Pug’s Place

Today I’ve been awarded my first Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I’m now a Gator Alumni. Somehow this fills me with amusement.

This time next year I should have finished up the remaining 21 credit hours for my Master’s of Science in the same field. So, what will I be taking? Here’s the plan:

• Spring
  • CAP5615: Operating System Principles
  • CEN5540: Computer and Network Security
  • COP5255: Concurrent Programming
• Summer
  • COP5555: Programming Language Principles
• Fall
  • CDA5155: Computer Architecture Principles
  • CEN5531: Mobile Computing ??
  • CAP5510: Bioinformatics ??

All are 3 credit classes. Depending on what’s offered next summer this might change slightly.

I’ve been doing a little Gpremacy coding over the past two days, it’s been exceedingly slow. It took me 3 days to get a development environment working in Windows, for one thing! I finally had to write a NANT makefile to compile it. Additionally, Eclipse’s support for C# is horrible. I’m really missing the somewhat buggy Monodevelop - it might have crashed occasionally, but it at least did proper syntax highlighting! Also, the GUI approach to CVS in Eclipse is complicated. I’m still figuring out how to make it behave… Still, I’m hoping to have blind bidding in before Friday, when Chris arrives. A real release will probably wait until January when I’m back in Gainesville.
