Ok, Here we go.

[Aether]

Only 18 for me...somehow I feel cheated

[Dedrus]

21 slaves... I expected higher, honestly.

[Phoenix]

36. Though I do wonder about the methodology.

[BZero]

Yeah, I really doubt they can get those numbers very accurate based on those questions. I mean, wouldn't it be better to ask how often you buy X, rather than ask how many X you have? If you have two socks, but you've had them for ten years, you'll somehow have more slaves than someone who only has one sock, but buys a new sock every week.

[Phoenix]

Crazy one-sock wearers.

Oh, and here's my university internet speed when I'm wired into the network instead of using my wifi:

[Wingly]

That's some shitty wifi.

[Dedrus]

Well Phoenix, you have successfully turned me into jelly.

[Phoenix]

It's not as good as it looks. As a non-RA student, I'm limited to 500Mb of bandwidth a week before I get throttled. So, on those speeds I could max out my usage in less than a second. Fun times!

edit: also, it's been too long since I've just sat and listened to an album. I should remember to do this more often.

I recommend it also during exercise. I destroy whole albums when I do some long training for boxing or running. It keeps one's mind off the pain and the exertion once you hit your limit and go beyond it.

[Frei]

OK well here, have an amazing album for exercise or pretty much anything else. If you want an adventure, listen to this album. It's free and incredible.

It's pretty, erm, epic? When I'm working I tend to go for mellow music. Steely Dan, L.A. Noire's soundtrack (especially the songs by The Real Tuesday Weld/Claudia Brucken), stuff like that. Daft Punk, if I'm in the right mood. It would be great exercise music though.

I'm cycling through tracks as I write this and I'm liking it more and more. Good recommendation. Impressive for a solo project.

edit: who could believe that a single misplaced ";" in a c code could cause hours of debugging stress? Well, now I know.

[Aether]

Ah, that elusive ; - I feel your pain. I had a similar problem when I was doing programming at university. Had to almost read through an entire 3000+ lines of code before I found where it was missing...

[Dedrus]

Is it strange that I enjoy debugging my code?
Either way, it's a bad habit, if my college course is anything to judge it on. We're expected to write code and not debug it until we've written the entire application. Then we're s'posed to go through and report any errors we have and then finally fix them. It's ridiculous: that's not how it works in a real development environment. It's even more ridiculous that such practises earn us about a tenth of our overall unit mark.

I get an overwhelming feeling that the criteria for my IT course was written by people who don't understand IT.

[Phoenix]

Haha. I have the benefit of having a working FORTRAN77 code to do my molecular dynamics simulation, I'm writing a postprocessor to analyze the data. I've already written and got it working in Matlab, now I'm jut transitioning it to C to run on the supercomputer.

[Anty]

Boo? I'm back?
