I finished an algorithm today for a problem I’ve been working on and to celebrate I’m watching all of the Terminator movies (and Chinese food). 🙂

Oh now you tell me.

Next you’ll be saying the message “SKYNET IS ONLINE. JUDGEMENT DAY IMMINENT.” that keeps flashing on my screen is a bad thing huh?

Part way through T2 at the moment. I ate waaaaaaaay too much Chinese food. I haven’t watched these movies in a couple of years. They really are quite good. Great entertainment.
