Russian class is going pretty well. I’ve had a number of one on one classes now. Some of it is getting a bit foggy due to all the word ending changes.

My computer science class has had its ups and downs. I did a great job bombing the last test. My mind was elsewhere for the exam. I think its safe for me to post the code to program 3. I rounded up 6 bonus points on that program. If I heard correctly, my program was the only one to handle all 5 test cases properly. Program 4, the last one of the semester is about done. Its functional and could probably be turned in as is. But I’m going to poke at it and polish it up a bit. This time I documented the snot out of it while WRITING the code, versus last time when I wrote the code and then went back to document it (that sucked).

I’m working on testing out of Applied Internet programming. The paperwork has all the needed signatures, I just need to pay up and take the exams.

Whoo-hoo! I’m working on the last programming assignment for DSA2. It can be found here: Adventure.doc (its a Word file).

Its a pretty involved program. I’ve been working on it for some time now. I think I’m building the graph properly and the debug output makes sense. I think I’ve sorted out the GUI to the way I wanted it (nothing fancy – in fact, its a bit retro). The only thing that worries me is implementing Dijkstra’s Shortest Path algorithm. (Think I’m going to take another look at it to get clues if I built my graph right or not.)

For the UACSC web dev team, I’ve installed the forum here: http://www.rsbauer.com/phpBB2/ The discussion will be geared towards getting the club’s website up and running and hopefully learning some tricks along the way.

She put up with learning about binary search trees so she could go swimming at the U. Akron pool. The material gets pretty dry, but the class itself was entertaining.

Turns out one guy managed to persuade his phone to run my J2ME slicing floor plan project. Only problem was I had hardcoded the screen width and height because the display class didn’t have a way to identify the available screen pixels. Another check today and I see the form and canvas classes both have a way to get the width and height. I put together a quick fix and it tested ok on my Nokia emulator.

Swimming was a blast. We went up and down the lazy river (its a lot harder to go upstream!). We did a couple loops in the whirl pool and then shot soom hoops. Then we gave up on playing hoops and just played catch instead. Then Olessia went and did some laps in one of the swim lanes. It was very refreshing…
