Pete's Log:
Entry #950, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
The assumption was that seeing how I'd gone for 32 hours without so much as a wink of sleep, I should easily be able to sleep more than 4.5 hours. That assumption was proven wrong. I slept from 19:30 to midnight and then found myself wide awake. So now algorithms time will start a little early. I've got 10.5 hours until the sucker is due. Woooo doggy!
So I got my graphics project turned in and such. I definitely think I exceeded the requirements for the project, but I don't think I met my personal goals for the thing. I had a long list of fun features I wanted to add and never got around to implementing. But oh well, I shall focus that energy into the final project now. You know, with as much cool code that I personally think I write, most of it really fails to generate results that would impress anyone who doesn't know what the code is doing. There is very little I do that I could, for example, show my parents and have them say "cool!" ... so it's nice from time to time to do stuff like this graphics project where I actually get a result I can show off. But the scariest thing is I'm pretty sure that during the brief time I spent asleep, I dreamt in openGL.
So in procrastination mode yet again, I did a little bit of research and discovered that my tattoo design doesn't resemble any racist symbols I could find, so that's good. I don't think I'm really worried if it resembles any other sort of symbols. I also drew up a really basic rendition of it: tattoo.jpg. Of course I still haven't actually decided to get the thing. It's just always fun to have silly ideas to ponder when you should be doing algorithms instead. But if I did get it, I'd get it on my left wrist, W pointing towards my arm. Various things are symbolized by the thing, but I hope the main idea is obvious...
esgeroth is now turned off. The fan in the power supply gave out completely, so I decided it'd be for the best to leave esgeroth turned off until I get a replacement power supply.
