So...
- February 15, 2008 - 6:46am
I want to buy a sub for here so bad, but I just spent $940 on plane tickets so that my boyfriend and I can visit home over spring break and I still need to finish up getting my supplies for my classes (which is another $100+tax for a DE-1 board). So I'm feeling kinda poor.
I really need to get around to getting my DE-1 board so I can start living, er... spending time... in the computer labs figuring out how to use VHDL to make the board do cool stuff. I think we made a 2-bit adder in lab the other day, but I wasn't paying much attention beyond the NEAT FLASHY LIGHTS. :B It's actually kind of cool "programming" things on a hardware level and I think I might end up liking the hardware end of computer engineering more than I thought. This http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~hamblen/DE1/DE1.JPG is a DE-1 board, with everything labeled. I srsly want to make it play music. My friend and I were talking about that on our way back to the dorms and she goes "Yeah, I want to make it play music because it'd be better at it than the POS I use now."
Uh, yeah. That's really all I have to say.
Oh, and I'm currently playing LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. It doesn't seem to exist in the current search/list/thing, so yeah.

Not sure if that makes too much sense.

That's a page on the Cyclone II device family (which the DE-1 board belongs to).

Nothing's broken, it's just functioning differently.

You should demand they stay open 24/7, like real labs :B

It's not open all the time because the engineering building (well, technically there's two of them... but it's almost impossible to tell them apart) gets locked at some point and only sometimes are the front doors left open (so people can use the Software Engineering Lab). The ECE Undergrad Lab also has lots of expensive equipment in it.

I suppose that makes sense, then. Crazy kids

Underground labs rock - Umbrella taught me that.
