Done half of my exams, two more to go. So sleepy. I've spent 14 of the past 48 hours marking CSC108 - Introduction to Programming (in Java) exams. I think some of my favourites were:
- if (x != x) break;
- public String toString() { return "My name is " + toString(); }
- and the winner:
String line = in.readLine();
if(line.equals(line.indexOf(line))) {...}
So now I am very tired - but happily so - it has been an excellent week.
I accepted the IBM offer on Thursday. I am a proud new member of the IBM Toronto Lab's Application Development Technologies group, or will be, when school releases me from its kung-fu grip.
Thursday was also dad's birthday, which was cool since I got to see him again, and since the steak dinner was insanely great.
Thursday as well, Dad told me that I could pick up a digicam for myself as graduation present. Specifically, he told me I could pick up the FujiFilm 4700 Zoom, which is a gorgeous little piece of machinery, and 4.1 megapixels is once again, insanely great - I'll take octagonal CCD over rectangular any day.
This week my group of friends, who tend to keep in touch through an irc channel, migrated our channel over to openprojects.net, where things are just excellent. lilo, it turns out, is very helpful as an IRCop, and the random wanderers coming into the channel make for some excellent conversations.
And finally - I began teaching myself ML last night (as a result of one such conversation). What a pretty language.
