That's the conclusion I've reached. After jumping through dozens of hoops to finally get everything to a point where it pretty much works as you'd expect, they light one of the hoops on fire and put it over a shark tank. And the sharks have fricken lazers on their fricken heads.

Conceptually, what is the difference between a Sequence and a Sorted Container? Answer: The fact that you specify the order of a sequence, while the sorted container decides on its own where to put things. Its a bit of a simplification, but overall I think that really sums it up.
With that in mind…

When designing my iterators, I pretty much just went to the C++ standard [chapter 24, Section 1: Iterator Requirements], and copied it. That worked great, the end results were quite pleasing.
Initially, I did the same thing with the containers. In fact, I did the same thing with containers before …

In the wake of the untimely demise of my car, I've lost my will to do much of anything other than play Baldur's Gate, a game I find entertaining but ultimately rather klunky and poorly executed. Being without a television, however, its all I've got to satisfy my need for some role playing action. …

First of all, if you at all enjoyed Super Troopers, go see Beerfest right now. I have never in my life heard an entire theater laughing uncontrollably at the same time until this movie. I have heard individual people laugh, and had the occasional "ha ha ha ha done" laugh pass through the croud, b…

Windows is back. Hooray! It was even easier than I thought it would be...I envisioned losing all my data and having to reinstall all my software, but all it took was putting in the new harddrive, loading it with the ghost I made before things went up in smoke, and performing a repair installation …

A while back I got bored and decided to develop a CLR compliant version of the C++ standard containers library in C#. In particular, I wanted to see if I could get iterators working. So far, my success has been rather promising. I've got Vector and List working, with a rudimentary Set implementa…

Life is certainly strange. Some fourteen months ago, I was graduating from a respected university with two sought after degrees. Today, I am posting from a library [twelve minutes left on this session, I had better hurry], preparing for my next shift at a local Dairy Queen.

Before I begin, I want to make something clear. In my entire life, only two books have produced actual physical responses in me. One, The Shining terrified me, and resulted in nightmares for several days. The other, The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy, caused me to literally drop the book becau…

So I'm down to my last week. Interestingly, I discovered this site early in my first semester [I lurked for several months before registering]. So if you've been paying close attention, you could probably trace how my beliefs and opinions have been changed by the college experience by running thr…

I'm off to take the EIT exam. With any luck, the next time I'm turned down for a job, they'll be turning down an apprentice Engineer rather than a starving college student.
Unfortunately, I'm going to need a lot of luck. I'm going to crash and burn, hard.

So I just spent a week building Gentoo. Not quite set up all the way yet, but I'm getting there. I use Gnome because its easier to say than KDE, and after all the hassle building the damn thing, the last thing I want to be worried about is how to pronounce my desktop manager. The whole process w…

This has been a hellacious couple of weeks. One assignment after another after another. They have a real knack for drowning me in work just when I start to get excited about a personal project.
My favorite assignment is the final project for my Algorithms class. There are three parts: the overa…

The CSM football team has now won thirteen straight games, and are the RMAC champions for the first time in school history. I don't follow football, but its pretty exciting none the less. And to think, if I were attending a four year school, I'd have graduated already and missed all the fun. We …

Still figuring this stuff out. I think I found most of the stuff yesterday. The default theme is the only good one [no offense to the creators], and I managed to get a simple little avatar. I recieved my first commment [yay Mushu!]. Pretty productive, all things considered.

So I found the money to support Mother GameDev, and so I have done so. Now I'm figuring out how to use all the cool stuff I have access to.
I do plan on using this as a project journal, so I'll go ahead and introduce myself first. I am Conner McCloud [not of the Clan Macleod, so don't ask], and I …
