l33tminion | A Mitigated Disaster

This morning was my one morning class, the lab portion of Software Design. We're using a version of python that runs on the Olinux operating system (a modified version of Red Hat Fedora Core). (And were all running different versions, which led Prof. Allen to say "I'm expecting this first lab to be an unmitigated disaster. That way, if it's mitigated in any way, I'll be pleasantly surprised." However, although there were a few bugs, things actually turned out pretty well.) The programs we wrote today manipulated objects in a Python based simulation that is very similar to LOGO (a drawing program where you manipulate a little "turtle"), which is a very good language for new programmers to learn programming concepts involving functions.

In the afternoon, the cohort met in the auditorium for lecture.

Then, there was a long (required, mostly boring, but sometimes very entertaining, despite everything) lecture on emergency first aid.

Afterwards, I did some homework.

I should get off my computer now, as I finally have some free time to socialize...

I'll write again later.
