I suggest you listen to it.

And if you really want an explanation, talk to me in person.

I had heard about those books before and I’d really like to read them sometime.

One of the lines that really hit me was: “When we make something that declares to us, ‘I am a child of God,’  what’s our response to it?”

Woke up earlier than usual today, with a reason: I really hadn’t prepared much for that in class essay for CMPT 320.  I mean, I had read Searle’s paper on his argument (against Strong AI having understanding) but I hadn’t written anything on paper yet.  So, I had breakfast, headed up to the hill 45 minutes early, and started on organizing some thoughts.  Had 310, more about minimax searching for AI solving of board games.

Then two more hours of no class, so I prepped more, ate lunch; finished a decent outline and had a solid concrete of the main topics with time to spare, so I headed over to see how UCM’ers were doing.  Said hi, told Ryn about the Grover-Sesame Street Old Spice thing, helped with a cranium game, saw a jenga tower fall.

In class essay went well, 371 after that, I pulled my laptop out as usual since I don’t really need to take notes in that class(powerpoint on website) and I had already read the chapter dealing with the topic(reliable data transfer) a few weeks ago.  And whaddya know, another coop interview, and one where I would have a very flexible option on scheduling.  Finished up internet’ing whilst glancing at the ppt slides, headed home.

Took the metrotown path this time through, and the line for the 49 bus was really long, luckily the 430 showed up at the same time as the 49, so I got a seat and got home quickly enough.

Supper, and youth.  The young’ns were rowdy as usual, but more well behaved than usual during sharing since we had guests. Good games, didn’t remind Kyle to bring snack, so he didn’t bring it. Hmmm. Need to get on top of making that schedule; also need to get Tim to get a concrete list of the youth so I can do that.

Also, last night’s hockey game did not go well.  Played a team who hasn’t lost or even tied yet, and we’re in a division higher than usual.  Smoked, 8 to 1.  I think my +/- was only -2 though.

So, today was fun.  Had 2 Co-op Job interviews, they went decently well.  But of course, that’s from my point of view.  I have no clue about who I look to any of these employers because I don’t really have much concrete experience to pull from, just a lot of potential; but that’s all it is, potential.  Although neither of the places were downtown so they took quite a while to get to via transit.  Met another guy who was like 40 looking for jobs while waiting for one bus.

Stopped at the library too to return “33 1/3: ok computer”.  I also picked up beautiful code again and also a sql book, cuz I need to learn databases for most coop jobs.

Took a nap when I got home.  Odd how after being sleepy on the bus, it still takes a while to get sleepy again while lying down.

And now I have a hockey game.  Hope it goes well.  I need to get in shape so I actually have some stamina when I play, but I can’t find the time to work out between all of my other preoccupations.

Yeah… it’s pretty retarded.

Aw well, I guess its a lesson in humility.  Horray for building character.

So, here’s what’s been going on in outtatown so far this year…

Firstly, we went to Camp Assiniboia, just 30 minutes from winnipeg.  There, we mainly got to know each other, play games, etc.  We also had some sweet class/session things with Pierre, one of the profs from CMU(I think).

I beat Jeff, one of our leaders at Settlers, and he was pretty devastated about that.  Also, we did some horseback riding, which was pretty sweet.  But the biggest thing that sucked about that week was that there are soooo many mosquitoes there.

Anyways, after that week, we headed off to Manitoba Pioneer Camp, Lake of the Woods; however, it’s actually in the westmost part of Ontario and its actually on Shoal lake.  Its also on an island, which was pretty sweet to explore before we headed off on our canoes.  Also, we got to meet up with the South Africa site, who was on their way out, having finished their canoe trip.  We got to eat lunch with them, and I met angus, who relieved me of my need for geek talk.  I think that I did the same for him as he mentioned that it was nice to get his weekly dose of geek.  Anyways, we talked about our preferred OSs and Linux distros.

The canoe trip was pretty sweet.  The food was way better than any other camping food i had.  The waves were big.  I saw beaver huts.  Explored a mine.  Pooped in the bush.  Sweet week altogether.

And just now we finished our first nations experience at the roseau river reserve with the anishinabe people.  Changed my entire perspective on First nations people.  We also went to an old mennonite village, Neubergthal.  One of the houses there that has been updated is pretty much the house of my dreams.  Yup.

And now we’re at a retreat centre in Pinawa, doing the same thing we did ag Assiniboia.

That’s all for now!

Anyways, my ideas that i’ve been brewing for a while that i’ve always needed to blog about:

• Mod audio players to look more like amarok and less like itunes; candidates: foobar2000, quarkplayer, musikcube2
  • likelyhood of doing it: slim, bit more than slim with foobar since i’d just need to make a component
• CD ripping support for amarok: i submitted this to Gsoc in ’08.  No bites.  oh well
• just a CD ripper: queues as the main interface element, to rip as much as possible at the same time.
  • why? current interfaces suck
  • possible, but unlikely atm
• mduel remake
  • my cousin’s doing this, he’s started in python, restarted in c and is now restarting again
  • i tried this a couple years ago in java, restarted once, would restart again
  • would wait to see if joel comes thru, steal his code and port it to java and/or Qt, otherwise, still possible
• powerpoint replacement, named “Projection”
  • when i get free time, i’ll do it.  depends on my war3 cravings.  Qt4 ftw!
  • powerpoint sucks, opensong = meh, oo.o impress = good but not optimal esp. for songs, mediashout looks good, but $$$$$, proprietary.
  • i already have a qt app that has a button that makes it go fullscreen.  Yay! pretty good for first time using qt and c++.
• replacement for campwise.  That bloated stupid microsoft-whaddya-call-it-only lets you use ie…
  • maybe in a couple years… I’ll have to learn how to use/code the AMP in LAMP/WAMP.  And of course, LOTS of free time.
• minimalistic linux setup to be low on power, cli interface, just playes music.  And of course an amarok-like interface.
• Lots of hacks on dwm
  • vista theme that looks like oxygen
• passing windows’ desktop right click menu/shell extensions to be accessible thru plasma/windows.
  • just talking about it gives me an idea: just pop it up thru a submenu that just loads windows’ submenu.  It’d look hackish but work!
• some way to quickly switch between ndiswrapper and bcm43xx linux wireless drivers thru networkManager… probably unrealistic tho.
• bake the ultimate cookie: cross between double chocolate and cornflake-m&m cookies.

Also, for c++, Eclipse? MSVC? Kdev?  I’ll see in a few weeks when i’ll(hopefully) have free time.  and lots of it.

Oh yeah, the name of this blog comes from a comment on a blog.  so sue me.
