Yeah, I promised I wouldn't let this thing languish. Well, I lied a little bit.

To rectify the situation, I will now attempt to tell you what I have been up to for the last several weeks -- all in one sentence:

I have been up-to-my-freakin'-eyeballs in homework.

There, that sums everything up quite nicely.

Seriously, I have been working hard. The robotics lab at UDC is finally starting to look like something.
Hopefully I can score some posters for those walls...

In other news, the computer graphics class is quite interesting. As usual, I underestimated the amount of work that the class would require -- I actually assumed that the content would be more about using the existing 3D graphical frameworks in Java (JOGL and Java3d), but it turns out that we are really focusing more on the theory. We started slow, writing line-drawing algorithms (vis. Bresenham's line drawing algorithm) and circle-drawing algorithms; eventually, we will be writing code to perform complex translations and transformations on arbitrary 2D polygons. Fun.

On the tutoring front, I have also been busy! I have been assigned Dr. Chen's CSII lab this semester. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but this is a very large class. So far, things have been somewhat quiet -- the students have not been asking too many questions -- but that will change very soon as midterms roll around.

So, the words I have been living by are busy, busy, & busy.

Until next time...
