So, I have a 12 page paper to finish for a class in computer ethics, due on Tuesday.  I also have to study for my final stats quiz (tomorrow night), and get in applications for the Google Summer of Code (I hope to be employed by either FreeNet or Linden Labs — FreeNet because I’m doing a lot of research into the underlying technology for the aforementioned paper, and Linden Labs because I’m doing a lot of work based around their technology for Dante’s Second Life and for the Mageforge Virtual Sanctum — so I’d be getting paid to do what I am fully prepared to spend most of my free time for the summer doing anyways).  There isn’t much hope of me being accepted, as I didn’t bother to do research into the SoC project before now, and the application deadline is April 5 — not enough time to talk to the organizations before I submit my applications.  As a result of my classes, I get to miss my friend’s wedding tomorrow night.  By the way, if you read this, Congrats Fern and Adrian!  I’m also trying to plan around my tax return so I can finish the hardware side of some of the projects I’m working on — wearable computing and robotics.  If anyone knows a cheap source for MCQV111AFB ASIC chips, let me know — I have about 40 Kopin 320M lcd panels which I can’t use until I find the chips, and I can’t find the chips for less than $70 a piece.  Work on Dante’s Second Life is continuing, but slowly — next update will include either multi-threading or random motion code, as the mood takes me.  Anyways, tomorrow is rapidly becoming today, so I should wrap this up.

Ciao!
