I've kept track of my ranking on here and in the last month or so it's gone down! At one time I was up to 190 or so now I'm at 207. I don't think I'm writing anymore infrequently. What I beleive is happening is that more and more people are using joeuser.com So I'm competing against more people. Example say joeuser.com had 500 users then if I was in the middle I would have a rank of 250. now say joeuser.com has gone up to 1000 users then if I was still in the middle I would have a ran...

It turns out that the math department at ucdavis gives you space for a website so I'm making use of it. I can finally have a central place to keep all of my 3D graphics projects and games so that people can access them. Anyways go check it out I just posted a simple ray tracing engine that I wrote. I still have a lot of features to add to the ray tracer. In other news. I'm doing well in my Intro to Abstract math class I've gotten 35/36 and 36/36 points on the homework so far but man does h...

I turned in my intro to abstract math homework yesterday. I didn't find the homework too hard it was just about right. I took a quiz in analytically mechanics today. I think he made it a little to easy but some people still didn't get correct. Overall I'm not finding UC Davis to be too hard but I'll see how I do on the exams. The quality of students is definetly higher than it was in my linear algebra class at sac state. So I'm pretty happy. I think it will be a good fit. My classes this quar...

I turn my first homewok for Intro to Abstract Math tomarrow I'll see how I do on it. So far I'm enjoying all my classes. None of them seem too difficult. And I'm so glad that the classes will hopefully be harder and I hope the teachers will cover some of the more advanced material. It's really cool that I'm only ten minutes away from class so I can be the clasic lazy college student and not get up till right before class.

I would give Kerry a slight edge. In the closing arguments Bush blinked too often and should of been shorter when his point was simple. I feel that Bush was too repetative on some of the issures. I enjoyed the debate. This will be the first election that I will participate in as a voter!

I got a job monitoring the computer lab in the Computer Science department at UC Davis. This is really cool for me because the hours are just right Sunday 10am-6pm and it's doing something relaxing just monitoring the lab so hopefully when it's not busy I can do my homework and program. The only bad thing is it's only $6.75 an hour but that the price I pay for getting a job that won't interfear with school which is very important. I'm also hoping that I'll get to know the computer scien...

My dad was getting ansy to get a new PC so he decided we should buy the parts and build it ourselves. So our journey commensed. I went with my mom to Fry's to get the motherboard, memory, cpu and hard drive. I choose a P4 2.4Ghz for the cpu and a ECS motherboard and 256 megs of memory. The total was $112 dollars for the cpu and motherboard because they were on sale on $90.00 for the memory because it was not on sale addionally I got a western digital 160GB hard drive for $60.00. We got ho...

At Link there is a great video on how totalitarian the unverisity admistration is in the United States. It is sad how our institutions that are supposed to be places of free thinking are now stifling any deviation of thought from the politically correct view.

I updated a tetris like game I made in python with pygame. It even has a website at http://worldracer.sourceforge.net/tex.html a new update is going to be coming out tomarrow.

I'm back in davis and not doing much. I have done some work on my tetris clone and my 3D software renderer. I'm going to finish a 3D visualzation app for my mentor at Lawerence Berkeley Lab. Other than that I've watched a bunch of movies my sister got the blockboster movie pass deal so I've been watching at least a movie a day. I also went fort a nice long bike ride today I feel much better for having done it.

The trip to mount rainer with my parents was great. I even drove the motor part of the way. When we got there it was wet and when we left it was slightly less let. It was shower for the the whole time we were there. Thankfully one of the days my dad and I hiked up to 8750 feet up onto the muir snowfield and there was brillent sushine we got some great pictures of the head snowfields of the paradise glaciers and of mount rainer next time I want to go to anvil rock which is at 95...

Tomorrow is my last day working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Labatory. I miss the people and events at the same time I'm ready for a vacation. I'll be really really happy to do some hiking. My mom dad and I are going to Mount Rainer the week after next which I'm really looking forward to. Next summer I'm going to try and get a intership at UC Davis mainly because I'll already be going to school there so housing will be paid for and it won't be as stressful.

We had the Lawarence Berkeley Lab Poster event today. This is where all the undergraduate interns present their posters. They had a big room where you would velcro you poster to the poster boards and people would walk around and hopefully ask you questions about your poster. I think my poster was pretty good I had about 5 or 6 people ask me questions about it of course most of them were from the group I work in but I'm still happy about. Now I'm pretty much just wrapping up. I have to submit ...

Reading peoples blogs today at joeuser.com I found out that Sir Peter Maxwell had created a website for disillusioned joueser.com bloggers. I've seen this before at vbforums.com A group of people don't like the adimistration at the old site. They then create a spinoff site that may or may not be succesfull. In my experince this only happens when you have a site that forms a community of groups of people who like to chat to each other. When the point of the site is something extern...

I reading at how the only way to get good at writing is to write a lot. Sadly I tend to have a very strong internal filter so I don't write what I really feel. This makes it so I don't write much at all. I am going to be more like darmagirl and be blunt.
