Posted: 16 May 2012 08:14:15 am Post subject: Summer Goals/Projects 2012 |
|
|
It's the middle of May, and summer is swiftly approaching (or for some of us, already here). What do you have planned for the summer? Projects, classes, travel, new languages you want to learn, new hardware you want to build?
I'll start us off. I have several programming projects I want to complete this summer:
:: Finish and publish Sandpaper 1.0
:: Finish and publish Graph3DP 1.0 with the new gCAS2
:: Finish implementing link sending and TI-84+ support in jsTIfied, then integrate jsTIfied into SourceCoder.
I have plenty of things to do at work:
:: Continue working on Oolong. Implement some Belief Propagation applications, try out Primary-Backup failure recovery, and consider a descriptive language for halting guarantees
:: If my paper is accepted into APSys 2012, create camera-ready version and go to the conference in July
:: Figure out what my post-Oolong work is going to be
Finally, I have a few miscellaneous projects:
:: Finish "Programming the TI-83+/84+" and see it on shelves by the end of the summer
:: Finish Clove 3. Current bottleneck is the USB-connected wireless host and its software.
:: Continue working on Beaglebone/RedEdition project.
How about you? _________________

My todo list:
- Finish GlassOS as it is way overdue
- Give KermM a stable gCAS2
- Write a keyboard driver
- Work on a game on the PC, for the PC, not a game for GlassOS or made on-calc

Well as for me.
1.Get back into Calculator programming, and finish some old programs, and maybe get back into calcopoly. (Maybe)
2.I have a good chance at getting a job taht pays 600 dollars per month, tutoring a 13 year old 5th grader from england, working 12 hours a month.(50 dollars per hour)
3.Upgrade my PC, get 8GB Of ram, a new motherboard, and a new quad core proc (meaning new case)
4.On top of all of this, I have 3 months to prep for college life, as I graduate from High School in a matter of 10 days. I would invite you all to my party, but maybe skype or Tinychat afterwords is better. (pretty sure none of you live near me)
5.PARTICIPATE IN HAVECALC!! !(That is still going right?) _________________

Havecalc is still "on-air," yes.
My main plan is to get a second/new job and enroll for the fall semester of college. _________________

It's still out of the picture. One of my close friends got his first job in years so hopefully we'll be able to move out by next year. There's a law that's going to be on the San Jose ballot to increase minimum wage to $10 an hour, and it'd be a living wage so it would likely see an increase every year. So, that'll be a great boost in our search of moving out - if it passes.
Until then I can only save up for moving out and two jobs will help immensely. _________________

Comic: Budgeting yourself about buying new Apple equipment will also help.
geekboy: Do you have any specific goals about finishing any of said projects, or are you content with making incremental progress given your time constraints? What about finishing the CALCnet Axiom?
Blue_bear: Sounds like a solid plan. _________________

Kerm I hope to finish the calcnet axiom sooner than later
As for the other projects I hope to see some progress on cadan but that involves getting Iambian back in gear. Eh will happen in time  _________________ Cadan: CD : My (first?!?) mod of the cadan engine for a not so demoified version of the game :HOLD

I've been done with classes for two weeks already.
So, things I'll be doing this summer:
- Working on avionics (for significantly more than minimum wage) at Garmin.
- Freelance programming involving NFC, and another project involving Hadoop+Lustre.
Things I want to work on? (In rough order of priority)
- Finish building my divergence meter.
- Continue overhauling libfxcg and building Python for Prizm.
- Make a release of fx-imglib.
- Implement a general temporal buffer for shell pipelines (idea I've been sitting on for a while).
Ugh, that feels like a lot of stuff to do. I'm probably forgetting some things too.. _________________
