All hail Natasha Jain, winner (or the "about to be" winner) of the 2010 Turing award. That's right! I have my sights set high. I plan to win the the Turing Award. Oh and by the way, you guys do know that the Turing award was named after Allen Turing; *everyone in a chorus*the famous British mathmetician and computer whiz. Sorry about that. Mr.Arkin must have said that about 10 times in computer science class today. It is a very contagious sentence and kind of caught on if you know what I mean (which I dearly hope that you do). :D Well..... I have to confess thatI am not an expert at computer programming. I mean, we just started the unit today. But, and I mean this, I plan to become the best computer programmer that the world has ever seen (after Allen Turing of course). I'm already in Natasha's Computer World thinking about Natasha's Computer Enterprise and having an award named after me: Natasha's Computer Award. *ahem* Oh...right! sorry about that. I got lost in my own little world AGAIN! Gotta stop doin' that!
Anyways, something that I HAVE accomplished is passing exactly a month of computer science and boy was it tough. Mr.Arkin has kindly decided to throw us a partyy to reward us for all of our efforts. THANK YOU MR. ARKIN! I have already posted on the wiki that I will be bringing assorted cookies. I all set to go for the party tomorrw which I by the way can't wait for.
Anyhow, class today was very interesting. We started a new unit today - webpage and program development! We made a very intricate flow chart that descibes both webpage and program development. We also worked on Turing. It is a software that has text editor, compiler and executor. WOW! I know - 3 in 1. But that's sort of the point. It's supposed to make work easier, faster and more efficient. We went over some new vocabulary related to this unit a well. The words are keyword, character string, arithmetic expression and delimeters. Anyways our work is simple; we have to write our daily blog(as usual), read over the programming section on http://www.touque.ca/EC/programming/index.html , download Turing and fix up our autopbiography and glossaries if we need to.
Cheers! (I read that in a book and thought that it would be cool to add over here)
