Absent Minded.
I'm taking the time to write this as I've just skipped a lecture for a pretty unskippable course. Reason - I've trying to finish of an assignment for said course and a mixture of overloaded printers and my own absent mindedness has made me go overtime.
Before I get to far, Mr b^3, I have got some results and everything printed and will hand it in, so it's alright.
Right, I got in nice and early this morning, sat at the computer and got to work, didn't stray by the wayside of blogs, but dug straight in. Fixed my code (did you know that if you forget to increment your loop counter it goes on forever?) and did some major fiddleing to get some results out of it. Ended up hand doing some bits to come up the the damn graph, but it was there, I had done it, now all I had to do was to print out my lovely fixed and commented code. Select print, hit the right buttons and hear the printer whir. Wander over to it, oh someone else's job right now, gosh those are a lot of slides, come back later, the printer is sounding like it is finished that job, join the little crowd of people around the printer waiting as it whirs to start the next job, wait, is it mine? No, it's more bloody slides for one of the fifty people in the room who won't even come over to collect their job so we can throttle them. Oh well, this to shall pass, then 'beep', out of paper. I'm ok, really I am, I brought my shuffle along with me, I'll just move my code to it and nip up to the library to print it out. First I'll log out then grap the iPod and my stuff and beat a hasty path to the library. Find new computer, log on, insert iPod, select and print file. Hang on, that's only two pages, I was sure it was three. Uh oh, that's my copy from this morning, before I fixed it. In order to actually save something to the iPod, you must eject it before logging off. Hurriedly fix what can remember, know it isn't as good as it was, but there's little to be done now, hand retched assignment in.
I knew today wasn't going to be a good one, but did it have to start like that? Thank God I tend to code with lots of laying out and comments, instead of doing all that latter, so it at least looks half decent, even if it might not work.
Should probably go to next lecture.
