cheers & jeers

cheers

So I found out a couple evenings ago that I got the internship with Google. I would start sometime in mid-May and finish up sometime in mid-August. It would be good fun though it is mildly disappointing that my friend (Danny) that works for Google wouldn’t be there during the time I’d be there. He’s finishing up his last semester of college andwill be arriving there about the time that I would leave.

I’m excited and anxious all at the same time, dealing with getting myself a place to sleep will be interesting. Maybe I can just sleep under my desk and shower at the office? ;)

jeers

I was less than pleased with my grades this semester. I ended up with a B+ in both Algorithms & Software Eng. This could change though for Algorithms as I emailed the professor and he said we could speak about possibly getting me an A- which would be great.

Software Engineering on the other hand, I apparently bombed the final. That puzzles me but I’m going to meet with the professor. Surely I didn’t do that poorly? I’m not a bad student…

notes

Anyway, back to programming on wine :)

first patch

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

So after many failed attempts I finally got a pair of patches committed to wine. You can see them here and here. I’m finding that the more and more I learn about wine, the more and more I get addicted to working on it.

The code, compared to many projects written in C that I’ve seen is very clean. The community is helpful and there’s always something to do since I’m pretty sure there’s a sizable 40-50% of the api thats not completely implemented yet.

Hears to exams and coding.
