cooleyb1's Journal: journey

Well, Its off to Boston again. Leaving first thing in the morning, and am only staying for the weekend. Ill ge taking my lady. We will visit with my brother and his fiance`. Hope the truck doesnt give out on me, it hasnt been there before, and I worry about it sometimes. Besides that it's clear sailing all the way. This should shape up to be a fantastic trip, i really could use the time away from school and all that jazz. I have started to feel a bit bogged down with all my bits and bytes. Recently, we began doing some number conversions between binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal, the concept is easy enough, but i just dont feel comfortable with my grasp of these things. I just started to grasp the concept of processor values like mips, and working in nanoseconds. I cant believe that all this information is put into these little boxes that my 2 year old can use. Crazy. Anyway, had my first dose of extreme programming, and i like it. Got paired with a classmate to do a small applet, nothing sophisticated, just a couple ovals and an arc loop, but boy was it fun crankin it out. I think programming is better with two heads, speeds up the issues i normally would get stuck on. I guess this school and work thing isnt so bad, i just get tired sometimes and it seems like more than i can handle. I never used to do homework, but with these classes, i need more time for it than i have available. Oh well, Im sure that everything will be just fine, it always is. Havent had much time to read on the site lately, so im not really at liberty to comment on any recent news. I suppose its time to get along with things. Till next time.

I liked memorizing my powers of 2 table

Got to where I could recite up to 2^^16 in under twelve seconds.

I guess I must have been bored. ;-)

well, I must say, very impressive, but certainly way too much free time on your hands.

Heh. :-)

Learn it once, carry it for a lifetime. Wanted to be able to impress programmer chicks. Didn't ever meet any until I was already married, though.
