As you can guess from the title, I found out that Zot’s system board needs replacing. It’s being ordered now. The screen needed to be tightened, and part of the case needed to be replaced. Not everything was covere, but Pete had Toshiba issue an exception code. Hopefully I’ll get my laptop back soon.

Project 2
Correctness: 10
+) File is read in successfully!
+) Good you did error checking when user wants to add a voter with the same
SSN as one existing voter. It is the same with polling places.
+) Very well done! Program is correct and robust. I wasn’t able to crash
it or get it to misbehave.
Style: 10
-) It would be better if you print out the voters or polling places in a
nice format.Use the String.format()
+) Very nice user interface! But you can still improve it by giving user
information regarding whether or not his/her operation is successful.
Furthermore, if the list is empty, print something to tell the user about it
if he/she would like to list the voters or polling places.
+) Well structured. Good you broke the go() of VoteUI into several pieces
+) Good you have proper comments
+) Good you have all fields private
+) Good naming for methods/variables
*) A minor thing: I don’t think it is necessary to create a MenuExecution
class since the VoteUI is enough for dealing with command execution.
Furthermore, all the variables related to the operations are all stored in
the VoteUI, it is not necessary to pass all of them as parameters to the
MenuExecution.
Project 3
I think I finished project 3. I’ve never finished early before. Still need to add comments and such though. Maybe do some more testing just to make sure. Yay.
Now I gotta do math hw, reading and a critique by Thursday. And study for Friday’s midterm.
HW, Bondfire
I’m pretty talkative. And apparently, the amount I talk is proportional to my BAC.
I went to math lecture today. Gotta go to everything because the midterm is on Friday. CSE midterm is next Tuesday. I don’t have homework due until Thursday, but I have reading, a critique, and math hw due Thursday, a midterm on Friday, and a CSE project due Friday. The project’s due at 11:59 PM on Friday, but I want to have everything done so I can go see LNP.
Bondfire was tonight. Only about 11 people went. I had fun though. Lots of climbing on people and generally gay behaviour. And I ate a smore. Mmm, smore. When we were leaving, I opened my car window, looked at all the expensive homes, and yelled “Veronica Corningstone and I had sex and now we are in love!” Then we drove away rather quickly.
Okay, I’m off to do hw.
Partying
Had a good time last night… times seven or eight maybe. Made a big mess in my room… dirty clothes everywhere. I had tried to get my shorts out of my hamper but ended up spilling it everywhere. Couldn’t make it on to my top bunk either. Quite a bit of falling down too. I went upstairs to talk to Jackie and ended up sleeping in her room. Jin wasn’t there so I used her bed. Good times.
BJ’s, Love Actually at Gemma’s, The Grudge at Mom’s
On Friday I went to BJ’s for Stef’s birthday. I went with Stef, Sarah, Tim, John, Andy, Vince, Chris, and Jon C. While we were waiting for a table, we went to a music store. We all got carded for being in the adult section. At the restaurant, John and I kept watching two young, attractive women (mid-twenties?) with children. Sarah filmed us after we ate and shot the two women too. Then she filmed us from a distance (from the other side of the women) to get them from another angle. It was pretty funny. After we got back, I hung out for a while waiting for Gemma and then went to Gondolin to watch Love Actually. It was loud there though so I didn’t catch a lot. I’d like to watch it again. Right now I’m at my mom’s house, and we just watched The Grudge. That was an awesome movie. Really great.
Zot
Pete gave my laptop to the repair center on Monday. He gave them the following instructions:
The unit boots intermittently and displays inappropriate characters
during the POST phase of boot and while in the Windows Environment
The top cover assembly is loose
The plastic on the left side, closest to the back of the unit may be
loose
The unit overheats periodically (even while sitting on a smooth surface)
leading to shutdown without notice. At these times the bottom of the
unit is very hot to the touch.
To do a software recovery of the hard drive when he has completed the
hardware repair.
To call me here or on my cell if the issue is NOT covered under
warranty. In this event I would have a Channel Account Representative
here issue an exception code to have the unit repaired for free.
If possible to deliver the unit to Peter at UCI.
I called today, and they had just checked it in. They said they’d call me back in a couple of days. Hopefully it won’t take too long.
CSE 22 Project 2
Project 2 was pretty fun, but come Monday night, I was stumped. It turns out I was creating new iterators rather than passing around the same one. Then I realized that my linked lists were referenced in two classes, but they weren’t the same linked lists. I fixed everything and finished my commenting at 11:56. Had the whole thing uploaded by 11:57. Two minutes to spare. PollingPlacesReader.java didn’t work though. Oh well… maybe I’ll do better next time.
Live Nudes, Dinner, Hemp, Lanyards, No Fear
Haven’t updated in a while. MT keeps fucking up when I add new entries, which makes me not want to update as much.
On Friday I went to see Live Nudes with Gemma, Jackie, Jin, and Alison. It was a lot of fun. We got to see one new member of LN, and she seemed pretty good. The theme was justice. One person who dressed up was Justice Man. He wore paper bags all over himself and had a justice fist, a fist on an umbrella. He could press the release button to shoot his justice fist forward. Everyone loved him.
Last Saturday I went out to dinner with Pete and Mom. We went to a restaurant called Scott’s. Holy shit it was good. We split calamari and crab cake, and I had a caesar salad, medium rare filet mignon with mashed potatoes and green beans, chocolate riot cake, and lots of coke. The filet mignon was so pink… the center was like dark red. It was amazingly delicious. The meal came to over $220. That’s just crazy, but it was so good. I was so full too… man, I haven’t had a meal that good that I can remember. Damn. That night we watched Thirteen Days. Great movie about the Cuban Missile Crisis.
When I got back to the dorms, I found that there were a lot of drunk people. I don’t want to go into details on what they did who they were because I don’t want to get them in trouble. However, I will say that there was some crazy shit. Person A pulled paper towels out of a toilet that person B was pissing in and proceeded to throw them at person B. Crazy.
On Sunday I went to a hemp jewelery workshop. It was fun. I wasn’t that good. Oh well. We also made lanyards. I took six pieces of extra string so I could try to make something else on my own later.
I found a Sobe No Fear in the vending machine yesterday. Eric said it would make me all jumpy and crazy. I didn’t think energy drinks actually worked. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really give me energy. I like those Adrenaline Rushes, but they don’t do anything for me energy-wise either.
