Don't get me wrong...

Distributed Systems is a VERY interesting course BUT....

I CAN'T STAY AWAKE!!!!

So if anyone has any tips on how to study + stay awake, pass it on! I was thinking coffee but I don't really want to up and walk at this time of night...(even though it's not really that late)...but I like SC coffee more and more now and I doubt SC is open at this time.

So a short nap and 2 reese's peanut butter cups later, i'm back...but not in action.

NARRRR.....

For those who are curious about MPEG4 or stuff like that...

The MPEG4 FactSheet

or AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) promotion by Apple...

It's a short but relatively nice read so rock out :)

(And yes...i'm supposed to be reading about global states and naming services...)

SOMEBODY PLEASE WAKE ME UP!!!!

UGH! i'm trying to study but i end up just being so fricking tired! Crippity crap crap!

AAAAUUGGHH!!!!
