First Blog Entry

September 2nd, 2009 by pb3972

Well, here I am doing it. This is Peter Baum’s University of Texas Blog started at about 1:30 AM on September second 2009. Theoretically, I would use this to write about what things are happening in my life or whatever, but that doesn’t really seem like the kind of things I will do.

For the most part I am probably just going to be writing a blog entry once a week or so for CS 371p, so look forward to it.

So, it has been one week and I have been to class 3 times so far with another coming later today. I don’t have the book, so any quiz questions pertaining to specific information I have not come across in my studies I will be at a loss to answer. I will probably just write something sassy instead. This class is in C++, which I am not especially familiar with. I do know Java quite well and have some C experience, so I don’t think it will be much problem. The biggest problem I think I will have is fluidity of my programming, which should correct itself after a project or two. I am partners with Scott Grant. (maybe; we talked for about 15 seconds at the end of last lecture. Might even talk to him again today.) Well, that is about all I have to say about that for now. Next entry will be about Collatz.
