Computer Screen and Rubberbands Thursday, November 03, 2005

I was just playing with a rubberband procrastinating on doing my physics homework, and I noticed that when you pluck a rubberband infront of a computer screen, it acts like a strobe light and you can see the waves of the rubber band. It's hard to explain, so just try it yourself when you have a lot of work do to that you reall don't want to do.

E-House Wednesday, November 02, 2005

I'm living in a Special Living Option (SLO) this year and I like it. Even though no one in any of my classes even lives anywhere near me, I like the location of it. The farthest I have to walk to class is from West Halls to Osmond. It usually takes me only like 3 minutes to get to class, compared to most freshmen's 15 walk from East. Another reason I like E-House is because I'm getting access to the engineering server so that I can take over for the webmaster of our website. Our site keeps track of a lot of stuff for the house and it's a really well developed database manager. And, I have a much better chance at getting a single room in the coming years since I'll probably stay here until I graduate.

Programming Monday, October 31, 2005

So today I finished my C++ program. Total, that game took be probably about 30 minutes. It's amazing what you can accomplish in a half hour.
