Another day in Blacksburg

Well its a typical Fall day in the burg, er blacksburg… ;) (see rant below)… its rainy and windy… although between all of my classes and lunch it has been sprinkling and i havent been caught in a down port yet *knock on wood*

Currently we are all sitting in class and the proffesor is 7 mins late… wonder if he is going to show up… ill give him a few more minutes… i believe 10 mins is the right time to wait… wait, he is here… nevermind…

Currently i am working on a couple projects for class, both of which are some what interesting… the first one is a hardware project where we have to take a binary input in the form of excess-3 and light up a 7 segment display according to the inputed number, fairly simple except for one catch, we can only use NAND gates and inverters, which actually isnt that hard just requiring more thought… The other project is a software project where we input 2 polynomials and subtract and multiply them, simple you say? well we have to used linked lists which can be tricky sometimes… I hope to finish this project tonight or tomorrow and finish the hardware project by next weekend…

In addition to the two projects, me and trav still have that annoying proposal to do… hopefully that will be the last nagging thing for engineering professionalism due for awhile…

I think i am going to go home either this weekend or the weekend of the 15th since we do not have homegames either weekend and i need a haircut and get some stuff that i forgot the last 2 times i was home and of course to see someone ;)

Well i suppose i am going to go surf the news and see whats new out there…

later

    Hey man, I was just checkn out what u have been doing. We had to do a 7 segment display also. I’m currently learning VHDl to program circuits. Sounds like good work over there. Take care. - Gregory Vitello
