Wes’s Life

After a good eight or more hours study­ing, I went to take my Vector Geom­e­try test today and man­aged to snag an 89% with three incor­rect answers. After I got back, which was around five o’clock we went to eat dinner at Taco Bell, kind of a treat after doing all that work. When we got back, I did vir­tu­ally noth­ing until around eleven. Then we decided to play a game of Age of Empires II. It was kind of fun, but I don’t like the pace of the game, it is much to slow for me. I rec­om­mended Rise of Nations and was imme­di­ately shot down as they prefer slower games. Fine by me, no skin off my back. Other than that, almost noth­ing hap­pened today.

If anyone is read­ing this, I want to put in a request. Let me know about any Group­ware (cal­en­dar, to-​do list) soft­ware that you know about that isn’t Out­look. I am trying to find one that works for me, but the major­ity just dont seem to work for me.

Chelsea FC won against Charl­ton Ath­letic today one to noth­ing. The win­ning goal was made by Makelele after attempt­ing to make a penalty shot. He caught the rebound and made his first goal ever for Chelsea. With the cur­rent point stand­ings, Chelsea is one point shy of Man­ches­ter United’s record of 92 points.

After the game, Chelsea was awarded the trophy for win­ning the Pre­mier­ship Title. After reciev­ing the trophy they handed it off to the 1955 Chelsea team, which hadn’t been pub­licly awarded to them when they had won in 1955.

Well, today I fin­ished my last and final Java pro­gram for my fresh­man year. Kind of a relief that it is fin­ished. We had to take our already exist­ing pro­gram from our pre­vi­ous two assign­ments and modify it to not only create a data­base of exam­i­na­tions in memory, but to also grade the exam­i­na­tions. While this seems like a simple task, it gets much harder when you add in dif­fi­cult for­mu­las that are very easy to mess up and not so easy to find out where. But I turned it in and received my grade, I ended up with a 94%. I can def­i­nitely live with that.

Well, I have exams coming up, so I will prob­a­bly be post­ing spar­ingly. How­ever, after the 11th I will be free of my fresh­man year of col­lege. After that I will be going to Greece for two weeks and be sans com­puter. I will be writ­ing about my expe­ri­ences in a note­book and I will post all about it includ­ing pic­tures.

After a lot of tin­ker­ing and quite a bit of help from the WPG2 Embed­ded Forum, the gallery is finally ite­grated into my theme. You can get to it from the link on the top right. Expect a lot more pic­tures to be placed in the gallery in the future.

I have to con­fess that I absolutely love food. I eat one par­tic­u­lar type of food on my plate at time, make sure to keep them sep­a­rated as to not com­bine the food if I can help it. Sure, I have heard the “it all goes down the same way” adage. While this is a com­pletely valid state­ment, I think that you should enjoy the food that you eat.

So, I took note of the fact that I will be living with two other col­lege guys in my appart­ment next semes­ter. I looked around for var­i­ous sites that would pro­vide me with recipes that I would like and not to hard to pre­pare, or easy enough to deci­pher the instruc­tions. So in my search I stum­bled upon Cook­ing for Engi­neers. They have a nice selec­tion of easy recipes with very simple, visual instruc­tions.

I highly rec­om­mend anyone that typ­i­cally can’t follow your grandma’s “just a pinch of this and that” recipes to take a look at this site. By the way, these recipes aren’t like “Easy Mac Deluxe”. Among other recipes I found Poached Fish, Prime Rib, Meat Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi and plenty more where that came from.
