We also wrote a backward program for extra points. We are one of the only team who got it to work. Here is the video of it.

So this is it for this project. The only thing remaining is adding the final touches to the final report and send it. If we can do as good with the final report as we did with the preliminary design report, this project would be nearly perfect. Well done Team Nerdcore!

Also, last thursday was the Engineering Student Awards Dinner. As an entrance scolarship recipient I was invited with some 400 other engineering students. At my table was sitting Gaurav Jain, who graduated from software engineering last year and is now the VP of Polar Mobile, a young and quite successful company developing a smartphone publishing tool. I had the occasion to talk a bit with him about how he started the company and how he is managing it. He is a pretty brilliant guy and his company looks really promising.

I’m not working on a particular project. I discovered Project Euler and spent some time doing the first 10 challenges in C. I’m currently learning Ruby and the Ruby on Rails framework via tutorials. I have an idea in mind for a future project that would fit perfectly with Rails but I’m not proficient enough right now to do anything effective. But I’m a quick learner so stay tuned!
