This morning I had my first lecture for the new semester.

159.734 Intelligent Systems.

The lecturer enters the room and announces that he is taking the paper because the lecturer who was meant to be taking it had moved to a different uni in Singapore and then announces how much he does not like the paper and how we know just about everything in it already.

Therefore he will be renaming the paper to 159.736 Studies in Operating Systems and we will be doing an in depth study of one operating system in particular: Google Android OS.

I just about fell off my chair when he said this. Not only do I have a brand new cellphone, one of only a handful in the world running Android, I am now doing a whole paper on it at uni. How cool is that.

At the moment there are going to be two assignments for the paper one on building a device driver under Android say something to run bluetooth. And the second assignment will be building some awesome app for the OS.

I now wonder if I can claim my new cellphone back as a course related cost. ROFLOL.
