IRC Meeting 1

Well on tuesday our team (TEAM TEAM) had our first meeting with fardad over IRC. Despite one member being late, everyone showed up which was good to see. The meeting itself was quite laid back as it was over IRC. Fardad essentially went over what was common practice for IRC, the lingo, how meetings are held, and so on. To say the least it was a good first meeting. I like the idea of being able to sit in the comfort of my own home and have a meeting with my whole group, aswell as the teacher. Doing this makes it much easier for communication between our group. Having IRC also gives all of us one common place to discuss our projects aswell as casually interact.

On another note, our group has grown considerably. We started out with 3 of us originally, and its turned into 6 now (possibly 7 as I just got an email from someone requesting to join our group). everyone thus far out of the 6 of us tends to seem quite easy going, which is definatly a plus. Also its nice to see that everyone in my group attends class regularly aswell. All in all I have high hopes for our group and am pretty excited to start the first assignment!

Well fardad is talking about how define works and so on, so I should probably pay attention.

Thats all for now,

Class canceled....

Well i was all hyped up for some OOP344 today, but unfortunately the class was canceled. Hopefully Fardad is better by next class, or else i dont know what Im going to do with myself.....

Patiently waiting,

And so it begins...

Well today was the first day back to classes after an almost month long break, and surprisingly enough, im glad to be back. Mondays are by far my worst day, being about 7 hours straight. But despite the long hours at school, it looks like class is going to be pretty entertaining. Now to get to how this blog came to be.

During my first class of OOP344, our teacher proceeded to tell us that he was trying something different this semester, and that we would be the first full semester hes tried this idea on. He explained how the class would be focusing on open source concepts, and how we would be undertaking programming projects 20x's bigger then we have in OOP244. He also told us that all projects would be done in groups, which is both a sigh of relief, and a potential future full of grief. I say this because I have worked in groups in the past which, sadly, have mostly ended in arguements and someone slacking off. Im going to attempt to stay optimistic about this and hope for the best!

All in all, im quite excited about this semester, the teacher seems to be quite entusiastic about the material and encourages class participation, quite different from the usual programming class im used to. Cant wait to get more in depth into OOP344.

Until next time,
