$10 in this week’s guaranteed winners drawing at Jackpot Rewards, the online lottery site I wrote about a few months ago. I’m still gaining entries into the weekly drawings for hundreds of prizes, including a $145 million jackpot, with the help of the network of friends that joined through my referral link. If a $3 [...]
I’m a little late mentioning it, but I was an expert reviewer for SitePoint’s latest kit, the Website Revenue Maximizer. I got my name in the credits, a mention and screenshot of W3Counter in the appendix, and a few other bonuses for myself. It’s a huge binder and CD with information, forms and reference for [...]
I got busy with school work at the end of the term and didn’t develop anything notable to write about. But I’m here. A week and a half ago I graduated with my BS in Computer Science from Drexel. Last week I started moving to a new apartment, which I’m still working on. Once I’m [...]
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I had joined Jackpot Rewards, the online lottery and cash-back shopping site with a weekly $1 million sweepstakes. It’s still the best odds anywhere for winning a million dollars, and you get extra tickets when any of your friends have two matching numbers in the jackpot drawing that [...]
As of this week, I’ve been accepted to masters programs to study computer science at University of Pennsylvania, University of Delaware, Lehigh University and Drexel University. Now I have to decide where I want to go.
Quite tangential to everything else I’ve been doing recently, I wrote my first ray tracer in C++ today. It can render arbitrary triangle meshes defined in SMF format. Next weekend I’ll teach myself shading.
I heard back from UPenn — I was accepted into the MSE program by the Computer Science department. I haven’t heard from the other schools I applied to yet. W3Counter’s got a new website ready to go up getting committed to the repository now. I need to finish the changes to the service that go [...]
A new company backed by investors Peter Lynch, Chuck Clough (the former chief global investment strategist of Merrill Lynch) and other big names from the Boston area offers a $1 million weekly lottery with a guaranteed winner. The site claims the best odds ever of winning a million dollars, and also runs a drawing for [...]
Apparently the people I asked for letters of recommendation are worse procrastinators than me. I gave them all at least a month’s advance notice, and two reminders, and got them all back exactly two days before the March 1st application deadline for some of the graduate schools I’m applying to. 26 envelopes, $8.49 in postage, [...]
I took the GRE today. 610 verbal, 770 quantitative (math). Good enough. Now I need to actually fill out the grad school applications.
