I returned to class just this last week and its already feeling normal. The surprise of this semester has been the Parallel and Distributed Processing class, I find it really interesting. I'm not sure how useful it will be for Amarok, the race conditions in Amarok are far more intricate then anything we'll deal with in class. I'm looking forward to the unit on pthreads.



I turned in my application for graduation today. Using this online system thats somewhat hidden I already determined that I should have marked myself as taking two 300/400 electives next semester, but I suppose they'll tell me that. But anyways the bottom line is that I'll be graduating May 07 easily and that I don't need any more Computer Science classes. I very well might take one next semester to fulfill the one of the elective spots, though Truman is a Liberal Arts university so taking Spanish Conversation and Ancient Roman History (I was assured by a history major that it is an easy class, but you learn a lot) is sounding appealing as well.

We were planning on holding off on 1.4.3 until the aKademy. However there were a few pretty serious bugs with 1.4.2; people were unable to build collections in some circumstances. Post-1.4.2 has been a very good development cycle overall - to turn a development release into a stable release all I had to do was turn off the DAAP Music Server and hide the Moodbar feature. And Moodbar is in-fact quite stable now, it just isn't finished so we wanted to hold off on releasing it publicly. (The DAAP music server still doesn't work with iTunes due to the weird HTTP requests that iTunes makes which causes problems with Mongrel HTTP library its using).

So... please digg us.
