Older blog entries for sgithens (starting at number 1)

I started my training at the Motherlode today. Jess showed me how to make most of the drinks ( I didn't actually practice making them yet ). I need a lot of practice frothing for cappacino's. I made a sandwich, took out the recyclables and did some general sweeping up.

I put about 4 hours into organic chem, and starting figuring out how to synthesize things using Malonic esters.

To relax before bed I booted into Windows to play with SharpDevelop and do some C sharping. Nonetheless I'm really impressed, both with C#/.NET and SharpDevelop, it's pretty tight. I can't wait till Windows.Forms support is in Mono so we can use it in *nix.

It's amazing how much you can get done in a day when you don't have to go to work. I woke up today and went to the rec room for an hour. Then I went to my last organic chemistry lab for the summer, to a local coffee shop to study for 4 hours, ran 7 miles and back to the coffee shop to close it out.

I got a little time today to look at some websites so I can start redesiging my homepage and various software project pages. I took a litte time to work on Botslide. I only have 2 more weeks of Organic Chem 2 left. During the break week I should be able to get Botslide finished and update it's webpage. After that I can continue work on my Gnuplot GUI. I'm only taking 12 credits this fall, and it's 3 of them.

I also got a little mandolin time in today.
