One to go

Only one midterm to go now. Ever. Oh ya. I am pretty happy about that. It's Nov 18th, which really means that the prof doesn't understand the expression "mid term". Ah well. I think that sometimes he's a bit slow, he's had to use Excel too much. ;-) This is the same guy that gave us an extension 29 minutes after the assignment was due and the application locked us out. I sent off an email to him complaing about this. I was very, very mad at the time. I tried to word it to be nice though, and I think that the prof agreed because he wrote back (and this is the whole email): "well you try to be nice. A bonus is a good idea,". By the way, I love his email skills. I have not seen anything that beautifully written for a long time. *sniff*

I really love playing cribbage, but it is never one of the games on the computer. So I tried to find one somewhere, without too much success. I really would like a free one. So, I decided to look for an open source one to no avail. I found two projects, but they had not released any code. So then I thought "how to I learn best. By doing", so I decided to start programming a game for myself. I spent about an hour on it and made a couple classes. It'll be really done iteritively. Right now I am just working on doing the logic, and I am doing it in java with JUnit. I might have to switch later (depending what UI I want to put on it). I don't think that I'll do a Swing front end. Maybe SWT or XUL (if they can put Java as the back end). Or I might redo it in C#, but I'd have to get the env. for that first. But I don't really expect to work on it till Late December or January. I'll keep people posted and let you know what is happing if anyone is interested.
