So I actually started going through my files and deleting some of them to get rid of the crap. It's going to take a while but I should have a good share of them done this week. Then I can spend less time and media backing them up. I talked about writing a guide to programming or guidelines to being a computer scientist. I'm still not sure what it is going to turn out to be. It's coming, but I haven't had the inclination to sit down and write it. I've still got 3 homework assignments due next week, so I feel that I should get those done first. Firefox 2.0 was accidentally released yesterday. I guess Mozilla removed the linked folder from their public ftp until they are ready to release it "officially". Blizzard's WoW Expansion: BC had it's release date pushed back to January 2007. It was supposed to be released at the end of November, but I guess they decided that they didn't have enough time to polish it. I'm just glad that they didn't pull an SOE and release broken content so that they could get it out the door faster. I started watching Battlestar Galactica season 3 last night. I actually started with the webisodes. There were 10 of them and they were about 2.5 mins a piece. Kinda interesting idea to put those out there. They didn't really have any major storyline content, but they added some of that filler that you miss out on when you have to focus on all of the main story elements. Is it me or are headlines hard to come up with most of the time? For me (at least) either I have that "Aha" moment or I can't find anything that I like. A few days ago Plink asked me to give him some ideas for a headline for a story he wrote for his website. He'd been trying to think of one for a while, but couldn't come up with anything. So he asks me and on my second guess I give him the perfect one (almost perfect). The headline for this post is one of those I couldn't come up with anything, can you tell?

Yeah so here it goes. I hope you're happy Pinkert. In my last post I said that I would be using this blog more for technical stuff, and I plan to. The next entry I write will be a guide of a sort to being a programmer/computer science geek. This isn't going to be an absolute guide or "the guide" but one from my point of view. So on to this post. Tech things... hmm...Well as for work (at school) I should be wrapping up my current project today or tomorrow. I have a list of the final bugs to work out. Then I just need to do a test on it and hopfully I can get that done when Nate comes in at 3. The only thing that bothers me is that if the teacher has some long comments about the student that particular cell gets stretched out and makes the table look bad. Unless somebody wants it changed I'm going to leave it that way anyway. I need to start clearing out my data harddrive at home. I've managed to fill 300gigs with mostly TV shows and movies. So maybe I can spend some time this week burning those to DVDs and freeing up some room. Then I'll be ready to reformat my main pc this weekend. On October 26th Ubuntu is releasing a new version (6.10), and I plan to make my main pc a dual boot WinXP/Ubuntu. This way I can keep my WinXP partition for all my gaming needs and what ever Visual Studio .NET projects that school requires me to do (or maybe a project in my free time). Then the Ubuntu partition will be used for all my interweb surfing, email, bittorrent, and development needs. Of course this means that I'll just end up goofing off and playing warcraft all week instead.

I've decided to use this for something. I figure that I need a place to talk about the more technical stuff going on in my life. So I figure that I'll use this blog to talk about it. Things that will end up in here is going to be mostly programming and computer tech stuff. Like my projects at work, or class assignments. Also whatever projects I'm working on in my free time. I'll try to post the first one once I get back from class... I guess I should get back to work.
