Today&#8217;s (or technically yesterday&#8217;s) studying was disturbed with a lot of nasal congestion, which seems to going away now, which I know you care about.  &#8220;Wait a sec, I gotta check Sean&#8217;s blog for status on his nasal congestion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the exam tomorrow (er, today) has something to do with computer science, but I&#8217;ve never been able to quite figure out what&#8230; it&#8217;s just a random collection of compiler and coding information, it doesn&#8217;t seem to have much of a theme.
