Just a quick post while I sit around in my bleary, early morning stupor. I don't know if any of you read vgcats, but the writer and artist is going to be in Waterloo right after (or maybe during for some) final exams. He'll be at Gemini Jetpack on December 17th.

The more interesting thing is that Gemini Jetpack is accepting donations for Child's Play, which is a fantastic charity run by the guys from Penny Arcade. Basically, any money donated goes towards buying toys and video games for children that are going to be in hospitals over Christmas. If anyone's thinking of donating money to a charity this Christmas, I can't think of a better candidate.

Deck the halls!

Well, I just finished question 3 for the 245 assignment (theoretically at least), and I felt happy enough that I snapped a quick picture. If you're in the course, this might make you tear up a little. If you're already done the course, you should be nodding in recognition. And if you haven't taken CS 245 yet? Here's a taste:


Oh the horror!

I'm a Doctor, Jim, not a bricklayer!

Yes, I know that I don't post very often during school terms. That's because everyone who reads this on a regular basis goes to school with me. I'll post more after classes are over (and if Jarrett's really nice to me I'll post while he lives in that god-forsaken Nazi hell hole).

This weekend has been a good one overall. Nothing major happened, but everything that did happen was good. On top of that, I got what I would call very good starts on my Stat 231 and CS 245 assignments. Now I just need to pair those with very good endings, and I'll be able to make it to finals relatively unscathed.

I've been trying to clean up my desktop yesterday and today, as well as override Windows XP's default style to add a nicer looking one. I have no idea if you'll be able to see this when the picture's been shrunk, but I'm happy with the result:





















Now Jarrett just needs to come through with that promised full version of StyleXP.

I've already gotten two comments on the fact that I have a personal message attached to my MSN account for basically the first time ever. I'm just trying to be emo and fit in. Pretty soon I'm going to be changing it to cryptic things like "I hate how much I depend on him" and "Why doesn't anybody care?". Or maybe "My acoustic guitar sounds much better when played in the rain." Whatever.

Actually, I'm going to change it to that right now.

There we go.

I think one of the reasons I don't post often is that my posts tend to be a little all over the place and spastic. If anyone has any ideas for something I can wittily comment on, let me know.

I'm playing my song in the key of WHY DOES NOBODY CARE.
