Planet SoC

Well, contrary to how my current weekly post-count must look, I am still alive. Where I last left off I had just finished up the official part of my work on thousand parsec. Since then I travelled a few times, to a family member’s cabin in Gimli, MB, and into Winnipeg while my wife did some professional development for work. All the while I was gaming to my hearts content; In my time I played Patapon, Lumines, Geometries Wars 2, Fable (in anticipation of Fable 2), and am presently playing Castle Crashers (which I’m surprised my sister actually enjoys playing with me). In addition I’ve begun extended support and polishing off TP-risk, particularly some bug fixes, and planning on a substantial fork to work out what I would call unresolvable issues.
Today I wrapped up some errands at the university before I head back to school on thursday. All I can say is I am very much sick and tired of being nickeled and dimed by univesities and the like treating their students like invalids; I’m a big **ing boy now, I should be able to use a credit card to pay for things, declare majors, not pay almost $120 for each book I purchase, and finally, I should be treated as if I were responsible for my own decisions. AND SCENE… (I’ll cut myself short here, it will get pretty incoherent if I continue)
As for classes I am taking this term; I’ll be taking:

• Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science
• Introduction to Scientific Computing
• Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
• Programming Practices (a course in C taught by my favorite professor M. Zapp)
• Programming Language Concepts

I’m not sure how the load of the term will be, but if it isn’t that much (hopefully my GSoC experience has trained me well) I hope to spend some more time developing myself a decent game engine to start making games on, or perhaps learn Ruby or Python, as well as trying to make a dime or two on RentACoder. It is getting late though, I should be off to bed
