Football and Finals

This coming week is dead week. Usually this means we’re in for a “no homework, no tests, study week.” But since I’ve started my 400-level CS classes, it actually means “Holy shit! This project is due in less than a week!” I’m sure you can imagine what the difference. At present we’re making very good progress on our program ‘QuickPoint’ which is essentially a PowerPoint presentation manager. Good for people/companies with a lot of powerpoint slides and presentations. You can mix and match slides in presentations, edit them, search all the slides, etc… pretty neat stuff, but it’d be neater if we weren’t on a deadline.

I’ll probably spend most of today at Nathan’s working on the project, if something miraculous happens, maybe we’ll finish the code today. But we won’t be done, oh no, we’ll still have models and documentation to do. Damnit.

Then, of course, we have the Football Blog that’s in the design and development phase. Me and five other folks (Dan, Kevin, Todd, Bobby, and Matt) are getting ready to be hardcore football fans and post all the information that’s fit to print once we get the site all up and running. If it goes well, maybe College Basketball is next in line? Or maybe the National Women’s Jell-o Wrestling League?

I’ve also been passing emails back and forth with my summer roommate. Seems like a nice guy, so we should get along well since I’m such a nice guy (shut up). Further my housing arrangement for next year may have changed, but I’ll post more on that when I’ve got it.

Here’s something you should ALL be aware of, The Matrix sequel The Matrix Reloaded is due to be shown in IMAX theatres. This is really, really cool. It’ll be running at IMAX theatres two-ish weeks after the May 15th release date. I’m very excited about this and already have plans to go check it out in Chicago.

Finally, a little wisdom about wolves from last night’s dream:
“If a wolf climbs up a ladder to get into your room, no big deal, just kick it in the face and make it fall. If it comes in through the door, though, you’re pretty much screwed.”
