On Attaining a Disciplined Life…

To be honest, it’s easy to attain a disciplined life when you’re married. if you don’t live a disciplined life, your other half will discipline you.

hehe. one of the more humorous (but still true) nuggets from CYC.


Day 25 – Night-time HW Break-through

Really quickly… For the iOS course we have to implement a graphing calculator. For some reason I couldn’t get the graph axes/translation stuff right.

Day 6 – ……17??
