RantTV: Internet TV Worth Watching

RantTV: Internet TV Worth Watching: "currently one episode, which you can download"

Since I don't have TechTv here on campus, since G4 bought them out and not broadcast over the cband. So as another option I been watching some of the great shows on Rantv.com over winamp. They talk about wireless stuff on seatle wireless and Kevin Rose from TechTv has a show called The Broken which was awsome. The first show is downloadable http://www.thebroken.org/ They sit on a couch and drink beer and talk about hacking and stealing pizza. It reminds me of the first few years TechTv when it was more of a underground type show and they could get away with a lot of things before getting to commericalize.

Change of plan (or plane) and thesis update

Me and Mike Usselman are going to fly down to LAX Tuesday August 24 and hang out with Venkatesh Tatineni. Mike will be back on Monday August 30, if we book a plane so he can be back in time for the start of school and his class. Thats about 6 days or less of hanging out with friends. Should be Mikes first time on the plane, should be different.

Thesis have to get it reviewed again, and probably rewrite a little so my teacher would think it is better. I'm having Venk take a look at it right now and hopefully should be done. I also set a date for the defense to be August 4th maybe around 1:30pm or something. That is also the day of another orientation. I got to get my car fixed so I can go get a suit and haircut.  

Added some comics

I added some comics to my comedy page. These are some comics strips that I made last year (and one is from a friend, Venk).  Enjoy.

Flight Travel Made

I just booked my ticket online at southwest airlines for about $120 to fly from Albany, NY @ 6:50 AM to Baltimore, Maryland @ 8:00AM then from Baltimore, Maryland @ 9:35AM to Los Angeles, CA @ 12:00pm. It will be a Friday, August 27th. Now I got to try to ship all my books, computer stuff, and misc. stuff to California.  

Thesis 99% done, Presentation 50% done

Almost done with the thesis, I have to change the names in the thesis to reflect the committee of professors (Roger Cavallo, Rosemary Mullick, and Jorge Novillo), and delete an empty page, then I will pay .50 cents to bind them. so if everything is alright tomorrow I'll probably make 5 bounded copies ($2.50) 1 for each professor and 2 for myself. I'm just hoping they like it. Roger asked me if he was going to enjoy the thesis. What am I suppose to say, I wrote it but not satisfied-- am I ever going to be satisfied with it? He also said it was a coincident that his son ,whom I think is going for his PHD, was also reading a Barto book (Sutton and Barto write a lot on reinforcement learning). and asked if he is mention in my thesis. I said yes of course.

Car & Thesis

Ok, the car not working again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the 4th time this summer, hoping it can be a simple battery problem and not something with the starter again.

I asked Roger Cavallo and Rosemary Mullick to be the two professors on my thesis committee. I'm having Keith Johnson still read and mark mistakes, I'm hoping to get the thesis in to them sometime tomorrow so they can look at it, and I begin to hope everything is alright.

No Need to Click Here - I'm just claiming my feed at Feedster







MTV.com - Onair - Dyn - Assistant

MTV.com - Onair - Dyn - Assistant

Just got done watching MTV's "The Assistant" with andy dick as an asshoe with several assistants trying to please him. It was some of the funniest stuff I seen in a while.

I went to see my advisor today, I just had to change the margin to more width and little other little things. Im having keith johnson edit my bad english in my thesis, I also went through one more time making sure my logic was correct throughout the paper. I should have my defense sometime early next week.

I still have to get my plane ticket sometime before Aug 5th if I want to get it cheap for about 115 dollars.

I got most of the power point done, but have to time it to see if it takes about 30 minutes with the program examples.
