Yeah I passed passed the written part of the driving test. So now I can drive with any over 18 who has a driving license. In other news I'm working on a pong game you can download it at http://www.programmers-unlimited.com/projects/downloads/35.zip
The insurence is much cheaper when your 18. That was the main reason. Also you have to take drivers ed to get your license before your 18. And since i'm a lazy person I didn't want to take it.
Now that I'm 18 I'm going to get a driving license. First I have to get a permit so I'm reading the California Driving Handbook online. I really hope I pass the test the first time. I'll be really happy to finally be able to drive legally. It funny that for the longest time I didn't care about driving but now I really want my license. I guess I want to be more i
My last finals were yesterday. So I'm done! Of course in June I go to Berkeley for my internship which is kind of like school. But it should be fun. I know I got A's in at least three of my classes I'm still waiting for my grade in Complex Analysis.
I installed Fedora Core 2 today which took most of the day. So I didn't start studying for my finals tomorrow unil 8 p.m. As a result I',m kinda nervious about them. So far I love Fedora the eye candy is just great and hardware recoginizition is getting better and better. My printer just worked with Fedora I didn't have to install drivers or anything it was
I just finished my Complex analysis final an hour ago. I think I got all the questions right except the last one. I did the last one very wrong. There were 13 questions so I should still get an A but I know the teacher will be dissipointed about the last question. Other than that it was a long final I took the whole two hours to do it. He gave us an extra 15 minu
I had my physics final this morning it was way too easy. There were only 5 questions and none of them were difficult. My complex analysis final is tomorrow. That's going to be hard the teacher likes to stuff as much material as possible on exams. So I should be studying for it. And I will just not now.
Yesterday I did some old physics tests and an old final to prepare myself for the final. Yep I broke down and started studying that awful thing called study. And today I'm doing old math tests. When will I stop! Friday of course when it will all be over. But on June 5 I go to berkeley to start all over again. Thankfully I won't be taking classes. I'm going to be helpi
I have finals tuesday,wednesday and friday so of course what am I doing I'm ovoiding studying in the eternal tradition of students. I don't think the tests should be too hard but what I've decided to do is redo all the old tests over again that should get me up to speed and prepared. To be honest I ready for it to be over I mean I've finished learning and now all I'm
Why do I feel this urge to write? I want to create something anything. It is very easy for me to just watch t.v. and read the news online for hours and hours. This isn't what I want to do with my life. I want to be one of the doeriers not one of the consumers. That is why I write to get the reassurence that I've done at least something today. And haven't just cons
My classes for tomarrow are cancelled and my first exam isn't till tuesday so I have 5 days to relax. Of course I should study for my exams. And I will a little bit but not too much. Today I went through an old physics final with a class mate which took about two hours but it was really good to go back and look at stuff from earlier in the semester. Sad
I got my Complex Analysis test back monday. I got 98/100 which is the same score I had on the previous two tests I'm still trying for that 100. The other people in my class did surprisingly well. The average was 78 which on his grading scale is a B. Looking at my four classes the people in my Complex Analysis class as a whole are doing a great deal better than the
I thought it was pretty cool one of the profesors at my school is conducting an experiment in decision making. And depending on you decisions you make different amounts of money. And got $40 not too shabby. It took around 2 hours so thats $20 an hour.
I just took my complex analysis exam. It was a real exam. He put a derivation problem on it where you derive the generalized Cauchy-Goursat therom. Which was cool and he put a problem that we haven't covered in class. All in all it was a fun test. I felt like he really tested our knowledge to the limits. I hope other people besides me do well on it also. I've not
I gave my talk on computer graphics today. I don't think it went very well. But there where a couple of questions. The presentation was on the math behind 3D graphics so basically it was on using matrices to manipulate triangles. Projection of an object onto a 2D screen. And displaying 2D triangles. I wish I had used a couple more figures to illistrate projection.
We got our score on the physics test today. I did fairly well at 38 out of 40 but only two other people passed. There's 8 people in our class so that's pretty bad. I have to say I'm disipointed in our class I thought the test was too easy did I mention you only needed 50% to pass. The teacher decided to give an optional take home exam that is due tomarrow at noon. So
But the thing is I really like the teachers at the school I'm at so I kind of hate to leave them after I've gotten to know them
Yeah. I should be at a different school next fall. Hopefully the classes will be harder.
I took the physics exam this morning I think he made it too easy. I would have had some stuff on angular momentum. I was talking to my linear algebra teacher and he was saying that he wasn't going to be able to cover all the stuff he wanted cause there was a group of 8 or so students that weren't keeping up. I think he should plunge ahead. I mean it's the s
Well I took my math test yesterday it went pretty good. But my pratice for a talk I'm giving next week was horrible. Now I have physics test the day after tomarrow. Which is going to be bad. I still don't really know the material. I'm just hoping to get a B. Other than that life is okay. The weather is getting pretty hot. Yesterday it was 96 or so. Today it was i
I have an exam tomarrow homework due on tuesday and wednesday and an exam on thursday not to mentition a talk I'm giving next week. Needless to say I'm stressed. My physics is what I'm really nervious about. I still don't really understand it.
I got KDE 3.2 working it turns out the problem was I wasn't exporting QTDIR so kde was using the wrong version of qt and some other stuff. But it finally works again. And in konqueror 3.2 joeuser.com displays correctly.
I thought i would introduce myself since I have some time on my hands. I'm a college student, studing math and physics with a interest in computer graphics and well anything computer related. The title for my blog site stands for Computer Graphics and Mathmatics. Which pretty much sums up my current research interests. I'm currently a junior and plan to

JoeUser.com has some serious problems displaying with Konqueror 3.1. The joeuser logo fills up about one quarter of the middle top portion of the screen. Anyways I've been working on upgrading KDE to 3.2 and it has been quite a journey. The first time I did it worked great. I like the new features and everything. But then somehow KDE lost the icons for tons of s
