So I got invited for an interview for a second company this morning. I now have one interview on Wednesday with Produce Pro, a software company that does specialized software for produce companies, and next Wednesday I have an interview with Blue Horseshoe Solutions, a software company that does systems solutions for various clients. I also am going to try and talk to a few companies at the Indiana High Tech Job Fair on Wednesday. So wish me luck…
I have just finished my third exam and finally have some free time beyond school, at least hopefully. I have been entertaining trying another design, even though it probably won’t be used for a while, I just want to have something in the works for whenever I get bored of this one. I realized that I really don’t update the gallery at all. I plan on dragging my camera around campus for a while taking pictures of the places I frequent. Like my room, labs, campus in general. I will probably procrastinate some of my programming this weekend by either coding and styling the movie section or by trying to set up the MythBuntu on the mythTV box.
I have already began thinking about and semi planning my life after college. I am pretty sure I will be getting a smart phone, and unless some big, nice, new smart phone comes out before then, I’m leaning towards the HTC Touch something (there are a few versions) or the Samsung Omnia. I also have thought about and am sure I will build a new computer eventually after graduating. Then I would probably turn this tower into something, I’m thinking a Linux file server, and possibly move the web server over to it. Not sure though. I do want to bring the two monitors over to the new one and add some big LCD to it, like 30 inches or 24. I figure I won’t do a whole lot more with my money beyond get a basic
So I just got back from lab. My pipelined processor source works for all the files they gave us. A pipelined processor is processor optimized to run at higher clock speeds (the GHz or MHz values given for the processor). It is pretty rewarding to know that I can make a processor, the thing that runs a computer. Its also a headache to look and figure out the code. But I don’t think I will meet many people in my life who can say that they have made a working processor. We have to do a report next week after break is over and then make the caches and then turn it into a multi core processor. I need to do the hardware testing tomorrow, seeing if the source code on the computer can turn into a real version I can hold in my hands…
Fall break is this weekend. I get to spend the Saturday and Sunday at a frisbee tournament and then the Monday and Tuesday just chilling in Indy. It’s a good break coming in good time. I have to spend time catching up on my coding for my Object Oriented course. I’m mostly done with the general code for the Breakout game in between the Java and C++, I just need to transplant the rest of the code between the two languages. That will come after this 437 is done. Its a nice senior year I have to say. Nothing is daunting, after the past three years it seems like all of us have already been there and done that, so this workload isn’t even shocking or stressful. Now I am going to sleep a bit before class tomorrow…
