Geoff's Miscellany

1. Learn what needs to happen.
2. Stare confusedly at the screen.
3. Learn individual classes while wishing for robust and unnecessary comments to help noobs.
4. Write first piece of code meant to contribute to a serious project.
5. Realize that one particular piece of it requires you to be familiar with scripting languages you do not know.
6. Start again at step 2.

Recently I’ve made a major change in my life direction.

I’ve mentioned it before. I am pursuing an engineering degree. One of my favorite things in the whole world is open source software. Not just because its free. But ever since I was in high school, the notional of editable software has really intrigued me. I’ve never done much with it other than use it. But, there is a mathematical programming suite called Scilab that functions similarly to a very useful, but very expensive program called Matlab.
