+12:50 < matches> ECM sent me an email about 2015 Final Year Project preferences...
+12:50 < matches> NO
+12:50 < matches> I already did this!
+12:50 < matches> They also sent me an email about submitting vacation work reports
+12:50 < matches> I didn't do that yet!
+12:51 < matches> This is what you get for totally ignoring the recommended degree progression
+17:17 < Pommers> Guess who has card access through the main door for CS xD
+17:18 * sulix is filled with a jealous rage.
+17:20 < Pommers> hehehehe
+17:20 < Pommers> Pretty sure I now have more Access to CS than both of you :D
+17:54 < matches> They'll probably be glad they get to revoke our access at the end of the year
+17:54 < matches> Doing other assignments is a nice distraction from the project although in terms of time investment it is not wise
+17:54 < matches> In terms of time investment the correct approach is to fail everything else
+17:55 < matches> Although that didn't work so well last semester
+17:55 < matches> (I didn't actually fail but my marks got consistently lower :(
+17:55 < matches> I don't know how to bracket that

+18:12 < matches> My report scores a Flesch Reading Ease of 42.30
+18:12 < matches> Which is higher than "university graduate" and lower than "13 to 15 year old students"
+18:13 < matches> It scores a Flesch-Kincaid Grade of 12.44
+18:13 < matches> I guess that means it is high school level...
+18:13 < matches> That isn't as reassuring as I'd hoped...
+18:14 < matches> At least I'm beating "an average 6th grade assignment"
+18:17 < matches> My physics thesis is 39.90 and 12.99 indicating my writing has gotten dumber, as expected
+18:19 < matches> Yours is at 46.06 and 11.39
+18:19 < matches> The question is, what should we be aiming for...
+18:21 < matches> That was an interesting but not particularly productive diversion into readability of documents
+18:21 < matches> (I think the most this test can conclusively say is that we did indeed write some words)
+18:21 < matches> (Many of which had more than one syllable)
+19:40 * sulix shall have words with "an arbitrary number of syllables" in his thesis.
+19:41 < sulix> Also, it turns out printperf has a big #ifdef QUADTREE_DISABLED around it.
+19:41 < sulix> Which explains much.
+19:59 < sulix> Did you know: when rendering with GMPrat, sometimes the debug text displays the bounds as being totally wrong for a frame, and then they're back to normal.
+20:00 * sulix has found something even more fun than watching paint dry: watching gmprat render.
+20:16 * sulix now has a graph: http://davidgow.net/stuff/ipdf-gmpqttest1.pdf
+20:54 < matches> Cool
+21:16 < matches> That looks very similar to the turtles graph I just got
+21:16 < matches> Except qtree isn't on it
+21:16 < matches> Path-gmprat is my favourite
+21:29 < matches> Ok, I know it's only 9:28 but my clock says 5:28
+21:29 < matches> So that counts as bed time
+21:30 * matches tries not to think about the asignment due tomorrow or the 3 weeks of assignments that need to be marked before students start to hate me
+21:30 < matches> Or, for that matter, how he is going to explain Quantum Mechanics...
+21:31 < matches> Or CoderDojo...
+21:31 < matches> I must be getting old
+21:31 < matches> Back in 2012 I could work on my thesis until 5am and still be awake enough to do my other assignments :S
+21:32 < matches> That might be a slight exagerration, I think there was a large amount of feeling like death involved
+21:36 < matches> I used to know the quantum number selection rules off by heart too...
+21:41 < matches> Ahh, the amazing HTML formatting of the quantum mechanics webpage
+21:41 < matches> The memories
+--- Day changed Sat Oct 25 2014
+11:26 * sulix will not be able to make coderdojo today, for obvious reasons.
+11:26 < matches> Ok, good luck
