Hello, Dear Mr/Mrs Whoever it may concern!

So this is the deal: I am a third year student now. Serious stuff. Here is a random list of things I am learning while studying for the exams.

• You should have so much feedback with a client, it should be handled in a TCP rather than UDP way.
• C gives you enough rope to hang yourself. And 60% of the Internet.
• Implementing a round robin scheduler with no pre-emption will solve your time problems. * The no pre-emption is actually the key here.
• How to draw stick figures and call them "UML Diagrams".
• Waterfall is so XX century. Agile is new and good. Magical! It even makes lazy people, un-lazy!
• Slow start is actually quite exponential.
• Thombstone diagrams... who... who uses that?
• CGPGrey + Numberphile guy = Great, no... GREAT podcast!
• Gant and PERT charts, kanbana... all kinds of stuff to keep the boss happy.
• Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaw.
• Write blogs!
• How important ER diagrams are. For a third year.
• How important the mouse is. For a third year.
• Apple... OH-MI-RANDOM-THANKS-APPLE!!! Thank you Johny Ive, Steve Jobs and all the best artists and designers in the world, without you HCI wouldn't exist and my world would be mostly empty!
• The header and footer of email staaaaaarts to look artificial to me. Why can't I do it like chat?
• XP is great! Almost 15 years old, looks like the best agile methodology!
• The sad realization that the University is pushing me to work for these people:

Will keep it posted if I learn something more.

Best wishes, Procrastinating Me
