Circles and Lines

It seems that the class I'm taking isn't going to be as horrid as I originally thought. Jury's still out on the programming part of it, since I'm a horrid coder, but what we're doing now is kind of fun, in a masochistic sort of way.

Babbling about Theoretical CS Stuff )

Wow...I'm more interested in this stuff than I thought. The thing about the class that sucks, and continues to suck, is the 14 (16, if you count the commute) hour days, two days a week - an hour drive, twelve hours of work, two hours of class, and another hour back home. I could theoretically sleep in later on class days, but I find it...difficult to actually sleep in on a day I work. Too set in my ways, I guess.

[EDIT] Waugh!!!! It's t3h 3v1l 0n3 himself! This man gave me nightmares in binary, and almost a nervous breakdown doing CDL (Computer Design Language) coding. CDL coding is the scariest thing ever. Makes machine code seem high-level.

They're Coming for Us!

Why are we taking pictures of random rocks when there are much cooler things to be taking better pictures of? I want to know what that thing is! (Chances are, it's a piece of the rover, or of the airbag, or just a funky rock, but it's still cool looking)

Aha!

No wonder I always seem to get lightning-fast service when I call my insurance company! And I thought it had something to do with all those times I threatened to report them to the Virginia Bureau of Insurance...

At last! A practical use for all that anger!
