So much work (and fire!)
Long story short: I worked 19 hours laying out the gate-level schematic for the decoder in our 32Bit MIPS processor (I’m in a class and we’re going to build a processor, from scratch, that originally took 50 people over a year to make. We’re doing it with 26 in two and a half months. Welcome to my life at Mudd) I pulled an all-nighter to do this because it’s for a team project and I don’t want to let the other 25 people down or add delay to their development process. This would all be fine and good except that after doing all this, when I went to go demo it for our Prof my code library was corrupted and the only backup I had was 10 work-hours before the end. So I’m up again doing it. Again. It hurts.
On the lighter side of things I saw a fire dancing troupe do a show tonight and was pleasantly surprised to note that almost all of their moves were ones that MDonut and I had used when we were teaching poi. The one really impressive thing was the absolute physicality of some of the performers. Luckily I was able to grab a quick video of their most impressive piece of the night and so without further noise from me, here’s the vid.
