Week 8 Progress

FINISHING MOVE!!! (source)

Howdy everyone. It is I, Dubbz of the Nitro, here again with another blog post.

This neat little gif is from a show called Gurren Lagann, directed by one of my favorite directors in animation, Hiroyuki Imaishi. Everything he makes is pretty much the same, but his style is different enough from everyone else that he can get away with it because it fits into its' own niche. 

The reason I chose this picture is because the main motif of the show is about continual improvement and getting a little better every day until you are able to reach a lofty goal. I think that consistency and determination is very important, and relevant to today's blog post!

I usually try to stay a week ahead in this class so I can have a buffer in case the workload of my other classes suddenly increases, which is what has happened this week. I looked at my gradebook and I've got a little over half of the points, but I'd like to finish this class early so I can focus more on my other classes in the last few weeks of school, so I think I'm going to start doing 2-3 extra credit assignments every week, as well as staying two weeks ahead instead of just one week ahead. I think that will be easy enough to do, it's just a matter of not getting distracted or putting it off.

Well, that's all for today ladies and gentlemen. Until next time, I'm NitroDubbz.

    That gif you posted looks really cool. I may need to checkout Gurren Lagann. I have never heard of that show before. I liked how you related the show back to your comment! I like that you set a goal for yourself to stay two weeks ahead! For me the hardest thing is staying focused. When I start doing an assignment I always get sidetracked on the Internet. Good luck with everything though!

Introduction for NitroDubbz

image source Hello everyone. I am Nitrodubbz, the computer engineering student. You may know me from my other blog posts, such as: "my favorite place". The coolest thing about my major is how it makes companies want to hire me. Ideally if one of these companies wanted to pay me in exchange for my brainpower and hours of my life, I would just invest almost all of my income into real-estate and collect rent to supplement my income. Hopefully I move somewhere where housing is cheap, and the Federal Reserve's interest rates stay low.  I guess I'll talk about books now. I recently re-read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It is a pretty good book. The book is absurdist, filled with contradictions now known as Catch-22's, a term coined by the novel. These contradictions exist within the well-defined rules and command structure of the USAAF, the predecessor to the Air Force of today. The point being to highlight the weaknesses of a rigid military system, and to contr

Week 7 Story: Art Girl Rescue Part 3

"Save me, Alex!" (source) After dispatching the patrols sent on his tail, Alex made his way back towards the outskirts of the village, to the compound of Samu Al-Hayeed. Moving under the cover of darkness, Alex dispatched guards and patrols using nothing but his combat knife.  Finally, Alex reached the perimeter of Samu's compound. The sandy flats surrounding the high wall of the compound were illuminated by blinding floodlights. Machine-gun emplacements flanked the front gate, and the wall was topped by barbed wire. But Alex knew that defenses are only as strong as their weakest link. He circled the compound, staying just out of the range of the floodlights, until he came to the utility pole that supplied the compound with all of its electricity. Alex reached into his rucksack and produced a satchel charge with a timer, the last of his explosives. He climbed to the top of the utility pole and set the charge, he then made his way back outside the entrance of th
