OK...CS project done. Banged head against implementation of circular queue. Finally gave up and did linear queue. I didn't notice much of a performance hit. I guess things are like that when you measure computational speed in gigaflops.

Went to Wal-Mart today. Got secure ID holder (old one kept letting my ID fall out, which caused much annoyance at Bogen's). Also picked up Virtuosity and Dark City on VHS for $3.88 apiece. I felt OK about Virtuosity, and curious about Dark City. I can live with burning four bucks.

I also learned of the beauty and coolness that is BitTorrent. Really fast downloads a majority of the time, unlike KaZaa, which I was lucky to get 25K/second (compare to >400K/second on BitTorrent). I have been downloading anime fansubs. Got about 30 hours so far. Will be getting more -- I need a more thorough grounding before heading to another anime con, lest Em kill me in my sleep at the hotel because of my ignorance. At least I am less ignorant than I was when I was at Otakon, and that's half the battle. (Maximizing bandwidth usage is the other half.)

Spiel game day tomorrow. Should be working on plays and whatnot. Hmm...it's not like I have to be there the whole time....

Anyway, to bed I go.

Dark City rocks my world. If you haven't seen it, I recommend muting it from the start until you see the guy in the bathtub, as there's a lame voiceover that takes a lot of the fun out of the movie. (Also, the ending is a bit lame. But it's a good flick.)
