CompSci 108 - Fall 2006

asian Some people eat a lot. Sometimes I do too.

My name is Raymond Zeller. I am from Wilmington, Delaware. I was born in a Birth Center in Wilmington, Delaware. Delaware, however, can be abreviated as DE. After I was born, I was raised in Wilmington, DE. However, at the age of 3, my family moved. We used to rent one house, but we decided to buy one a block away. That was the first time I moved. I lived in that house until the summer of 2006. Then I moved to Hockessin, DE. 15 minutes away. Or 20 if the traffic is bad. Basically, I have managed to make this paragraph 10 times as long as it should be.

My nickname is Ray. Call me Ray. I don't really have a hobby. I like playing frisbee, and I like playing drums and some other instruments. I am a sophomore this year, class of 2009. Soda is pretty good. I like jazz.

This is a neat site. It's called youtube.com. It has a lot of free movie clips.

This is my autobiography about myself

My autobiography should attempt to answer the following questions:
  • When did you first start using a computer?
  • What kinds of computers have you used?
  • How do you use computers on a daily basis?
  • What event(s) made you interested in studying computer science?
  • What do you think a computer scientist does on a daily basis?
  • Describe your best (or worst) programming experience; what made it so good (or so bad)?
  • Describe your most (or least) favorite programming project; what made it so appealing (or so unappealing)?
  • How do you see yourself using computers in the future?

    • I was a young boy when I began using a computer. I first used a computer in kindergarten. I'm not sure what kind it was, but it was really old and slow. When my family got a PC, all I did was play games. I have used Windows computers most of my life. Right now I have a Macintosh iBook G4. I surf the web a lot, program for computer science class, and watch movies. If I have to type something up for a class I use a computer. Also, I do instant messaging on computers sometimes. Having Owen Astrachan as a teacher for CS 100 in Spring 2006 made me want to study computer science at Duke. Also, I like solving problems?

    A computer scientist sits in a cubicle all day with a cup(s) of coffee. He drinks the coffee to keep himself awake. He types on the computer all day and talks to no one. A computer scientist always wears glasses and a pocket protector. A computer scientist makes jokes to his friend in hacker language and laughs when someone mispronounces Java.

    My best programming experience was the time when I got all greens on the first try in Astrachan's CS 100 class. (Meaning when I tested the program, all the test cases passed). I don't remember what program it was or if it was easy, but it made me feel good. My favorite programming project was Boggle in CS 100. It's a game that I actually play, so it was nice to program something that can be used in real life. I don't use it to cheat though. I don't play Boggle very often either. In the future: I might be a programmer? But I dunno. I see myself getting better and better computers when technology improves. I also see myself using computers to check my email.
