Brain Dump

Leaving for the airport in less than an hour. Should be on the ground in NYC by 19:00 or so. Sweet.

I’ve managed to slam out almost all of the homework I would normally do this weekend, and I’ve gotten taken the exams/quizzes I’ll miss and gotten ahead on my reading. This is all remarkably responsible of me. I feel like I might be grown up or something, which is somewhat frightening.

Once I get back from this trip I’m pretty much done with the serious organizational duties I can be involved in without getting letters back from grad schools. That means serious roadtrip planning while I wait to see who wants me to spend two years with them (please let it by NYU). Considering how excited I am about a weekend trip to NYC, I’m sure you can imagine just how much I’m looking forward to this summer.

Randomly, because it’s on my mind, I have to develop an XML/JSP web application for one of my classes this semester. I’m thinking I might try to do some sort of web-based roadtrip tracker that will tell people where I am and let me blog with attached location markers and possibly with photos attached. Of course I’d have to do simultaneous development for PHP and JSP because the course calls for JSP, but PHP has so much broader support that it’s really not feasible to deploy a JSP application for general public usage, and that’s what I want to do.

Anyway, if you’re in NYC and want to hang out this weekend, do give me a call.
