Intro C++ Course

I decided, back in July, to take a C++ introduction course during the upcoming semester.  I initially registered for an in-class course at Durham College, but I found out the day before the first class that the course had been cancelled due to low-enrollment and instead ended up taking an online course with Ontario Learn, through Durham College.

New laptop!

I bought a new laptop from Dell just before the new year, and it arrived today!

Finding the right laptop for me was pretty tough.  I did a lot of shopping, and the options in Canada are very lacking compared to the US.  The main thing I was looking to upgrade from my old laptop was the graphics card.  The last machine had an integrated graphics chip and although the computer wasn’t great in the first place, the graphics were by far the weakest link.

New Year, New Site!

Happy New Year everybody!  I felt it was about time for me to make an update to my website, as in overhaul it.  I found I wasn’t updating as much as I would have liked, and I thought the reason might be because it just was too much of a hassle.  I decided to look into what this whole “blogging” thing is that the kids these days are raving about, and I’m glad that I did.
