Dateline Stanford: New Toys, Old Faces

Well, it's been a while since my last update. In the past couple weeks some cool things have happened here... for one, I turned 23 last Tuesday.

Also, I bought a CD Rewritable drive and some rewritable CDs so now I do a full backup of my computer once every week.

I also got an old PowerMac set up as a version control server (using CVS). So now I can put all of my programs in the server and keep track of changes very easily. It's also a huge help for team programming projects for class since it helps with merging everyone's changes together.

The other day I ran into Kurt Franke, a friend from high school who was on the math team with me. He's getting a PhD in Physics here after doing a dual major in Computer Science and Physics at Rice. Small world.

Obligatory sports news:

The men's basketball team clinched the Pac-10 title for the first time in school history (Pac-10 has been around for about 20 years).

Tonight, the women's basketball team beat Oregon... very intense and exciting game. Best attendance of all the games I've been to this year I think.
