Bad, Bad Blogger.

I am such a negligent blogger. People have given up reminding me to blog because they know I'm not going to do it with regularity anyway. Oh well, that's me.

Honestly there hasn't been a lot of interesting stuff going on lately, but I'll sum up some of the recent happenings in Scottland:

Dropped computer vision to instead take it next year as a graduate course. This was necessary because of the next point.

Have to go back to Stoney Creek at least 2 more times before Christmas, possibly 3. To that end I leave Friday for my next trip.

That leaves me with only matrix algebra which I could ace without really thinking all that much about it. The midterm was this morning and I'm pretty sure I got perfect on it.

Went to Boston about 9 days ago to go to the swapfest at MIT. Spent the morning trolling through thousands of pieces of used computer equipment, which makes it incredibly difficult to actually decide what you want to get and then makes it that much more depressing when you go back to the vendor who had what you wanted and now its gone.

Several people in our group picked up Mac G3 boxes and other assorted Mac hardware -- actually, that seemed to be the theme of this trip. I was the only person to decide on a plain ol' PIII (which I'll be using to run Asterisk at my house).

That afternoon was spent at the Boston Museum of Science which I wouldn't recommend to anyone older than 9, unless they're from the east coast or are a student attending Ryerson in Toronto. It was all very...simplistic. The planetarium was built in the 50s and doesn't look as if it has been updated since. Oh well, now I know where not to go in Boston.

And btw, who designed the streets in Boston? A bunch of Ryerson students it must have been. I've never seen a town so backwards. We got lost a couple of times which was complicated by the number of trees seen to be falling on cars in our path (it was really windy).

Shoulda gone to the Omnimax Theater... It had F16's & F15's dogfighting. And a cute radar operator in the AWACS ;) One of the F15 drivers too (Yes, it was a she) ;)
