow Later today I just need to finish my Real2 assignment and I can start studying for next week's midterms. Going to Spronk's office hours really helped. I now have a clearer idea as to ( Read more... ) -

Instead, I worked on the design and testing docs, wrote a few test programs and occasionally tried to help squash bugs, either in my own code (mostly ( Read more... ) -

A thousand poxes on Nachos and its subtle differences between itself and POSIX! It's the little things that keep tripping me up, like different orders of arguments to syscalls. That the file id was the last rather than first argument to Write tripped me up a couple of weeks ago.
Most recently1, I implemented ExecV so that it would work fine with ( Read more... ) -

Another Saturday spent working on OS. We still need to do lots of testing and documentation, but I think all, or all but one, of the major features asked for on the assignment have been implemented. I'm just not sure if anyone's gotten around to implementing GetPriority, but it's simple to do ( Read more... ) -

For the last month or so, people have been randomly messaging me on ICQ. Most of those whose profiles I've read have not been in English. Most recently, somebody just sent me a German IM chain letter, threatening me death at the hands of a dead 7 year old girl if I didn't forward it to 15 of my friends in 10 minutes, and love if I did. I have no ( Read more... ) -
