DCN455 - Day 1

Well, it's the start of day one back at school... And my first class with Hyder is basically term's about networks. Internet, intranets, mac addresses, bus, ip, pulse's and more jargon. I can't really keep myself awake to pay close attention, so i'm forcing myself to write this blog post + notes so i can read it later when I wake up a little more. Now the hardware aspect of data manipulation between processing and physical memory through bits in a clock cycle is a lot of gibberish to me, but i still find this fascinating, and that's why i am in programming :)

I'm going to stop this post here, because we (the class) have steered off topic, and now are comparing different binary bytes in hex, and how they are affected in a hardware model when accessing memory...

What to expect.

Hi, i've had lots of time to ponder what exactly i want to accomplish in my life. May it be some sort of business, or entrepreneurship, or maybe even development. I might even delve into the possibility of combining all three of those practices. No one knows for certain, but one thing i have to somehow grasp is determination. I'm not a straight A student, and it's not like i lock myself in the library until late hours, but i am a student none the less. I do try, and i exhibit great patience when it comes to what us programmers know more as debugging. I guess i'm just writing to myself, because i almost thought that my life wouldn't be going very far unless I pull my hypothetical shit together. But in all fairness, my life has just begun. What am i to say what i will be doing in 10 years from now. It's funny when you say 10 years, it reminds me of elementary school when the teacher would ask "What do you want to be when you grow up", and how things have changed over the years. I Humour myself when i think of a change in my career, because whenever i answered that question, and even to this day, I answer it the same way. I want to make cool stuff. That's exactly what im going to do, now, later, even 10 years from now. All i've ever wanted to do was create. Art, games, tools, but undeniably innovations. So, maybe it's worth writing your thoughts down, so you can sort out the shit which is a confusion of your set priorities, and what you expect to accomplish. If you're still reading this, I applaud you for your incredible patience. The only thing i guess im supposed to say to sum up this jargon of mental spittle, is Do what you want, emphasis on the DO. You can't wait around expecting for the DO to come. It's your responsibility to own the DO.
