Soapbox-Spring 2006

Welcome to CS1316!
(This is "Java" the thinkin' and coffee-drinkin' bean)

Syllabus and Homeworks for the term are now updated!

OOPS! I forgot to fix some files in java-sources! Please see Announcements for an update.

Don't forget: QUIZ #1 ON WEDNESDAY, 1/25! FIRST TEN (10) MINUTES OF CLASS ONLY!

"Since the scene called for a stampede, we had to come up with a way that our animators could control the behavior of herds of wildebeests without having them bump into each other," says Johnston. "We developed a simulation program that would allow us to designate leaders and followers within each group. We were also able to individualize and vary the movement of each animal within a group to give them a certain random quality. Effectively they could all be doing different things with the library of behavior including slow and fast gallops, various head tosses and even a few different kinds of leaps."

Y'know, anybody can edit here.
Got any jokes?

AHA! I got it!!! WOO! So I found this on the internet and I thought it was mildly amusing. :)

"This is an object-oriented system.
If we change anything, the users object."

If anybody looked at the solution I posted for both flip and complex tracing from the
Exam Review yesterday or Tuesday, please look again...Thanks to an anonymous classmate,
I've fixed errors! ~Jim

Yay. Wasn't that fun!? Actually, that was a lot of tracing questions!
I shouldn't have said that I disliked them so much...

Check out Announcements-Spring 2006, please, and consider showing off your work!
Midterm grades are in WebCT

Note that PreQuiz 2 - Spring 2006 is posted...

I require a popsicle every fifteen minutes.

how many consecutive blowpops could you eat before you got bored?

I'd keep eating 'em till I fell asleep with one hangin out of my mouth... mmm

:( coweb all better now?

Random idea: How 'bout everyone post their availability on their who's who page...
That would make pair-making a good bit easier...
See ya Monday!
~Jim

Anyone not have a partner and want one??? Cause I would. :) Let me know! gtg122i
~Jennifer

I need a partner! I'm well-qualified and can work wednesday and or thursday afternoon. E-mail me at john.ward AT gatech.edu

I kind of sort of want a mac mini.

I heard they are hard and expensive to upgrade though.....

I want a computer that doesn't freeze when I have two tasks running....one can only dream...

I don't have a partner yet, I know, really late...

but there must also be someone else without a partner
so if you could email at gtg288w or IM at krazyemma16 that would be amazing
I would like to work tonight, and I'm sure we'll get a lot done in class on friday

the weekend!

dance your cares away
worries for another dayyyy
let the music play...

Um...where is the prequiz? I thought it would be posted today......

Yay, quiz next Monday

sweet.........

1315 NOW OWNS YOUR SOUL AND YOUR SITE!!!! YOU MUST PAY TRIBUTE TO THE GREATNESS OF JYTHON THROUGH PHYSICAL SACRIFICE – I REQUIRE ONE KITTEN SLAUGHTERED ON THE FULL MOON AMIDST THE CHANTING OF THE ELDERS AT THE STUDENT CENTER WHILE BEING DOUSED IN TOMATO JUICE AND MAYONNAISE – traditionally we'd use alcohol but everyone is underage and we don't want to break any rules – AND DANCING THE BOOTYLICIOUS FROLICK OF THE WANDERING PIMP ALONG THE FOUNTAINTOP. IF MY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET, I WILL HAUNT YOUR COMPUTERS ONE BY ONE UNTIL THEY ALL CRASH AT MIDNIGHT, LEAVING YOU BEREFT OF ALL YOUR STOLEN MP3S AND ILLEGAL ANIME. I WILL BE SATISFIED, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Underage? Speak for thyself, my friend.

I haven't slept in 10 days. because that would be too long...

Only 10 days? Let's talk after another month or so...

Want to TA for this class? Or 1315? See Announcements
Um...I think your link is a little off....

So it was–thank you! Fixed now.

It's Spring Break! Enjoy! Relax! Don't read this message!

This message will be changed on Monday

And then Spring Break ended. :(
and slacking begins...

Slacking began back in January...

Slacking isn't for everyone :(

Of course not. Slacking is only for slackers.

Nah. Being a slacker isn't for me–takes too much effort.

Wow.. active slacking.. that's a concept. haha.

Please excuse your regularly scheduled discussion of slacking for a brief pedagogical message:

Midterm grades are posted.

Please feel free to return to your in-depth, reflective, and scholarly discussion of the benefits of slacking...:-)

yay for spring weather! i want to go outside and blow bubbles!!!

You can...as soon as you finish HW8

:( *sighs* well, okayyyy...

:( We're already in the "Past Semesters" page!
How time flies...

But...we are not the past..we are the present...impossible...
	I was demonstrating how one sets up "Past Semesters" page – no temporal discontinuity implied :-) Mark Guzdial

For last minute simulation questions: I'll be available tomorrow (Friday) from after class until 2 pm in the Student Center, and I'll be on IM mjguzdial@aol.com tonight. Mark Guzdial

Or indeed, the REMOVEDldren of the Corn!

CORN EXPLOSION!!!! AHHHH! NOOOO!!!!!! (dies)
I don't think God uses Java

Everything I grow dies! WHY?!?!

Yes! And hurry, before Hw9 starts!

I fixed the HW9 turnin – it's due 10pm tonight.
Want to watch cute lil doggie robots play soccer? The US Robocup Soccer tournament is this weekend, over at TSRB. http://www.robocup-us.org/ Come see! All are welcome!

(Mark Guzdial)

PLEASE!

http://www.coursesurvey.gatech.edu

ok.

PLEASE! :)

http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs1316/304

ok. Sure. Can I get extra credit for it though?

EXTRA CREDIT! Go fill out the Final Survey now available in WebCT. You get 1 point on your Final Exam grade for EACH question answered, total possible 5 points. All answers are anonymous–WebCT just gives me a list of who did it, and a list of all answers. Mark Guzdial

YAY EXTRA CREDIT! Every point added to my final exam grade is a point closer to passing this class..

PLEASE help complete the Final Exam Review!

ok. I'll try.

Why would you have trouble passing??

Cause I'm bad with computers. And my HW average suxs...HW1 still hurts to this day...

Five of us should put our CS rings together and summon Jim to aid us

Jim where are you?? We need your help!!!

Jim or someone please answer the Final exam Review!!!!That would be glorious!

no fear. Some of us are about to begin looking through the review right now and will post answers

Folks. REMOVEDll. Go read the rules at Final Exam Review Spring2006 again. I will not post answers. Figure out the problems. I'll tell you if it's wrong. Mark Guzdial

1 hour to go till we rock it!! Yeeeaaah!!

bubbles! :D

Where is Jim and his signature consummate answers?

all done! : )

Hurray! Summer time now!

So, are we going to know what we got on the final?
There's not a space for it on webCT...

Do you really want to know what you got on the final? I don't. That would ruin my summer vacation.

I did upload the final exam grades – I made a spot for it next to the first midterm grade. Check again. Mark Guzdial

Hmmm... I just checked–I still don't see it. I wonder if maybe it hasn't been made 'visible to students'?
I know that was a problem with one of my other classes. At any rate, I don't doubt that you put the grades up,
I just can't see mine. :(
