Today marks the official start of Summer of Code 2008, and I'm looking forward to spending more serious time on the project from now on. I still have my exams on the horizon (the last one on June 5:th) as well as some other things to take care of before the end of the semester, but things should be winding down on the school-front from now on.
The main cause of this winding down is the fact that our lab assignment (writing a chat-server + client) got handed in this last Friday. The client-side of that lab can be tried out here (chat servers by other groups can probably be found at the default location over the next couple of weeks, though I take no responsibility for how well they work).
On a tangent, doesn't end-of-semester suck? Or, well, not really. It's actually made up of a bunch of really awesome parts, but the fact that everything conspires to happen at once sucks. At the same time that you have to wrap up all the things you've been doing for the last few months, you want to get off on a good start on whatever you'll be doing over the summer. Also, this is when you really want to be out barbecuing and hanging out with all the people you won't be seeing for the next few months (that's not likely to happen, I'm afraid).
To top this all off, my part time job really wants me to work during all of this, so I'm in for a hectic couple of weeks.
Oh, and I got my start-of-program gift from Google today! Looks interesting...
