What's everyone up to right now?

Sittimg on a bus in rush hour traffic, thinking I need to move closer to work.

Sitting in Discrete Structures going over our exam. I got a 93%. Mixed up an adjacency relations and array pointer lists and missed 3 points twice.

Gives me a little leeway for a lab I got the desired result (in a rather elegant way, if I do say so myself) but used a forbidden method (I used an array of structs where I should have used a 2D Array.) I think it's way easier to read the code with dot notation rather than array indices, but I'm not grading it. Fuck it the program works and I'm not changing all my code around.

I don't know what data you're modeling, or what language you're using (C++?) but I'd generally prefer a struct to an array, and I'd greatly prefer to use a Collection (in a language which supports them) over an array, at least in cases that don't need to have the shit optimized out of them.

Simple arrays generally suck unless you're doing trivial operations on them.

It was performing a preorder traversal of a Huffman Tree, to encode the Huffman code with C++.

I talked with my prof and she really wants a 2D array. Not sure why. It'll probably take me an hour to switch it over. She wouldn't commit to a point deduction, so I'll probably just do it.

Watching a boring movie to pass the time. Is this what normal people do? I don't know how I'm going to pass the time living in a temporary apartment without my usual hookups.

Sushi, Deep River BBQ kettle chips, and water. Listening to a Flock of Seagulls. Deeply enjoying the customer service thread.

is that a band or an actual flock of birds?

Hah. I should have capitalized the article. I was referring to the band (though tomorrow I might see some o' dem birdies. Never know.)

Bloody fucking hell, Steel, am I supposed to remember all that high-falutin' college shit I took three decades ago? I haven't seen a Huffman tree implementation since skinny ties and Duran Duran were the in thing.

Being a pro and not having to reinvent the wheel: priceless.

Having a beer and wishing I had a different kind of beer.

Watching America's olympic dream fade.
