Pish… I should have done better in Java. Maybe if I hadn’t accidentally slept through as many quizzes or completely not turned in one of the four programs. I was actually expecting worse, but I can live with it I guess. I plan on acing next year’s C++ class though.
Think back to when you were in high school. This time left you a lot of fond memories. The sports games, the friends, the food, the smell of the dissections, that one time in health class with the STD pictures. Hopefully though, you had the experience of having a class with a teacher who went above and beyond. Someone who did more than just trying to get everyone ready for the state administered final. Someone who went about changing the way you thought about a particular subject, and made you break the mental boundaries you thought you had. If this was an experience that you were lucky enough to have, hold onto it. This memory is that of a great teacher.
What started earlier this semester as a comic strip itself, has now become a serious discussion of turning the hilarity of our nerdy conversations into a webcomic. With others supplying mad MS paint skills and myself taking over the webmaster position, this could really happen. Whether it will be worth a laugh or not is another thing entirely. We’re still throwing ideas around as to how to get it drawn and what to call it. So far it’s easy to tell that it will be drawing a lot of influence from XKCD as well as VG Cats and possibly Ctrl+Alt+Del. We’re thinking about, since each of us will be a character in the comic, having each of us draw ourselves whenever we happen to make an appearance in a strip, keeping the art unpredictable and inconsistent, but it’s new, and you know the internet is all about new, so we might just try it. It seems like the most likely place to have it hosted for the moment will be here on WordPress, since it’s easy to set up, cheap (free for now), and is easy to move to a dot com later if such a thing were to be desired.
It’s nothing much… Just a little Java program I wrote for fun on the side one day in a couple of hours. You will need Java installed on your computer to run it, though I would expect most people already do.
So you see I stopped updating. I don’t think I would blame it on any one thing. I’ve had the free time, but I never found the urge to write, or the content to publish. Maybe this summer I’ll find more drive to write. In between I still post interesting articles and pictures, and publish interesting things I find on the web. I would like to start a more serious blogging effort eventually. There is a cooperative in the works between myself and a Duong or two, maybe a few others. Look forward to it.
