This SLOG & First Impressions

This whole concept of a 'SLOG' seems pretty strange, but interesting to me. I think, so far, the hardest part was coming up with a name. So I decided to look up CS puns and, to my dismay, byte-me.blogspot.com was taken. So I went through my CSC148 material and found pep8.

One of the most annoying parts of CSC148 assignments was runstyle.py and pep8, since I am definitely not good at communication, consistent or good naming conventions, etc. As a result, I decided to go with peph8. (I wonder if that was a violation of "Don't expect your audience to read leet" or not.)

As for CSC165... For someone who's extremely horrible with deciphering ambiguous statements, much less getting my own messages across, it seems pretty useful. The whole symbols thing is slightly confusing, but I can probably manage. It's pretty intimidating, but I think I could pull through. I'm sort of reminded of puzzle solving, which is always good. And critical thinking seems pretty important.


Eventually, I'll redesign this SLOG so it doesn't look like a piece of trash that I just picked at default. I'll also probably make some sort of glossary for myself, or terms list... so I don't have to Google terms and symbols every time I try to do something.
