Plenty of work, and some positive AuPair Results
These last couple days have been particularly packed with activity. Between interviewing with Hyland Software and Avanade, fraternity events, sorting through too many pictures, and a Diff Eq and a Sociology exam…I have not gotten much sleep. I have come to perfect my “go to bed at 23:00, wake up before 04:00″ strategy and it has worked out pretty well. After a stale bagel, a slice of cheese, and some oatmeal - I’m good to go.
Today I coded on my EECS430 Project - “AuPair: AI Home Automation” with Alex and Justin until it worked - which took over 6 hours of Java and MySQL coding. The good news? It works. That is, we have a client which can connect to a server which can populate and pull from a mysql database and execute wireless X10 events causing a lamp to turn on and off. The artificial intelligence is still being worked out using Ruby language and tied in with our super-slick Ruby on Rails web interface. Hopefully we’ll get a link to share once we give our presentation. Justin really has made the web interface look amazing.
Of course, on a sadder note, I spent my Friday evening coding. I plan on doing FPGA coding tomorrow morning. Then graph theory java coding in the afternoon until the evening. Repeat this all again on Sunday until finished…
One of the stipulations of joining the masters program is that I have to maintain a 3.5 GPA for all of my masters work courses. Considering my masters program officially starts this semester…let the fun begin.
