So, I've got this sort of graph in my head (in the graph theory sense, for those who don't automatically assume this) of "blocking" events -- that is, a directed graph of what things I have to do when, and what things have to come before other things. This graph is getting too large to hold in my head. But the tools I would use to record it, being my calendar and my todo list, are ELEMENTS OF THE GRAPH, in that I have to fix them before I can do anything else on the list! Argh! Head a splodey!

If you didn't know what that meant, then just ignore it. OR, post comments berating me for being cryptic. Comments are fun.

In other news, I think I'm going to be TAing 15-100 for Kesden and Carroll. (For non-CMU-ers, that's Intro Programming, and the one in question is for non-CS majors.)

UPDATE: Horde/Kronolith is gone. (Time-scheduling programs which eat up your time by making you debug them are worth less than zero.) iCal is pretty. And my mental stack size, having unloaded most of said stack onto iCal, is back down to reasonable levels. W00t.

Also, Puzzle Pirates eats my soul.

Isn't Kesden's class supposed to be the one that discourages hopeful minors? :D

I'm actually hoping that by effective TAing I might offset that effect somewhat. I may be hoping too much.

Me first! Me first!

This clearly isn't just a graph due to priorities and interdependencies. It seems more like a constraint satisfaction maximization problem and is probably NPC. Good luck.

His graph is a non-player character? *pokes graph* Oh yeah, it says "welcome to _____ town" over and over....

iCal is pretty.

Mozilla Calendar is also nice if you're using Firefox or something. It also uses the same format as iCal.
