Cabbages and Kings

Class class class class class...

I am super busy.

I love database <3

C is alright, I guess... Doing what I can to transition into a TA position next semester. It breaks my heart to see people dropping out of CS because of C. It's like people refusing to travel because airport security is a hassle.

Interview for a summer internship tomorrow with a company I would LOVE to work with. Love Love Love.

I want to get involved with an open source project. I need to hone my java. I hope to combine the two.

Reading currently Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship and loving it. Inspiring my open source dreams. Code is Beautiful.


Moving to NZ after college?

I Love Papervision.

Papervision is a set of ActionScript classes dealing with 3D rendering. Not having any prior experience in 3D or any other tools - Maya, etc - that is really as much detail as I can describe it with.

But basically, it will take your 2D ActionScript stage with an x and a y axis and add an additional z axis:

This has fantastic implications for all kinds of super cool and neat display capabilities, in addition to allowing for the development of an interactive 3D space. I've been working through it thanks to the fantastic publication Papervision3D Essentials and I have to say it's super cool. Expect more from this front soon.
