I’ve finally managed to get some work done this week, and I’m hoping the keep on a roll. I just found out that today is the first Thunderbird Bug Day. I feel Firefox Bug Days are really effective, and help clear through a lot of different bugs on the platform. They’re also a great way to become familiar with the large codebase, and learn how development decisions are made (in real time) which is pretty exciting. The action’s taking place in #bugday on irc.mozilla.org. Also, the Mozilla Addons site has been given a slick visual refresh.

Supremely busy right now. Thinking over my application for Google’s Summer of Code, working on Common Lisp, studying for Linear Algebra, and hopefully finally getting paperwork through the bureaucracy of Chapman’s Student Employment office. I’m stoked to start working at the Networking office, it seems like I’ll get a lot of hands-on time and learn a lot.

Moral of the story: Get shiz done time.

 Yes! I got bazaar working Finally, I can start reporting my 5 bugs a day.

Anyway, in regards to the topology problem, my professor is programming some crazy optimized shiz in Python. I figure my only chance to one up him (and multitask) is to write it in Common Lisp. Since that’s what I’m going to be writing my project for Programming Languages in, it’ll be great experience. So far, I’m thinking I’ll be able to take advantage of lists and cons to construct each possible topology. I’ve got a whiteboard in the Math Department Lounge covered with some ideas, so progress is being made.
