Wash, Rinse, Repeat - posted by magicite
Another summer, another failed attempt at revamping this website. I haven't even touched the design since I made it, which was Summer 2004. Next summer? Who knows. My current interests fall outside of web design, so there isn't much motivation to do it.
But yes, indeed, the summer is coming to an end. My internship is coming to a close for the summer, and classes start up on Tuesday, right after labor day and right as Hurricane Gustav pummels the southern states.
Speaking of classes, I've added another one for the fall. I forget its name at the moment, but it's outside of the CS department and will help fulfill my PhD and Masters requirements. More on that in a few months...
The other day, I started making onigiri. They're quite yummy and portable. These will serve as excellent snacks this fall, especially when slogging through my Tuesdays and Thursdays, where I will be busy with U stuff from ~9:30am until ~10:20pm. Man, Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be terrible this semester...
...or will they be? My spring workload was rather taxing, but that was because parallel and algorithms were both very highly demanding classes. That's not to say that the current batch of classes aren't demanding--they are--but I think the nature of the previous classes was a bit more taxing than the new crop. Namely, both parallel and algorithms were theory classes, and none of my new classes are really theory driven (according to the department).
I've been watching lots of Kurosawa films recently. Lots and lots--he put out sooo many (good) films. It will be nice to have some non-Kurosawa films soon though.
The RNC will occur in St. Paul this year (unless ol' Gustav messes things up). I sense that the twin cities will be a zoo for the next few days...
I bought a clapper. Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.
