Well, well, it has been quite awhile since I have last written a blog post to the masses. Since then there has been some very awesome updates in the world of technology that I have been unable to give my opinion about (not that anyone is actually reading my opinion). The last month has been a busy time in my life. I finally have a change of scenery and have moved across the Passaic river from Newark, NJ to Kearny, NJ in a much better apartment (and area). I cannot even begin to express how great it is to finally have a bed to sleep on. You do not really know how much sleeping on a couch, mattress, in your car, at your friend’s place, really sucks until you have to do it for two months of your life.
My tenure at the New Jersey Institute of Technology is about up. I will be receiving my bachelors degree in December as long as I do not screw up any of my classes. As it looks now the only class that I have to worry about is Physics II, because I absolutely loathe electric circuits and the such, but I have a good feeling about the next exam so I think all will be good. Last week I taught two classes on Linux, Boost, and C/C++ to some capstone students at NJIT. Capstone students are essentially students that are working on their senior project (or thesis) to graduate.
At the beginning of September I made the concise decision to get off my ass and start getting my life in gear. So along with a controversial hair cut (went front long hair to short hair) I went and began putting out my feelers for contract (and consulting) work to pay some bills. I am currently working on a project for a friend of mine, have one or two personal projects in the pipeline, but unfortunately nothing that is paying some green yet. We’ll see how that goes.
That’s about it for the quick read. I am going to make an effort to post some more blog entries when I think about it. Most of my bright moments happen when I am not near a keyboard.
