CST 205 - Week 4

This week was a very busy week for class! Our team successfully completed two sound labs, a string lab, and my pair programmer/teammate/teacher extraordinaire Sara and I finished our midterm project, which was to create two Instagram/Photoshop style filters. One of these filters was to create a "CSUMB" filter and the other was our own choice.

 Here's the two posters that explain what these filters do. 
Sara's bird is featured prominently as a model.

I feel like this poster is very aesthetic.

Additionally, we learned how to work with sound files this week. I found working with sound files slightly more difficult than images since there are more parameters involved, but I found the end result much more satisfying once done right. Maybe it's because I've been a musician my whole life(although I am in a extended hiatus currently), or because I've always been interested in sampling or finding out where samples in songs originate from. 

As I said in the beginning, it's been very busy, but I'm proud of myself and my team for working hard to get our assignments done. I'm looking forward to a great Thanksgiving break and our first team project together.

CST 499 - Week 7

This week, our group finished recording and editing our capstone project video and prepared our presentation for the capstone festival. Although I wish the capstone festival was held in person (and it could not due to current circumstances), I am excited to show off our project and hard work to other computer science students, friends, and family. I hope they'll enjoy it and learn something cool while doing so.

The Final Journal

It's the end of a long, four year journey, and what a journey it has been. I never thought I could pull off finishing my second bachelor's degree four years ago when I first went to that introduction to programming class at my community college. I would like to thank all the friends I've made along the way and the people who have helped me through the last two years. Although it was difficult at times taking class while working 40+ hours a week, I'm proud of myself for making it through. I don't think I'll be a student enrolled in classes anytime soon, but I'll always be a lifelong student. See you all around.

CST 499 - Week 3

This week, we finished our ILP portfolios and turned in the final versions of our resume and cover letter. My group also completed the first part of the capstone report. I'll admit that creating a portfolio showcasing my past work was not at the top of my priority list when I first started studying computer science, although at this point in my educational and professional career I've learned how important it is to have such a portfolio. Like other creative professions, having a solid body of work to show to a potential employer, or even for personal documentation is one of the best ways to display your talents as an engineer. Also, all the assignments I've completed during my academic career, both at CSUMB and elsewhere, have given me a good start to my portfolio. I tend to prefer classic, plain styling like  Brian Kernighan's  home page (he has a pretty nice portfolio too), although I've come to appreciate highly stylized portfolios that make use of WebKit ani...
