Life
Wow, its been awhile since I last posted. I guess I should try to provide an overview of the past couple months:
- My MacBook Pro has been working great. I downloaded Boot Camp, and then installed Windows XP on it. I decided to buy a game, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, which is an awesome game and runs very well on my hardware. So basically, I reboot into Windows whenever I want to play games and use Mac OS X when productivity is desired.
- I visited my parents in West Virginia over Spring Break.
- In the weeks following Spring Break, I worked frantically on writing my thesis. I defended it a couple weeks ago, and I'll probably be posting the thesis in this journal sometime so that people can find it on Google.
- I had one final exam, which was on Wednesday. I'm hoping to never have to take another exam (not that the one on Wednesday was bad or anything; I'm just tired of exams).
- On Friday, I go apartment hunting in Cincinnati, where my job will be.
- On Saturday, I leave for a trip to Hawaii with my parents.
- I bought a 200 GB hard disk for backing up my files and general storage. I just purchased SuperDuper, a utility for automatic backups.
- I bought an inexpensive wireless router to use in my new apartment and a new mouse. The Apple mouse I bought from JK several years ago was not working so well any more.
- I've been doing some reading; maybe, I'll post a list of books I've read sometime.
- I judged at Miami's high school programming contest.
- I've been watching the Reds some. Another strong start, but I'm trying to constrain my optimism after previous disappointments.
