With less than two weeks remaining in the semester, things are starting to get quite busy on-campus, both academically and socially. This post will detail some of the events that will occur during the next few days and will hopefully make up for expected lack of posts.
Tomorrow, former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw will be visiting campus as part of Hamilton’s Great Names Series. He follows such speakers as ex-president Bill Clinton, comedian Bill Cosby, and former mayor Rudolph Guilliani. As a senior HCEMS member, I’ll be covering the event and will hopefully have a chance to meet him. More on Tom Brokaw’s visit can be found on Hamilton’s news site.
Friday, the final copy of my thesis on scrolling PDFs with an eye tracker is due. I’m just now putting the final touches on the document and will hopefully distribute it to the faculty tomorrow. Along with a public presentation, the thesis is used to determine whether or not I will be able to gain honors with my Computer Science degree. Moreover, Friday also holds the last CS Smash of the semester, followed by a BBQ afterwards with the housemates and friends.

It’s been quite sometime since I’ve written in my journal, although with only a month left before graduation, it just doesn’t seem like a very important thing to do. A lot has happened since spring break in early March and I’m going to try and summarize some of the highlights.
Just yesterday, I got back from a three day, two night trip to Worcester, Massachusetts with two other students and a professor. During our time, we attended CCSCNE 2006, a computer science conference for small colleges in the North East. There, we showed off the research we had done on our Bluetooth Automatic Data Acquisition and Synchronization Software. It was an interesting conference, although not as academically rigorous as I had hoped. It seemed like a lot of the papers presented were more suited for an IT conference and not for a CS one, although it was interesting to see what issues were being faced by professors. Moreover, the general caliber of the conference, compared to Apple’s WWDC ones that I’d attended, was lower. Granted, this was a much less expensive conference and was of course aimed at a different audience. It was quite nice to get away though and the accommodations at the Crowne Plaza were more than amenable. Plus, we had the opportunity to relax in the evenings, sample a couple of more-or-less local brews, and just have some time to reflect on the future. Continue reading »
