Grad School

Posted in Life, Programming, School on January 6th, 2008 by brandon – 1 Comment

Tomorrow I start a new phase of my academic life. I am enrolled as a graduate student at Kennesaw State University. I will take me approximately 5 semesters to attain my M.S. in Computer Science.

Am I crazy? I may be. I’m even taking the thesis option! That is a huge freakin research project that I have to defend! However, I think I’ve narrowed down my field of study to something that interests me quite a bit. Who knows, I might discover something that changes something in the world of Computer Science. I’m excited to start this and then ponder where I will go to work on my Ph. D. or Sc. D.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Tomorrow will also be the 6 month anniversary of being married to my wonderful wife :) Its also my parent’s 25 year anniversary. Wow, a lot of stuff is happening tomorrow.

Well, its off to Petsmart and to the grocery store soon.

So, for all my faithful readers, here is my monthly update!

We arrived in Marietta, GA just over a month ago and began a new adventure. Married life is GREAT so far :) I am loving it so far. Work is going well, a lot better than the previous office I was at.

In other news, I’m staring a new programming project. I’m not going to release many details right now, but keep your eyes pealed for an extension on the site. I’m excited to finally have an idea for something to develop and bring in a few friends to help with the project.

Other exciting stuff is 3 concerts in 3 months starting on Saturday! Coming up is Derek Webb, Caedmon’s Call and then Derek Webb (w/ full band and his wife, Sandra McCracken) I’m uber excited to go and see some amazing musicians and hang out with my wife!

So, its time for me to crawl back in my hole and hide for another month.

Contribute

Ok, I just installed the trial version of Adobe Contribute CS3.  I can now add and edit posts from my computer as well as edit the layout (when I get Dreamweaver).  Since this is the trial, I have 30 days to use it; but I have some software going to be shipped to me soon.  That software has Contribute CS3 in it.  I can’t wait!!!!

I can’t believe how well this works and I’ll be working with this software and seeing how powerful it is for editing my site.

I would suggest the trial version to anyone and the software itself isn’t that expensive.  For those students who read this, academic pricing is quite nice.

New Features

If you will please notice the right side of the page you will see my last.fm recently played list. I’m currently working with AJAX and the latest in web-technologies to bring you some nice features.

Now if you will look towards the bottom of the sidebar, you will find ways to support this site. Download Firefox, put google ads on your site, or click the add to help support me. I’m a college student so any support is much needed.

Thanks!
