Monthly Update (Oct 2005)

In short: School is boring, but I’m still doing well.

One of my classmates has just recently rigged a tournament bracket for the class (competing with the tests). It’s just like a typical college basketball bracket, except that to advance you have to “cover the spread”, that way those of us who are more intelligent *cough* don’t automatically advance over the other contestant.

There is a flaw to the system though. Our class #1 and I figured out that if he were to place against one of the better Electrical Engineering majors in our class for the quarter finals (which is a EE test), that he would have to score better than perfect to advance due to the way they are currently calculating the spread. By the way, unless regrades go my way, I will have been eliminated from the first round by 0.02 points, thanks again to the spread. ;-)

In other news: I’ve been hanging out with some friends more on the weekends. But more important, my wife has been hanging out with one of my friend’s wives. This is awesome, we’ll get her to have someone on her phone list yet! ;-)

I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to overhaul the kdesvn-build documentation. It’s still not done yet but hopefully it would be much improved by the time I’m done.

One last thing: Jonathan, are you sure they didn’t just remove the logo for a different reason? If it’s true what you claim then I am very disappointed but I think it’s bad form to simply make an accusation when it could be a simple misunderstanding.
