Itinerary for Ingrid!

June 27, 2006

Hope this works.Anyways, I have a workaround for the 5AM starting debacle.

1. Take cab to Union station. @ 5:30
2. Take first train from Union Station for Pickering. @ 6:13
Go Train Link

3. Bo will rendezvous with Ingrid. @ 6:50

4. Get to Ottawa in 4 hours after that @ 10:50 for brunch. Saturday is saved.
Total cost of trip: Cab + Train = 10 + 5.55 = $16.

Time saved: 3~4 hrs.

Disappointment/Euphoria

June 18, 2006

The library gave me the 1987 version of the book where they put color televisions on a pedestal (sp?). I think I will have to buy this book from ebay, there's just no other way around it. If I'm doing this I am going to have to shell out the big bucks.

Got some Matlab code off the Internet that does a Neural Network with two hidden layers. It does cropping and normalization on a bitmap and trains on it for enough epochs such that error is below some threshold. Then tests on another set of inputs. So far it seems it is working! Oh yeah, it's regarding a character recognition project for my AI course. I will have to change the input, because my training set is already normalized and is not in a bit map form. I hope this makes my life easier. Also, I only need one hidden layer. I wonder if I have to rewrite the feedforward code that Matlab provides in the NN toolbox. Oh well, one step at a time :D

Something works!!! Step one taken! Happy!

Time to rant again!

June 18, 2006

Gosh, I keep on going back to the bpark3.com site haha. Maybe I should play a game or two just for kicks…ugh.. just can't seem to get away. Cold turkey is hard!! This is an addiction akin to drugs and alcohol and it's not recognized! There should be a gamer's anonymous somewhere haha. Put a room full of gamers and the next thing you know there's a LAN party.

It's okay, I am still determined. Day 7? Reminds me of my Cali days when I didn't have a computer at home so I couldn't game. Still going strong!

Another Midterm — ECE471

June 17, 2006

Off to library today to do some serious 471 studying. I've got the whole day to this thing.. better be good!!

Maxwell and I are going to get reacquainted and I may have to kick his butt again. But I hear this time he's got friends to back him up. It's okay, 'determination' has got my back.

GOOOO!

Books!!

June 16, 2006

I'm really beginning to enjoy writing to myself!

I just put a hold on an excellent book. It's called Digital Image Processing by Gonzalez et al. Will be cool to have this in my hand after midterms and probably dive into it for a few weeks. Will possibly determine my future! haha Hopefully, it will. I always find/try things I don't like and end up trying new things.

Anyhow, realized all the good data processing courses are in the system design program so I will probably only take one ECE course next term and 3 SYDE courses. That will help me with my mechatronics option too :D although I doubt I'll be able to complete it.

Anyways, off to sleep! Good day for Bananas!
