So, my plan for semester #5 seems to be finalized. I did not do too well in the Physics test out – apparently they cover less in the summer iteration of the course than they test for in the test-out. This mean I will have to take Phys 272 in semester #6 (ah well, a [...]

So, 4 days into this semester I think I have decided my schedule. I am assuming I have a relatively light semester owing to some stupidity I engaged in (screw ups with the coursework). Anyway, here’s my coursework for this semester: CS 352 – Compilers (supposed to be hard) CS 314 – Numerical Methods (this [...]

I can’t help but wonder that my blogging, project euler problem solving frequency has dipped way too [...]

Since I was quite bored this week (thanks to an October break I spent entirely in my room) and a homework assignment that quite seriously sucked balls, I decided to read something about strings and read about Suffix trees and decided to whip up an algorithm that would create a neat suffix tree by walking [...]

It is my first time in a large laboratory and I am loving the silence (although I don’t know how silent this place will be next week and I am also quite apprehensive about letting other majors roam about Computer Scientist territory) Ahem, I am in the Lawson CS Building, in an air conditioned Linux [...]
