2 Summer projects

[Danger Fan]

Hey all. Now, as some of you may or may not know, I go to a 5 year school, and it goes year-round (we switch off between classes and "co-op", a paid internship thing). I'm currently in classes for the summer. I have 2 big projects to do for the quarter, and I just wanted you all to see what I'll be up to.

Advanced Operating Systems: First half, we (my group) will be implementing a "Unix-like" filesystem without the notion of disks. For the second half, we will implement the disk. It's going to be done in java. We were given a shell file with a bunch of methods and such. We have to actually code the methods. I think this will be a bit challenging, but fun and interesting.

Object-Oriented Design: I'm not sure what my project is just yet. We were given a sheet of about 35 different projects, ranging from creating parsers, small checkers game, chat client, web browser, etc. We have to pick 5, and we will have a lottery to see what project you will work on. It's going to be done in teams of 2. We have to not only code as the quarter goes by, but also write update reports, and present them to our professor weekly.

So this is gonna keep me pretty busy for the next 3 months. Plus calculus 3 and Automata theory on top of it, it will be a hectic quarter.

Sounds like a lot of fun to me
Though I don't see how 4 classes at once could ever be thought of as "hectic" :)

I have a 5th class, non-CS related. :)
There's just gonna be a lot of work to do this quarter. And being the summer, I'm not gonna want to do any.

List your projects on www.colance.com and have the summer off :)

I loved calculus 3. It is much easier then calculus 2, and much less dry then differential equations, number theory, linear algebra, or Gausian geometry.

I've always wanted to write my own OS though...

sounds pretty advanced, i am looking for a college right now to goto that supports that kind of stuff. What college do you goto? (is it in the states?)

Was that intentional?

don't get into the habit of writing unstructured code. It's a hell of a lot of work to get undone. And its just plain old dumb.
