Does this make sense?

Here is a couple of paragraphs that I wrote for an assignment. I re-read it and just laughed. A re write was definitely needed!

With a smoothed histogram, an analysis can be undertaken to locate a circle. Firstly peaks in the histograms located. This is accomplished by finding the highest points in the graph, and then looking to the left and right of these points to see whether the graph slopes downward.

Once all the peaks have been found, each peak is paired with every other peak in the same axis to produce a number of peak pairs. Each of the peak pairs are given a score of the likelihood that they represent a circle. This score is determined by how high the peaks are, and if they have the same height and width.
Then each peak pair is paired with every peak pair in the other axis. These new pairs of paired peaks are also given a score which is determined by how similar the pairs of pairs are to each other. The pair of pairs with the highest score is assumed to represent the circle.

Weymoth Camp Theme Song

I was sorting through some a box of old papers this morning, and I came across this song that we wrote at the first Weymoth Camp. It brings back some memories of the good old days!

We've come along to the Weymoth Camp,
Jesus our saviour he is a champ.
Kris for baptized on the old boat ramp,
It's a La-la-la-la-la land.

HELLO!

Ness was left with nothing to say,
When Dave said something that made our day.
When she didn't talk back we though, "No way"!
Hay hay hay.

GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!

Five cool people for saved this week,
I don't know about you, but we think that's sweet.
Jesus is saving all of the week,
Making them strong, da da da deek.

SERIOUSLY?

Spagetus Labotomus, what's this stuff Matt?
I wouldn't even fed this crap to my cat.
It's the main ingredient in the rat sack,
Da da, that's that.

GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!
Well there you have it, the song that we wrote on the first Weymoth camp. If I remember rightly, Kris and I put it together. I must have been in about grade 11 back then. According to the piece of paper that I found these words are on, the chords are G D C D7 \ A. I don't really remember how those chords fit the song though.

The Latest

Well it's been a while since I've blogged... So what has been happening in the World of Humphrey?

  • Got a Job
    For the last week or so, I have been doing some IT work for the Federal Hotels & Resorts. My job is to create some floor plans for some of their convention rooms. I'm now about half way through doing those, and hopefully I finish them before uni goes back.
  • Honours
    In case you haven't heard, I'm planning to study computing honours this year. I'm looking forward to doing some research into some cutting-edge areas of the computing world. To make 2nd semester a little bit easier, I'm planning to do a summer school unit. So that will start early February.
  • Godstock
    For New Years Eve (and the surrounding week) I headed up to Marrawah for Godstock. I got to stretch out my el'dodgio surfing legs and to spend a lot of time bludging around the campfire. I must admit that I'm not the worlds greatest surf, not even tasmania's, but it was good fun trying. I even got to try out a body board!
  • Weddings
    If you haven't noticed, EVERYBODY IS GETTING MARRIED! So recently I've been to a few different weddings. The last wedding I attended was Karl & Katies. They got married on a beach at Bridport, and I played a couple of songs on the guitar for it. The next wedding I'm going to is Elly and Stu's, which is on this Saturday. Which reminds me, I have to knock together some powerpoint stuff this week sometime.
  • Moving House
    Yes, I've moved house. Well I haven't actually started living there yet, but most of my belonging are up there. It's a really nice three bedroom house, and I'll be living with Matt Yost and most probably Thomas :-) I can't wait, cause it's going to be heaps cool.
Well that's what I've been up to lately. I'm sure there are many things that I've forgotten to write about, but I'm sure you'll get over it. Anyway, I better go and do some work.
