I think it's crunch time. It's that time of the school year when everyone and their mother wants my attention. For those of you who may not know, I am currently on Academic Probation. AP means that I got under a 2.0 in one semester (last one obviously) and that in order to get off of it, I need to score a C or higher in ALL of my classes. So there are three weeks of school and one class that I seriously need to score high on the final. I guess I will be reading a lot of psychology books before the end of this time.
Additionally, my fiance and I are in the process of moving to St. Paul. We will be living pretty darned close to the Saints stadium so if you want to hang out or something call.
Some of the neat things I have done with technology recently are:
1) Play with a mac that had a 32 " monitor.
2) Build a chat server and client in python.
3) Rebuilt gentoo on my laptop (IBM T 42)
Some interesting research I have read recently:
1) "Illusions of Competence in Study" by Koriat, A. and Bjork, R., located at : http://research.haifa.ac.il/~iipdm/personal_homepages/Papers/illusions_of_competence_in_monitoring.pdf
2) "Stanford Prison Study" by Zimbardo, P., located at : http://www.prisonexp.org/
3) "Cyberstalking, personal privacy, and moral responsibility" by Tavani, H. T. and Grodzinsky, F. S., Available through ACM.
