• Fan Programming Language
  A new multi-paradigm language that runs on the CLR and JVM and provides its own APIs that abstract both. On paper, it has some really nice features, and is pushed onto my stack of languages to explore.

I’m done!!!

WOOHOO! It's 3:30pm as I type this after finishing my final exam.

April 16, 2008, I'm officially FINISHED MY UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES! YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYAY!!!!

It was 2 days short of 4 years ago that I first hinted at going back to school. Then on April 29th, I said I was going to finish what I started.

And now I've done it. Fuck you doubters, especially those inside my head, I did it just like I said I would, and I would be screaming my head off right now in celebration if I wasn't writing this inside a computer lab at UVic (I left my computer at home).

Now is as good as time as any to announce that I have been provisionally accepted into the Faculty of Graduate Studies at UVic (subject to grades, but that's a formality), and I'll be starting my work towards a Masters degree (MSc) in Computer Science this September!

It's going to be a long summer, I'm looking forward to this as much as I looked forward to going back to school in the first place.

Now, it's time to PARTY!
