I’ve accomplished a fair number of items this week, and so I bring them here to you.
Our team for CSCD340 (Operating Systems) has finished our memory paging simulator (written in Python), and we are now in the process of running 6 tests on it. The tests include simulating the following:
Consecutive data, worst efficiency algorithm
Consecutive data, [...]
During what I would usually consider a very dry class the other day, I had a satisfying realization. A discussion was taking place about what motivations students had for completing a college degree, and one student piped up and said “If I could just get the piece of paper (degree) and make a lot of [...]
It’s been a little while since I last wrote a post of substance; that is to say one that was more than just brief tidbits or musings. I’ll bring all 2 of you that read this blog up to speed.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately, which has a lot to do with this [...]
It’s kind of a shotgun approach to a title, but the title fits the blog post content well.
Today I received confirmation that I’ll be doing an internship for a local Spokane company. As an part-time intern, I will be learning ASP.NET, which is really nice. ASP.NET will round out start some of my Microsoft programming [...]
I recently reflected several differences in my knowledge:
My desire to know everything about computers, networks, and security, and what I actually know
In that context, what X is needed to know before learning Y
I want to know all there is to know in these areas, and in thinking about this desire, I realize that there are [...]
So let me tell you a little story about phpBB.
Tonight I spent about 7 hours dissecting a problem with phpBB. I attempted to perform some code-level modifications to the forum to allow people to view unread topics on www.EWUcs.com (you can see it now in the upper-right hand corner of the screen).
During this process I [...]
In the interest of community building, and keeping in touch, I started www.EWUcs.com for the local computer science croud. Check it out.
I finished up finals this past week, and I’m staged to take 1 course this summer on Ruby on Rails. Summer is here, though it’s certainly not shown in the weather. There are many things to look forward to, including fireworks displays on the 4th, a NIN concert, an airshow, a vacation, and my birthday. [...]
Well, I passed all the classes with flying colors, so I guess I’m completely out of touch with my capabilities.
Haven’t done much so far during spring break here, just kind of been dabbling around with some personal research and work. Learned a lot about SQL injection vulnerabilities today.
Looking forward to this weekend – supposed to [...]
Classes are over for the quarter, and I can’t really say this has been an overly interesting 2.5 months. There is a direct correlation between how much effort I put into a given class at EWU, and my interest level in the topic being taught. I placed a relatively significant amount of effort outside [...]
