All work, no play
I’m not gonna lie, this (and next) week sucks. I’ve got homework and a project due tomorrow, homework due Friday, homework and a test on Monday, homework and a paper on Tuesday, and another project on Wednesday. Oh, and I can’t forget to go in to work sometime too. I’ve been managing my time well thus far so things aren’t too out of control. The only thing I’m really scared about is my paper. I have such a hard time translating my thoughts into understandable English which makes writing a nightmare.
The project I have due next week is an NDFSM (non-deterministic finite state machine) simulator for my CS341 class. We only have to meet a small set of specifications for the project, but I’m considering extending the spec and releasing it as a side project of my own. Before we got to the point of being able to build our own simulator, we were writing out and testing input on these machines by hand, which was a pain in the ass. I scoured google and was able to find a decent simulator, but this one doesn’t handle epsilon-transitions which are critical to NDFSMs. Somebody might be able to make use of a simulator that was a little more powerful. We’ll see how much time I have…
