OMG!!! Really?

I don't believe it.

It turns out people actually DO read Happy Desolation. Wow. I feel umm, accomplished.

Anyway, I passed all my unit tests, but didn't really excel(except for Maths and Comm Studies). Oh well.

My exams started this week. So far, they have been GREAT!!! I feel great after leaving them because I know I've done well. I have Chemistry, Physics and Math next week. Guess which one I'm worrying about? Thats right, Chemistry.

I haven't sat down to program anything for a while. I'm going to do some stuff over Christmas so I don't get rusty. But, thats after I finish my Communication Studies Internal Assessment, Biology Meiosis models and some other thing I can't remember at the moment.

I'm just taking the night off since I'll have the weekend to study.

Thank you all my loyal readers. I love you all....sort of...not in a sick way..I think.

Later..
Gavin

The Nerd Report

I just could NOT less this pass me. I mean, how awesome is this??!!

Click meeee!!!

Cognitive computing huh? Well then, I guess I'd better reread my old,worn copies of Neuromancer and rewatch my rotting Johnny Mnemonic DVDs, because as soon as self-aware, thinking computers take over, I'm screwed. lol.

I have worked on a neural network simulation in C++, but its pretty useless as far as actual function is concerned. Just a bit of number crunching(but then, in the end, everything is).

Still, this is pretty interesting. Thank God my original ambition was to become a neurosurgeon. Chances are by the time I get out of medical school they're still going to be messing around with it. Maybe if I get lucky I can work with them. Who knows?

Lets hope this thing pans out.

Oh yeah, I have 5 unit tests next week. Luck, you say?

Ha, I don't need luck.

I need a miracle.

Peace,
Gavin

The Past 2 Months In Less Than 500 Words

Wow, perfect. Another "sorry I haven't updated in so long" post. Its sorta becoming a habit, don't you think?

Well, without further ado, here's the rundown of the past two months.

1)School started. Its a bitch.

2)I learned a lesson the hard way about the importance of backing up stuff. My old computer's motherboard,hard drive,graphics card and memory stick went bad all at the same time. Lost over 200 GB of stuff.

3)I finally realized that I was really good at Mathematics and probably should consider taking over Stephen Hawking's job at CERN.

4)I underwent a period of psychological trauma after starting college Chemistry and realizing that electrons don't actually orbit in shells, their positions are random, that is, they have a 95% chance of being found in a regions of space known as orbitals. I wept.

5)I had an epiphany, and realized that its pretty simple to build a nuclear bomb.

6)All hail President Obama!!! Finally, a balla president. Lots of people died that night, since after seeing that, they probably had nothing left to live for.

7)At some point, I realized that I more or less forgot about Happy Desolation. Some good Samaritan reminded me about it(Thanks Robyn!!).

That's about it. Lets hope from now on, I can be more regular with the updates. For your sake,since I know you all live for this. lol.

Google Chrome is Awesome

Hmm, it seems like I'm betraying Firefox, and Google is too. Google Chrome, their new browser, is AWESOME. In fact, I used Chrome to update this blog posting. Its really ergonomic. No annoying title bar or anything else to clutter the screen, just a clean, streamlined interface.



Get it here and give it a shot.

In other news, school has started for me. Time to prepare for a year of work.

My exam results were great. Eight distinctions for the following subjects: Bio,Mathematics,Chemistry,Physics,English Language,English Literature,Infotech and Spanish. I got a B for GCE Add Maths. Thanks to all my well wishers.

Thats about all I have to say for this update.

See ya people,
Gavin.
