(Untitled)
First hard exam filled week of the semester has come and gone. Thank god all of it is over, the exams the stress and what not. After that the semester always feels settled into as if nothing too terrible is on the horizon for the future. Exams were challenging as always but not so terrible as to make you step up your game for classes, sometimes ( Read more... ) -
...if I only i had thought of something charming to say
Back to another semester of school work. These first days are always a mix of awkward and really rewarding. Christmas break always ends up feeling too long and by the end of it I just have an overwhelming desire to get back and into the "swing of things." The problem right now is that over break I am in the swing of nothing, sleeping too long and ( Read more... ) -
The Ease of Failure
Recently had a conversation with a friend from school about the ease of failure. It's an odd concept when you consider it. I often feel bad for people for not "reaching their potential", he a younger person pointed out the problem that comes with getting to close to many people and the problems that can cause. I do not think that it is ( Read more... ) -
openSUSE
Playing with openSUSE today on the Lenovo X220. Really enjoying it so far, still running it off USB drive for a while. Don't want to get rid of Arch as the main OS yet, but 12.1 openSUSE does well. It was one of the first distros that I ran with a laptop that hasn't had any issues with webcams, wifi, and other usual hangups when it comes to ( Read more... ) -

webOS open source!
I am really excited about webOS becoming open source. It's time like these that I really wish I could program or do some coding work to make it useful on a variety of hardware solutions. It is too bad that some operating systems just aren't given a better chance. To quickly are companies deciding on an operating system based on profitiability ( Read more... ) -
Semester's End
I never really get what is going on with the end of semester. Thanksgiving break is really screwy in that we come back and have just one week of classes before exams start. You really cannot learn anything new as it takes at least a class period to get back into the habit of studying and reviewing the last topics you touched on the week before. ( Read more... ) -
And we're back
After a good six days at home, back in Virginia for all sorts of fun, not really though. There is just over a week of classes left then two reading days and exam period begins. I should map out my actual exam schedule, something I never do until exams are right on top of me and I have to study or prepare to grade during that period, both of which ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving
So excited for Thanksgiving coming up. Not that this semester has not been great, but as it is winding down, I am really excited to visit with friends and family. It will be nice to have a couple of home cooked meals as well as some fun dinners out. Definitely looking forward to a good sandwich from J's Deli and one from Kay's as well. It will ( Read more... )
