I’m in the building (Wean Hall) next to where the bomb is supposed to be.
Hmmm….
This is strangely amusing.
That would explain the helicopter hovering over campus, anyway.

Shooting at downtown Pittsburgh this morning, shooting at VA Tech this Monday…
…
What is this world coming to?

Also, oh god, I can’t even imagine…

Edit: Apparently it was just a suspicious liquid. Blah.

Edit edit: Not a bomb

Life’s been good, even if I am a little out of it right now and tired and wanting sleep but having a bit of homework to finish up for tomorrow first.

Booth has been happening in preparation for Carnival this upcoming weekend. Alas, I don’t have a group to build booth for this year (KGB isn’t doing one)… but perhaps this is for the best as I have way too much work that needs to be done.

Last night was a fun pizza and games party with Tim, Keith, Mars, and Greg. Yay for yummy pizza and the company of awesome friends!

CMU Adventures has had a bit more content added (three more monsters and a few more items in Wean 4). Check if out if you have a chance. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Yeeeah, I have more I want to write, but my eyes are starting to shut and have trouble focusing on the screen, so I should probably finish up this presentation and then shower and sleep.
Life is awesome and happy and good :)

Well then, that was certainly unexpected.
Amazingly happy and awesome and pleasant, but unexpected.
So yeah… I guess that means I’m not single.

I had an interview on Friday that I kinda sucked at. I have another interview tomorrow morning, which probably means I should sleep soon. Meh.

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures lately, but I’m in the cluster right now and so can’t post them.
Expect some in the next entry.
Boo at good weather making it hard to do work.

The past two days have been full of awesome and fun.

Felt sorta sick yesterday, so I went to bed early the night before (around 8 PM) and slept until around 3 after getting up for lunch. The weather was amazing, so I pulled a ghannema and Jordan to go walking to Squill for pie ingredients (more details later). We took a roundabout back way to enjoy the weather, and met up with jgrafton and matthewj by Phipps. Took a bunch of long detours, played on a playground, and generally had an amazing time. Had yummy dinner at a kosher deli and then went geagling. Afterward was games and coffee/tea at Kiva Han followed by super secret fun that certainly didn’t involve going places on campus with rlambert and Ben.

Woke up today to klipper’s offer to drive me to Monroeville mall. Tagged along with him and Grant, and had a good time just walking around and playing DDR eXtreme at the arcade there. Didn’t buy anything, but meh.
Then, tonight was the pi day party (March 14!) hosted by ghannema and rlambert. There were 5 dessert pies: two kinds of apple, homemade peach, peach/cherry/apricot, and chocolate pudding. There was also amazing spinach cheese pie and steak pot pie. So much yummy pie, so much good company….
I haven’t been this happy in a long time.
:D

This past week has been the busiest ever in my 3-years thus far at CMU. The bulk of it has been my networks project 2. Including the night I spent coding until 10 AM (from around 4 PM the previous day, with a couple hours of photography and other stuff around 10 PM), my partner and I have probably put in well over 30 hours of coding for this assignment. The best part? It’s still not done. I’m going to wake up early tomorrow and to my best to get it working completely (which may or may not happen) and use a late day.
Wheee.
So yeah, I’ve basically been doing nothing but coding today since 9 AM, which seems to have been the story of my life for the past 3 days (wake up, go to class, code until dinner, go to eat, code until bedtime, repeat).
For networks, I more or less rewrote the entire routing daemon from scratch, because it was the preferable alternative to trying to restructure our existing code to be more correct.
For web apps, did a little bit more with CMU Adventures… mostly backend work.

Apparently, my webhost upgraded PHP or changed around some settings today, because I came home to find my site completely broken. Keep in mind that most of my site was written by me back when I was teaching myself PHP (with some tips from B’man), and so was written before I knew about the $_POST, $_GET, and $_REQUEST variables. My host had previously had these arrays set to be automatically exposed, and all of my code was written for that. They switched it on me today, and so I had to go in and fix almost every script on my site (many probably still don’t work). Whee.

Besides that, there was a “ZMONGZ SPRING BREAK!” party with Tim/Tim/Apphia/Ian/Mars/Dan/Keith tonight. There was ice cream and games and it was awesome and happy.

Been spending a lot of time in the darkroom lately, developing film and printing. I’ve mostly been doing photography for myself lately, more than for class (because god knows I’m sure as hell not enjoying the class). I eventually want to assemble a book of cluster photographs, starting with my final project for color photo last year (which you can see in art), and adding in more of my work from this year (mostly black and white film, but a couple digitals).

This is the first picture I have of everyone in “The group”… and I had to be blah and stand in front of Mars and Dan.
Meh.
Whatever.

Um yeah.
Oh god busy week :(
At least it’s almost over. One more day of coding and then I’m free…
…
Free to start… coding… other… things…
…
But meh, I want to code my webapps project, so that’s a good thing.
