Back to the ROC and brick

I'm back in Rochester, back at school. I've already gone to all my classes and they've been good. I've had two of the professors before (Carithers and Dalal), and I liked their teaching style. This time around I'll put more effort into their classes, so that should be good. The other two seem interesting enough (although my AI prof is both dry and unintelligible) and should provide for good classes.

3 out of my 4 classes are in building 70 - the new CS/IT/SE building - and I take notes on µ in HTML in them. Therefore, I'm generally online in those classes. I love technology.

I've been switching between various wireless devices recently, from my phone to my palm to my laptop. As such, I've been shuffling my online habits to accommodate that: using IMAP more frequently (on µ and my palm), I set up an email address solely for my phone (not entirely sure what I'll do with it), and started using Rawdog to read all my various blogs/sites.

Also on the software front, I added theming capabilities to my schedule system. I put together a nice "white and teal" theme that's actually readable on my palm. (the blacker theme is too black). I'll eventually switch all over to iCalendar. Maybe. I like certain features of the current calendar/schedule system as-is.

Oh, and now that I'm back at RIT I'm rediscovering how much I missed my crazy friends here. Julie, for example, is Very Cool™. Hopefully I'll meet a bunch of other random-crazy-cool people, as there's bound to be at least a few at a school mostly populated by CS/IT and photo majors.
