Checked my account balance, and it seems the check with the deposit from my previous landlord didn’t bounce. Happy happy happy :)

Yesterday I hacked up a program to solve the “Countdown” maths challenge. It’s in Prolog, and can be found on the projects page.

Tracked down a bug in my procmailrc spamfilter thingie that have been bugging me for a while. Also, I found a way to greatly speed up the breeding function in my genetic algorithm library. To top it off, I managed to simplify many of the operations of my linked list library. Fewer test make for more efficient code, which is good. I’m happy :)

Yesterday I wrote a program in C++ for the first time in a while. It was yet another N-queens program. This one finds all solutions, but because there are so many permutations when we get above 11 queens, it will take a lot of time to run…

Yep, today I’m pretty happy. Yesterday I managed to produce a genetic algorithm solver for the N-queens problem. The program uses the GGA and Yalla libraries I’ve written. More information on the projects page.

This year’s grades were released today, but mine has not arrived yet. It’d be interesting to see what I got this time…

I’ve done several attempts at coding a generic linked-list library during the past few weeks. I’ve now managed to come up with something useful. I think… More info on my projects page.
