Weekly Report - 08 June 2008
So I said I would try and write one of these every week, and its been two weeks since I wrote my first one, so I’m not going too well at the moment. Uni is over for me in a few days then I’m going to take a weekend off before I start working almost exclusively (I still have to work at my job at the liquor store) on MPLS for FreeBSD. I only have 4 weeks of holidays to work mostly on this unfortunately, its one of the main problems with trying to do GSoC, when its not actually summer where you live.
Accomplished last week:
- Finished my first ever research paper that I needed to do for one of my classes this semester, The paper is on Inferring Traffic Shaping via Port Number. Its not a very interesting topic, nor a very challenging paper, it was just something that I could do without taking up too much of my time. I may upload it later for anyone interested in reading it.
- Finished 1 of my 3 papers for the semester. This week I will be finishing the other two with 2 last assignments due as well as a final test on thursday. I’m very happy to know that unless I fail something, I wont have to go to classes anymore after the end of this year.
Plans for this week:
- Nothing really MPLS related. With uni finishing on thursday (well, technically my last assignment is due on friday but thanks to my job I have no way of getting up there to hand it in) and work on friday and sunday I wont be working on MPLS at all.
- Not related to GSoC or University in any way, but I’m going to kick up my search for a job for when I graduate at the end of the year. Still waiting to hear from IBM to see if I got through to the next stage of interviews, going to call them later today if I havent heard anything back from them.
