Pete's Log: subtlety and scoreboarding

Entry #1011, (Coding, Hacking, & CS stuff)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

My life can be summed up as a sequence of subtle transitions: from christian ska to country to japanese punk to hip hop. But a day like today calls for such subtlety.

I am implementing a scoreboard simulator in shade. It's an interesting adventure. It's not an adventure I'd choose to take, given the choice, but it has its value. The good thing is all that is needed is statistics. So all I need is enough functionality to get a CPI. I think I'm actually doing it in a much less hackish manner than I expected to. Soon I shall have completed the simulator, and then all that's left to do is run simulations to get numbers.

I will never fully convert to being a C++ person. I am unlikely to even transition to being a mostly C++ person until there is some kind of linking standard for C++. C++ has its uses, and I use it frequently. But C is still my language of choice. If I could have only one programming language, it'd definitely be C.

I have consumed nothing today other than (green) mountain dew and double stuf oreo's. I'm living healthy these days. Must be finals time.
