So, right, here I sit, at work, with no AIM. I should probably pull up my MATLab project, and get it to figure out the difference between the string "4x^2" and "4x^10." How do you solve a differential equation with x^10, anyways? I get the feling it's going to take alot of logic. I like logic, and that may be the one redeeming aspect of this project. It's so... useless, and we're working it on such a small scope. I think it's because this is -supposed- to be an Engineering class, not a CSC class, so the Meatheads in the class (how bad is it when Engineers are the Meatheads?) need to be able to understand the concepts.
Either that or pull up Google and search for information on C-Compilers for my Programming Languages project. Now THAT's useless -- not only is the project (a 1-page typed report, I think) completely pointless, but it's so vague. Moche didn't even really tell us what she wanted. It was like "Uhm, yeah, I want you to research something, and then tell me something about it, and show how it has something to do with Programming Languages. Or something." O.o She's almost as bad as Abe, sometimes.
Or, it seems we also have a project for Operating Systems, where we have to use a Jave program to implement a Hash table of serialized objects and show how this method works better that the Java Serializable function. Or something. I'm told that'd due next Friday, but I'll have t'make sure. It doesn't sound complicated, really, and Java coding (while mostly useless) is always milding dirvirting.
We just took on a new guy over at CPIT, though he's not in it for the Programming. Not really, anyways. Seems he HAD been in the CompSci department, but shifted out or something. He knows Flash and (I assume) html, but he doesn't know ColdFusion and such. They've brought him on to do some of the converting from the old .hmt files to the new .cfm style (little-to-no CF programming necessary), which makes sense, as that's what I was originally brought on for, and I'm not going to be around starting after next week.
Uhm, right. I'm sure there's something to be done...
