Recreational Waste

This weekend i bought myself some time by giving away the best book i'd begun reading in months - i'm quite certain he will get more out of the book than i would have as i barely know my nouns from pronouns, let alone transitives from intransitives.

Not wanting to study statistics, i spent Saturday revisiting an old concept - a class project from 1997, a program that parsed WCC's web-format class schedule (1997 auto-generated html, shudder), prompted a user for the desired classes, and finally figured what sections of those classes fit together time-wise. It took 3 of us 6 weeks to finish this final project and during that time i was continually up from about 10pm to 4am writing C++, much to the chagrin (i'd like to think amazement) of my girlfriend. This time it took me a day to implement most of it in perl.

So what do i have to show for 11 years? New and improved (and faster) ways to waste time.
