The keyboard is important, so I had to rush out and buy one this morning. It was the only time that I was going to be able to get it today, well maybe after five. I also realized that my keyboard held two of my usb ports and that I now really need to purchase a usb hub. Anyway, I decided not to go with the cordless variety of keyboard (you should really have a wired one around all the time as backup). I picked up a Logitech iTouch from KCP. It functions on a mac, unlike most of the Microsoft variety. The keyboard worked without any drivers, although I needed to get the Logitech control centre so I could map a key to the eject button, as my computer is lacking one. Whee, test in two hours.

You know what’s awesome? Studying. You now what’s even more awesome? Studying with a cup of coffee on your desk and proceeding to spill it all over your textbook and keyboard. The end result? That would be a keyboard with no functioning keys (or a malfunctioning command key that messes everything else up) and a stained algorithms textbook. Oh, I’m also going to have to pickup a new keyboard in the morning, it’s kind of a necessity. I have class all afternoon, plus the test to study for and write. Bah.

Need cheap dating ideas? My favourite:

If one of your interests is painting, spend an afternoon beside a scenic river bank or a secluded area and paint together. Afterwards you could donate the paintings to a nearby retirement home.

Holy fuck, why can’t I accomplish anything. I have very little desire to open my Algorithms textbook right now. Not that algorithms can’t be fun, I just don’t feel like working with them right now. But I have a test tomorrow, which means I better get in the right kind of mood or I’m going to screw myself.

On the plus side of this hellish week, we managed to get out of the paper a little after 2am last night, which was cool. I think that’s the earliest we’ve been out this year, not including issues from last school year.

Alright, so I’m bored and don’t really have cable. Apparently, the Marlins won the world series. That’s alright, too bad Boston or Chicago didn’t make it though, it might have been interesting. Anyway, databases and online news-sources are fun: lookie here.

Or something like that, think Daft Punk. Uh, so I have some midterms and stuff coming up this week, it’s going to be fun. Not that every week isn’t tons and tons of fun. I have the newspaper to run tomorrow. And I discovered that I have an extra hour tonight, thanks to daylight savings time. Isn’t that great. Oh, I got my final CISC499 project this week (I’ll probably related my 497 project to it as well), I’m going to co-develop Go-Moku for PocketPC and Palm. I haven’t done any game AI or much game programming in general, so it should be interesting. I enjoy puzzle games though, so it’s an interesting project. Right now, I’m studying some networks. Yeah, on Saturday night I’m reading. Whee. I’ll probably go watch a movie with Alanah soon, I can only take so much of this.
