Fluff
I just missed the 0920 bus which would have gotten me to class on time. I missed it because my computer's time got off by a few minutes a few days ago and I hadn't bothered to fix it until just now. What have I learned from this? If I don't shut off my computer, it's time won't go off. Therefore I will never turn this beast off again, feh.
Well, things have been going alright. I will be doing a fair amount of voltage analysis of the typical CMOS inverter over the summer for my mini-research project. After I finish with the inverter, I'll probably move on to NAND and NOR gates and investigate some assumptions the industry has been making about delay in multi-input gates. All of this involves heavy simulation using SPICE, a circuit simulation program. I know, sounds like fun, right?
As for recent events, there was a BBQ at some point on the weekend involving friends from high school; it was sad that not too many people were able to make it, but it was good to see the people who did. I think Ave has pics from that night, but who knows if or when he'll ever post them.
A few of us also went karaoke in the recent past. I have but one thing to say : I was not nearly as drunk as I should have been for that. It was fun all the same, but next time, more drink is needed I think.
