So I've been keeping rather busy. This will be no lax quarter. It's my second to last quarter here at UCSB. Next quarter I'll start looking into game development companies, preferably in the Bay Area. Some people here and there are talking about looking into finding work after they graduate even this quarter. But that's so long! I don't really get how that's viable. Are there companies that want you to apply to them and then wait 4-5 months for you to finish with school? I don't see how that works, but I guess that's probably because I haven't really been following the norms that other people have been subscribing to regarding this sort of thing. Been busy working on stuff.

This quarter I'm taking a class on Java based Cluster & Concurrent Computing. It's been a lot of work, and I probably haven't been working as efficiently as I could - some playing around with games and such, some being sleepy, some getting distracted by talking to people here and there. Everything gets done on time but I need to step it up. I'm currently implementing a system not unlike Cilk that allows a job to be decomposed into short non-blocking threads in a directed acyclical graph that get distributed over a compute cluster using work stealing. Neat stuff!

It is taking time away from working on my research though. This weekend I should be finding out if our position paper is accepted to the Sketch workshop at CHI, which I'm sure we'll then talk about at a meeting we're having next week. Whenever I get time to work on my research project I make a lot of progress. It's going well! I haven't, however, had any time at all to work on From Dusk into Twilight. I was designing ships here and there but that's about it.

Also on Tuesday I'm going down to LA to see Tenacious D in concert! It's also a Haiti relief concert, which is cool. But I mainly just want to see The D. Also the Lynette figure I ordered some time back was shipped the other day. Looking forward to having that!
