C++ Date Class – Manipulate Dates in C++

November 15, 2009

Finally! I did it! Assignment #4 is complete, and I can manipulate dates pretty effing easily now. No doubt there is already some vastly superior date manipulation library already out there… stupid school. Just kidding. I learned a LOT with this assignment. #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Date { private: /* | \ PRIVATE [...]

Vote Counting Machine: Borda & Plurality

November 5, 2009

This was my version of a C++ assignment to count votes from a text file. It’s not super useful outside the classroom, but I’m posting it anyway. // // Bryan Simonson // Assignment #3 // Vote Counter // #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; // Function prototypes int MenuSelect(void); void LoadData(char vote[][100], [...]

Music Monday: Broken, a cover by Dark Tranquillity

October 19, 2009

I don’t have much in the way of content for this post, so I’ll just share today’s song. The only thing I don’t like about this song is this part (solo?) in the middle that just goes on WAY too long, and is way too repetitive. I discovered this song through iTunes when I saw [...]

Luck is a Skill (I knew it!!!)

October 13, 2009

I just stumbled across this article about luck. As counter intuitive as it may be, it seems luck actually a well-honed skill. That’s right! If you want to be lucky, all it takes is a healthy dose of optimism, and positive thinking.

Music Monday: Looking for a lifeline…

October 12, 2009

I finally found a solution to the iMeem issue. It’s a handy plugin for WordPress that generates either an HTML5 audio player or degrades to Flash if the browser is incompatible. Incidentally, it’s much more powerful than stupid Coffeecup’s Web Jukebox. Before you try and take away any of my geek cred, I bought their [...]

C++ Change Dispenser (My First C++ Program)

October 7, 2009

One of these days I’ll actually know how to program c++ pretty well, and when that happens, I plan to write some kickass software. But when that happens, I figured it would be pretty amusing to look back at my very first c++ program (besides the mandatory “Hello World!” app). This was our first assignment [...]

Skydiving Part 2: Jump of Destiny

October 2, 2009

Yeah! That’s an awesome enough name for the sequel to my first jump. I went skydiving with Cliff on Sunday, but I’m just barely getting around to posting stuff here. I’ve got a couple videos, and a ton of pictures. Here’s the video shot by Vladmir at Skydiving Snohomish: UPDATE: Apparently Flickr limits videos to [...]

For those Minty iPhone users who haven’t yet downloaded the app, you should get it today! You know those times when you’re bored, and you turn to your phone for help? Well, if you get done reading email, texting aimlessly, and playing your favorite puzzle game, now you can download your financial transactions and categorize [...]

This is weird, but so unique that I had to post a link to it.

Music Monday

August 31, 2009

I’ve been thinking about how fun it was to share with everyone using F.R.A.Z. (Fraz Radio, A to Zed). So today I’m doing Music Monday. Pretty much that consists of me putting some music on here (because today is Monday). The first song is one that I particularly like today: Avenged Sevenfold – Afterlife. Enjoy! [...]
