The Summer of Employability begins… soon

In order to make myself a more employable me, I’ve determined through a highly scientific process of pure bulshitting, that I require the development of the following skills this summer:
1. DHTML
2. Flash
3. Java
4. PSpice
5. VHDL
6. Windows administration
7. Perl
8. Python
9. Ruby
10. More PHP
11. .NET
12. C#
13. VB.NET
14. TCP/IP
15. Windows networking
16. C++
17. DB2
18. Eclipse
19. CSS
20. SOAP
21. Advanced Linux Networking
22. LaTeX
Being able to obtain these skills will basically guarantee that I’ll be an attractive candidate for many Internship jobs. The problem is adequately developing them over the summer, and adequately maintaining them through the school year…
I also need to improve my skills in the following curriculum-related fields:
23. Signal processing
24. Control systems
25. Analog circuit analysis
It’s gonna be a library-centric summer – I can feel it already. And now, to study for the Lab Test in 18h…

Dead tired… or just dead

Wow, it’s been rather a couple of days. Linux course on Thursday, Eng. Musical (which ROCKED) on Friday, CIS test today… and work on the Commerce Project of Supreme Doom today and tomorrow.
All this on about 8 hours of sleep – a new personal best / worst. I’ve been caught waking up from naps several times in the IEEE office the past couple days, and I’m fairly sure I was nowhere near coherent when I did. Time for some sleep to rectify that.
3FI4 lab report and finishing of the 2MA3 project tomorrow. Maybe some IEEE work and room cleaning too – who knows.

It amplifies!

w00t! My amplifier no longer attenuates!
Now to push it past unity-gain…
