Today was a really good day, at least for summer break. I got to see my girlfriend again (second time in the last week… woot), got a long-standing WikiBench todo done, and found some pretty nasty bugs in Mono’s implementation of the 2.0 framework TryParse methods for integer types. Somewhere in there I sent a…

Well, it finally happened…
I got a car! They just had some work done on it so it should be working for a while yet. Not bad for $500.
Manhood
Some of you may know that I celebrated my 21st birthday recently. So I guess I’m legally an adult according to the law, which means that I should be mature enough to choose how much of my time I want to spend drunk. Apparently turning 21 is that life-changing, I guess, according to the government…
Wikipedia in The Andersonian
My school newspaper published an article about Wikipedia. The author used me as a source, so I thought I’d share it here. I only noticed one minor factual error — VandalSniper is used by many non-administrators too; it’s not limited to admins. Page 1 Page 6

Tonight Anderson University SIFE Consulting held their group competition. My group was responsible for the creation of an ecommerce website for Rivers Resources, a local company that sells among other things ink and toner cartridges at rates below OEM.

A lost art
I’ve written before about how the academic world has frustrated me. The feeling is coming back, only this time related to my major, not the required liberal arts courses.

What’s the point…
If you don’t like rants you may not want to read this post. But quite frankly I can’t hold it in anymore. College has drained me. Not merely to the point of having no energy (when does college not do that) but to the point where I just don’t care about anything. I used to…
Personal wiki
It’s amazing how much you forget over the years. That’s why I’ve started my own personal wiki to record events, people, places, and other things. I’m not sure if it will be made public as it may contain quite a bit of personal information, but I may post selected articles from time to time. I…
