You push the body, it soon pushes back
After a somewhat lack-luster year of training. I've managed to develop patellar tendinitis. Not fun.
I've cut back pretty significantly on training for about 3 weeks. I've shifted back over to high intensity weight training. My knees feel stronger this week and I gathered up the courage to work on an elliptical trainer. Swimming is also on the agenda.
Semester
It's been a rough semester. My account at the university was hacked into two times (along with about 10 other people in the class) which resulted in some pretty "piss poor" performances on my homework assignments (I love how the systems get hacked into right before project due dates).
The midterm was so-so. The final project was somewhat interesting, but, overall I just really wasn't all that mentally intrigued by the subject matter.
The demon of expectations reared it head. I had an idea of what we'd be doing in the course and it turned out we ended up just reading papers. Not really what I'd call an engaging semester.
I'll be wrapping up a paper this afternoon for my final and that will be all she wrote.
Ideas
I've been plagued by ideas lately. There's a PTX LLVM project idea I'm considering working on when there's spare time. A lot of PTX-LLVM opensource code is floating out there - I started picking around with LLVM and was impressed with the density of the system.
The orthographic/dialect identification work really took off nicely and I'm considering writing a paper and extending the concept over into a morphological variation detection.
A data set change up is in order b/c the proprietary nature of the input data set I've played with at the office isn't really doing me any favors.
I've started digging into a personal finance book that I've meant to read about a year or two ago, along with a couple of other books I've been "meaning to read".
Master's of Doom has been an incredible. I'd recommend checking into it.
Tonight I'll be seeing Black Swan and Saturday I'll be road tripping up to Delware to visit the Dogfish Head brewery. Should be a great time.
