JR

So I have been away from this thing lately. Between running/playing on the UC Davis Mens Club Water Polo team and school, I have been very busy. One of my class's ecs140b - programming languages (part 2), I have been doing some work in JR. JR is an extended java that has all sorts of commands built into it for parallel process operations. I must say at first my lack of knowledge on how multiple process sync together made me struggle with the language. But once I got over that hurtle, I must say JR has some very nice features. Creating new process's on remote hosts can be done in two lines of JR code. I am looking forward to writing a pong - win brick hybrid game in JR for my final project in the class.
