It’s been a LONG time…

It’s been forever since I posted here..eheh. Thanksgiving’s coming up, so hopefully a little bit of “relaxation” (read: studying). Lynbrook Vertigo is up now, all nice and pretty. Probably one of the best websites we’ve had, if I do say so myself. Robotics is also starting up, both the club and personal projects. I’ve begun to convert my code from C to C++, just as an exercise in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and have run into rather (un)amusing bugs: “libm.a not found” (math library not found), “libArduino.a not found” (I was compiling it… and it said itself wasn’t there), and more. I’ve got maybe 85% of the functionality up, just missing the piezo and some display routines. Floating-point math still doesn’t work, so I’m forced to (as opposed to wanting to) use purely integer math.

I’m actually doing Science Fair this year, with my partner (not in crime) Cynthia! She’s totally awesome at math and science and such, so this should be good. We’re going to be making some distress radiobeacons, for search-and-rescue purposes. If we’re lucky, they might even work! I’ll try to keep everyone posted on its progress.

Also been doin’ some calligraphy lately. Not very good at it, but it’s good for my handwriting – I’ve noticed a marked improvement over last year. This should prove beneficial for APLAC and APUSH, both of which require absurd amounts of hand-abuse. Fun!

As a result of all this schoolwork and extracurriculars piling up, I haven’t actually gone to any debate tourneys this year (as of yet) =(! I’ll have to get to one soon. I guess I’ll try to write more later.
