In less than 24 hours, and over 8 hours of sleep (just started ont hose hours late.) I present to you the result of Ryan Goodwin and I’s hack-a-thon last night…
Still looking for a good name, and requires a facebook account.
I am off to dinner, details soon. Leave me a comment of what you think.
Searching google for “Giant crash replacement program”, clenching the teeth in the shower as I try to use the wash rag, counting cracks in the helmet. These are a few of my least favorite things.
On my birthday friday, I did receive three gifts of money that said it should be used for my bike, maybe they knew something.
Lightning still rolls and got me home, but received a good handle-bar-dent on today’s ride. (I purchased the bike with a large dent, thus the thoughts for replaement.) I was cruising down grapevine road and ate it hard in a turn on the dirt road. I couldn’t see for a few moments and then it was really bright, I destroyed my helmet. I believe this was my first wreak on the road bike. Ouch.
For a different approach. Let’s try doing the what is Matt up to post MasterCard-ad-style.
Sunday’s Delicious Dinner at Chili’s with Tyler Madden- 16 Dollars
He is now living it up in Downtown Denver, at the regency. I think they did a great job redesigning the old hotel into housing for college kids.
Lunch with Joel - 9 Dollars
After our field session presentations I talked Joel into joining me for lunch at Qdoba. Good food, great company.
Passport, with expedite - 187 Dollars
Mother has a few seminars in the coming months in the confines of the friendly ‘nabor’ up north: Canada. Which, when traveling by plane, requires a passport. Hopefully I will get more than this use out of this thing in the 10 years it is valid.
Sociable Computer Scientists Dinner - 13 Dollars
A LONG evening at Woody’s was spent with the secret invite-only group. We arrived around 6 and left around 9:30. (Similar to the last meeting at Qdoba.) World dominion plans were further detailed- fear not.
A 30 second meeting with the boss - 1 MacBook Pro (street value of 2000 dollars)
Alright so I never actually owned the machine, but after using it for five months we were pretty attached. I guess I will survive with this Black MacBook Core 2 Duo.
Golden Bowl and Golden Bowl - 10 dollars
Greg entertained me with two games of bowling why I enjoyed some Golden Bowl Chinese Food. After which I joined in and we played 3 games. Greg has been spending a bit of time at the alley and it shows, I was impressed with my games though as well. I think I might try to put together a team of folks to play in their Tuesday league. Send me an email if your interested. (Cheap, entertaining, beer, free bowling during the week, the pleasure of being in my company.)
Airline ticket to WWDC - 260 dollars
I have spent my bread on an adventure to be held June 10th-16th in San Francisco. I will be attending the World Wide Developer Conference in sunny San Francisco.
At Colorado School of Mines every student must complete a field session pertaining to their major in order to graduate. I am completing my requirement of field session this summer. As I noted in a previous post, field session 2007 started Monday. Well good news is 3 days into it I am not burned out, and excited about the project.
I am working on a small but very important part of Parallel Real-time Immersive network Modeling Environment (PRIME.)
The PRIME Research states the goal of the project is…
to investigate fundamental technologies that enable real-time large-scale network simulations and to develop a real-time immersive network simulation environment
One neat part they have implemented is real computers and applications can participate in the simulation!
The specific part of the project that my team is working on is developing the capability for the virtual routers to maintain configuration and activity information and be able to report it using the SNMP standard. (A more detailed project description on the Field Session website.)
I am working on this project with two other students. As an advantage, one of the students has done some work for this exact project and has been very helpful in brining us up to speed on EXACTLY how we are to get things done.
