I have a bunch of angst I want to write, but I’ll spare you. If you’re really all that interested, you can ask, but I won’t promise I’ll tell.

I finished my web apps homework today in about 4 hours. We had to write an online dating service program that users could create accounts for and use to search the userbase for people matching their criterion, implementing sessions and authentication and all that good stuff. It was fairly easy, given I’ve done a lot of php before (even though this was written in Java as a servlet). So yar.

My partner (Mike) and I are done (pretty much) with our networks project 1. We had to write an SMTP client that would send email using the SMTP protocol. It was easy enough… the hardest part was implementing DNS lookup for MX records due to horrific documentation on the resolver() set of functions. Meh.

So yeah, between those two classes, my life is full of coding, and it’s making me feel happy (….somewhat).
Code is so straightforward… so precise… unlike pretty much everything else in my life right now. Which is to say that nothing in my life is going right at the moment, except for my CS courses.
Meh.

I bought a ton of legal MP3s last night from MP3 Tunes and eMusic. I paid something like $10 and was able to get 4 complete albums (thanks to the free trial downloads thing from eMusic). The best part is that the artists get the large majority of the purchase price, unlike with other methods with the large record companies. Meh. DRM is stupid as hell… buy your music from these sites instead. Whee, I’m starting to sound like Zeke.
Yay for Adam Pascal, Christopher Jak, and Groove Coverage being on independent labels who aren’t assholes with their heads up their butts trying to scam the artists and, to use Zeke’s words, biting the hands that feed them.

Um… yeah.
I don’t want to post pictures at the moment, because thinking about photography right now is making me feel shitty. It’ll probably be a while before I voluntarily pick up a camera again (not counting class assignments, obviously).

Ben is teh awesomely awesome. I have amazing friends… I’m so lucky…
