So… solar is done. It was great and painful at the same time. But now it is officially over (well it was over a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve been recuperating…). The following is a little glance at the process:

So what do I do now? Go back to school of course. The first week I came back, I had an interim-deadline for a CS project, two exams and one homework. The exams and homework I mostly bombed. I had to drop a course. You see the trend…

On the bright side, I now have about an hour of classes everyday except for Monday and Friday which I have completely off. I also now have something that can fill up a nice little entry on my resume. I “was part of a team that designed a home automation system for a completely solar powered house that allowed the house to function efficiently” I also now have a name in certain useful places in the Engineering Department which is nice. I also made a bunch of good friends. So I think it was all worth it in general.

Going back to “regular life” is kind of nice. I’ve missed my other friends and (as weird as it might sound) my online type friends. I really did miss spending time with ya guys But as it stands now, I’ll be around more… whether that is a good thing or bad for some of you peeps.

I have realized that I now have time to work on random things like my website and the media center in the living room (all of which I shall probably be posting about soon).

The remaining courses I am taking now are Computer Architecture and Game Programming. Both are quite interesting. Game Programming is basically a semester long game project.

The Game Programming project is a lot of fun. It’s a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Read more about that at: http://www.entropy.pixelfaction.com

I recently found out that my power supply is apparently not enough for my video card. Which kind of blows. I’ve been having trouble with the card in higher-end games and I think the power supply is the problem. A good one costs about 250 bucks… so.. meh.

I’ve been drinking waaaay too much coffee….

I am currently addicted to TWIT.tv

That is all for now I suppose.

oh noes!! more poking! /me runs

peep! peep! ^_^
Exams and homeworks don’t matter when you’ve BUILT AN AWESOME HOUSE. Adi’s famous!

The interior is very pretty.

what… is that? lol http://gaddam.smugmug.com/gallery/3515574#198518311

Oh, I thought it looked like a thumbs up… or something of the opposite gender… ahem.

I guess it’s a bit of a stretch, and specific to people who commute in NYC, but I was also thinking about running & and yelling after the bus, and thinking about all those turnstiles at the subway stop–they make high-pitched sounds when you swipe/glide your card through them. And the cards are gold-colored.

Power supply?

Also, the turnstiles are silver-colored (brushed steel?), and being underground, they’re on “the other side” of the ground.

oh, nvm, the 20% from paypal thing expired already.
