Programming et al.

Today I broke open my programming lab for this week and was greeted with the best thing in programming since user input, pointers and, more specifically, dynamic variable declaration. This was something that I have wanted to do ever since I wrote an application that took the average of a predefined number of grades. I got really excited when I read about that and I still am, even if it is actually pseudo-dynamic. Needless to say, I am having fun in this class and I expect that this summer will be filled with a lot of programming.

In other news, my brother dropped by my apartment last night and we had a pretty good time. We played Halo: Combat Evolved on Heroic from 22:30 to 03:00 which is quite impressive for people who haven't played the game in ages, myself specifically who hasn't played anything but RPGs in the last 6 months.

Also, a few days ago, I acquired a Lodge Mfg. cast iron griddle/grill combo. It was just as bad as I had read it would be and did a better job as 20 grit sandpaper than it did as a nonstick skillet. I intend to season it further using the methods of Sheryl Canter, but until time comes around I've been getting by by cooking my food in too much oil. At any rate, I am enjoying having half of my stove-top dedicated to eggs, sandwiches, fish, pancakes, etc..

And lastly, if you are awake and interested, I do a rotation on WTTU Tech Radio every Saturday Night 23:00-00:00 CST.
