coding frenzy

So I have been in a coding frenzy and will continue to be in one for probably the next three weeks. I have gotten a large amount done on the senior design software (all of the software has been mine) and hopefully we will have something to show by the end of the week. I am pretty excited about it and have been spending more time than I should working on it. I will probably finish the client this weekend and make it look nice. I also am getting started with the Django for our CS project and along with that will be working some with this website as a basis (since it gives me some of a learning curve). Along with my job, I should basically be coding around the clock until graduation (or until everything is done). I have been carrying the software load in our senior design project and at this point don’t trust the other software guy to code his way out of a paper bag. I think he is just going to be along for the ride at this point and we are going to carry him across the line. I know that I will be throwing all the documentation stuff at him without much guilt. I hope to be invited to the bonus presentation, I think that would be one of the most redeeming things to end my time in this major, being good enough at what I have learned to be invited to tell further undergrads about it.

It’s down to 30 some days. That’s it, all that is left between me and the end of school. I have a lot to do, but its still just that small. I have been a student for over 15 straight years and a week into May I will be done with it all. I don’t know how it will feel, but it will be different. I just hope that I will have a job and be off to somewhere else and not stuck idling around waiting for my 16 years of education go to waste.

Oh, I also got a beta for Trillian Astra (I have used Trillian as my all-in-one IM client for a long time) and it is amazing. I am seriously thinking of paying for a professional license (which I never do, since I get the basic for free) just to support the fantastic product that they have made. It really is an awesome IM client and I really do hope they put it out for Linux so that I can find one to stay with.
