Pete's Log: blah blah

Entry #622, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

Redskins beat the Rams. Take it, Rams!

My leg really hurts. And there's a lot of snow outside. And tomorrow there's bw3's. Looks like I'm catching a ride with Brian tomorrow.

Made some shell progress. And actually on parts of the code that are required, unlike most of the work I've done so far. Rumors are that Dr Freeh is likely to use my parser for the course next year. cuz I rock. Brian's probably gonna use my parser this year, Dr Freeh said that'd be all right. I tested it for memory leaks. It has none. And there's even some odd memory ownership transfers going on. I was surprised to learn there were no memory leaks. I impress myself sometimes.

I'm setting up some funky data structures for my shell, since I'm all into optimality. I don't think that's a word. But there's hashing and all sorts of linked list like structures. And all of it in C. That's beauty. And I'm all about constant time inserts and easy sequential access. The hashes are for the random access occasions.

Did some 232 grading. hw7 has been sent out to the graders. Should attempt to work on hw8 tomorrow. Get this stuff caught up. hw9 looks like hell. But it's not due until the 30th. So I won't worry about it until then. I don't think I'm gonna TA 232 anymore. It was a lot of fun last year, I met a lot of cool people. It's not been nearly as fun this year, and I think the sophomores all hate me. I've gotten my TAing requirement out of the way, so there's no more need for me to TA (unless I lose research funding) but I'd like to TA more, I think I need a break from it, though.
