It's yearlight savings time! Yes, that's right, I accidentally set my calendar forward an entire month instead of my clock. That's why there's no entries in March and we're suddenly in April. Dang. I have to lower the effort it takes programmatically... how? Email entry? LJ scraping? I already have a thing which does that, and leaves text file LJ droppings all over these directories. I intended to make them appendices to actual entries. IF THERE WERE ANY, HA HA.

All joking aside, it's been damn busy! I program a lot! I get home and program! I go to work and program! I made some kind of crazy frequency-training game in flash! I'll be posting that as soon as I figure out some kind of scoring method. And, um, I programmed... a thing at work! Which I released on time! Too bad we don't get "ship it" awards where I work. Then again, it's not through QA just yet.

I have been thinking: I should go back to school and get as many degrees as I can. I want to go through the education system until my brain fails. I want to see how far in the system I can go. I can probably take a lot of learning, and so I should. I am figuring out how to stay alive and go to school at the same time. The most popular method seems to be: use someone else's money. Parent's, government's, or maybe a bank's. Probably not for me. Next method: part time work. That's where I'm concentrating my efforts.

Also on the agenda: re-learn all those mathematic properties I haven't been using and thus forgot. I got logarithms pretty solid, though. That's what you get for working with pitch and dB scales.

I'm trying out bedtimes. It's fifteen minutes past mine. I had a little trouble keeping it when it suddenly jumped forward an hour this weekend, but I'm recalibrating now.

Why the sudden interest in school? It seems like everyone I know is back in school. KRISTOPHER, my bestest friend, started an audio engineering course. BEANIE, my oldest sister, is in 1st year Law school. IAN, my little brother, had some kind of self improvement epiphany, though it might be more about being less fat than education. But I also heard that my interviewers thought I would be a really great programmer... after going back to school. ouch! I suppose that's what I get for not knowing how to sort an array in linear time. I really should go now.
