I just got upgraded from student employee to "graduate research assistant" at my university, which means a nice new salaried pay rate and a tuition waiver. So now I don't need to take any loans for grad school*.

Also, 1000th post :)

* technically I'm in the "concurrent BS/MS program", meaning I'll get both degrees at the same time. Also I was a math major at a different school for 3 years before transferring and switching to computer science, but this is my fifth year of college, first semester with any grad courses, so I guess I should just call it grad school now.

Thank you, Goko, for proving with your unassailable formula, that I am one of the best Dominion players in the world. All praise Goko!

Day 4 of having Google Fiber. It's pretty sweet. Getting used to a couple of features missing, but that's just the effect of change. So far the positives outweigh the negatives. Aw yeah.

Congrats. Did you follow a particular training program? I'm trying to work my way up to a 30 minute 5K right now; using the Couch-to-5K app. Like you, when I started I couldn't run a half-mile. But I'm definitely struggling to get past a particular set.

Mostly getting used to the new setup. The negatives have been pretty minor so far.

No clock on the cable box so I actually have to buy an additional clock in case our phones are more than 3 feet away.
There is no AMC in our lineup, since it's owned by Time Warner
When I fast-forward through a commercial and press play, it doesn't jump back a few seconds to account for the timing of when I see the commercial break ending.
There is no TV on demand like what Time Warner had.

Mostly, there were features that TWC had that I miss, but I'm coping with the losses.

Also, the speed is not nearly as blazing as one might hope. I expected this, actually. I read some articles about how Fiber does allow for data transfer of 1 GB/sec, but today's hardware limitations don't really allow that. I still have to contend with other servers (and since Kansas City is currently the only place with Fiber, I can expect slower speeds in most of my browsing). It's still faster, though, just not reaching that 1 GB number (yet). I like to think of it as paving the way for the future.

So, slightly reverse topic.

I work for a large multinational company. And each month they send out lists of 'Things to Brag about' which are highlights of the company and upcoming projects.

Just seen one from several months ago.

"CGI is proud to be one of the leading suppliers of the new Medicare Website"


Ooopppss...

I also did C25K, and I think I know which set you're talking about: that first time you have to run 20 minutes continuously.  I didn't think I could do it either, and I gave up once or twice.  But I trusted my body and just pushed through with force of will, and now running 20 minutes is nothing at all.

I love hearing stuff like this.  I hear so many people say things regarding there inability to run but so much of it is solely based off of them not doing it before.  As long as you have the proper mindset and dedication you can prepare yourself for most any type of running race. 

Go for the half marathon next theory!

As someone who consistently fluctuates in and out of shape, I mostly agree. When you just start out running, though, you really get winded fast. The bright side is that it doesn't take long to improve by a huge amount.

Immensely proud of myself today.

Helped organise a concert for my charity.

Filled a church hall with 300+ people, and a proper military orchestra playing oldie songs, film scores and the like.

Went off extremely well. Reckon we probably made over £3000

This weekend we played two Swedish National Championships of a game called The Spoils. It's a TCG similar to Magic The Gathering, so the two championships were Limited (where you build a deck from a pool of random cards, then top 8 drafts for the playoffs) and Constructed. While I failed miserably at Constructed during the quarter finals, I managed to win the Limited Championship. Even though there were only 15 players, I feel like bragging about it a bit. ;)

There might have been only 15 players, but consider the following: the rest of Sweden was so scared of your skills that they didn't even bother showing up!

Congratulations.
