school stuff

I finished the bulk of my second lab last night - I think. I need to go through it one more time to make sure it meets all the requirements. Probably does, and then some - I ended up experimenting with various queries.

Got my midterm grade a couple of weeks ago - a C, but a high one. I've got solid As on all other work so if I do well on the exam I think I can bring the whole class up to a B.

One week (really, a couple of days) left of coursework and then I start studying for the exam.

My brain has been pounding along like a piston engine - hope it can keep up!

Early morning humor

Found on a mailing list that has nothing to do with the military or strategy:

If World War II Was an RTS:

Stalin: hey hitler you dont fight me i dont fight u, cool?
Hitler[AoE]; sure whatever

......
tru_m4n: OMG OMG OMG i got all his stuff!
tru_m4n: NUKES! HOLY **** I GOT NUKES
Stalin: d00d gimmie some plz
tru_m4n: no way i only got like a couple

Also: If the Iraq War was an RTS

Disclaimer: No political, military, or historical commentary intended; I don't even know who created these. The l33t speak just tickled me :P

and how can this thing be?

It's raining. Or, at least, it's BEEN raining, on and off since about 6. Driving home from work: hellishly hot, still, and bright. Getting out of car: heavy wind, heavier rain and frequent lightning, sky with dark, "end of the world"-type thunderheads.

The temperature has dropped ~20F in the past 3 hours. It is heaven :)
