The To-Do List

Posted on by

Either things are actually due on Monday, or I’m making them so.

  • Design “Homework” for Y!: I got started today… only a couple of hours here and there. Looks like there’s quite a bit to be done.
    • Note to self: Don’t get bogged down in the details. Optimize later…
    • Goal tonight: Finish the markup, at least.
  • CVS/SVN presentation: Both from the admin and the client point of view (including Mac and PC svn clients). I’ve implemented the server before, but I’m still not 100% satisfied as to what I can actually do.
    • Note to self: Don’t get bogged down in the details. Once again… stop being so darn detail-oriented
  • Slowdown bug for Moodle upgrades: Using Xdebug to profile Moodle, and to see where the bottleneck is…
    • Possible Solution: Cache the DB if the problem is indeed MySQL.
    • Goal tonight: Continue figuring out where the bottleneck is… debugging isn’t as nearly as fun as design…
  • Attend the Webmaster Forum on Thursday: Means… I have to go back to Urbana by Wednesday night.
  • Decide who to tell about my dreams and hopes…
    • Indeed… tricky situation…

The Obligatory Daily Post

Posted on by

Let me tell you about today… I woke up. Did work. Ate Lunch. Did some more work. Went to WIMPE. Ate Dinner.

However, my daily routine changed a bit when I got to hang out with Derek, my ISR roommate from freshman year. We just ended up talking about the new CS coursework requirements and the new things in ourlives. Then we dived into Guitar Hero 2 and some co-op play of Splinter Cell, like the nerds we are.

Now, mind you… I haven’t played an FPS since… well… I guess if you count the time I randomly sat down in front of Colin Das’s computer to play CS… about two months. But it’s something about playing a game with someone… and a game that’s as good as Splinter Cell… that brings two hardcore nerds together.

Why do I write this? I realized again that I really am who I am. I am a nerd. Period. I’m probably going to enjoy some type of real-time interactive simulation until the day I die, regardless of how the older population thinks about such “frivolous” things. I also understood… how far I’ve come in not being just a nerd. I kinda fell out of the hardcore gaming life a while back… I mean, I don’t even have a Wii right now…

Currently, my TODO file is getting larger and larger. Just today, I moved all the posts from my wordpress.com account to here. I also asked Alex to install Gallery on this server. There should be some large changing coming to this blog… soon… but I’m not going to make promises like last time and look like an idiot.

Updates will come when they come.

And dizang, I’m tired. Must… wake… up… early…
