I lied in last week's blog entry, this is my last blog class-related blog entry. We had the test on Friday, it wasn't too bad. In fact, I think the only questions I made mistakes on were the UML questions. I didn't even think about studying UML specs, I studied all the quizzes, all the lecture code, and re-read the notes, but I completely...

Now that the groupies' role in World Crisis is finally over (YAH!), I can finally relax a bit and enjoy whats left of summer. Of course, that is easier said than done, seeing as how my it feel like my face is going to melt off every time I step outside. Wow has it been hot. The kind of heat that makes you feel you are starring in Do the...
For the last phase of World Crisis we were to implement search on the site. To get started I looked for the SQL api for the Google DataStore. I needed to know the where syntax so I could throw the search terms at it. Of course, I didn't get very far, as the DataStore isn't a relational database with such conventions. Not to mention no join...

So, I took the second test in CS 373 on Friday. It wasn't too bad, however it was an odd mix of material. There were a handful of readings, a lot about SQL and UML, and yet there weren't any questions over them. Half of my crib sheet was about that stuff. I had every database term on there, diagrams of example UMLs, etc, but none of it was...
I'm not sure if I have the energy to write this blog post. The groupies and I spent all day yesterday and today in the lab working on the second phase of World Crisis. And we still aren't completely done! Building a website from scratch is no small feat! With every new design addition comes twice as many other areas that need...
Today I went to Freebirds to get a 5 dollar salad while the 5 dollar salad summer deal days are still on, and all was going smoothly enough, until I tried to start the car to leave. I thought, oh great, my old 1998 Honda Accord has finally bit the bullet, finally dunked the donkey, finally egged the old house, but instead of walking across the hwy...
What a joyous holiday weekend! I spent about 7 hours on Saturday updating ibEconomy to work with IPB 3.2, and today I spent 6 hours creating my group's World Crisis webpage. CSS drives me insane. Its like RegEx. On the whole, both are super powerful, well-documented, deterministic (even-though it doesn't feel like it sometimes),...
Here we are, 3 weeks, 2 projects, 7 quizzes, and 1 test down, with plenty more to go. Today Ryan and I spent 6 hours brainstorming and spiking for the first of the remaining 3 projects. When we parted neither of us were convinced we had actually gotten anything done. 
But I was a bit more optimistic, at least we have some idea about what...

Another week over, another project done in CS 373. This time we were only required to write the program in one language, Python. I am really going to like coding in Python. One of the things I despise about Java is its overt obsession with OOPs (Object Oriented Programming) and how much writing it takes to do the simplest things. In case...
So, I'm in a Software Engineering summer school class here at UT and for extra credit we can post weekly blog entries. Well, since I just purchased this IP.Blog software to integrate with ibEconomy, I figured I might as well use it, so here I am. 
Wow, what a first project. I've been programming for a few years and never have I had...
