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.

It's not like I sell mice out of the back of my car or something... blame Apple for that one. All we do is push it to people who are willing to pay so much for such a crappy mouse...
Anyway, will be in town tomorrow. Seeeee ya!
