For the past few weeks I have been thinking seriously about heading back to uni to complete my honours degree.
Currently some of the team in Computer Science at Massey have been playing with JOGL.
I had a look at it the other day but didn’t get very far. Well tonight I decided to really get my hands dirty.
And it rocks! Im currently seeing if I can convert my traffic simulator to JOGL.
Will keep this blog posted on updates.
I have just been advised that the inspirational author of “The Last Lecture” and Computer Science Professor passed away earlier this morning.
He lived longer then he was expected to and now he is in a better place. RIP.

Two venerable C-strings drift into this bar. Says the first: “I’ll have a beer and a dA76hjh^-K…X00;] kg;’l”. The bartender is noncomprehensive. Says the other C-String: “Oh, don’t mind him, he’s not zero-terminated today!”
I am currently working on a complex website that requires two different companies on two different domains to share the same website. I have just mananged to create a piece of php code to analyse the domain name typed in and redirect to the correct section of the site for that company. Awesome!
$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if(strpos( strtolower($url), “site2″ )!=FALSE) {
header(‘location:site2/index.php’);
} else {
header(‘location:site1/index.php’);
}
It is not often that code makes me happy.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10455434 The article is about broadband speeds, and the image, I am assuming here, is probably generated automatically by a text filter. Because it is talking about speeds it has inserted a picture of a police officer with a speed camera. Just goes to prove that we have a long way still to go with AI able to detect context in sentences.
I am on cloud nine (to steal a commonly used quote from my GF).
I got informed today that for one of my papers last semester I scored 100%. In other words, 15/15 for Assignment One, 15/15 for Assignment Two, 70/70 for the Exam.
I am only the second person ever in the history of the paper to do this.
Now I just have to find a way to celebrate.
