i remember the very first machine problem given to me by my instructor… it was a simulation of a falling ball. gumawa raw ako ng program that will compute the rate of acceleration ng isang bumabagsak na bola. the height of the drop is to be entered by the user. your program must be able to give the rate of acceleration at any point of the ball’s drop that is also given by the user. in your computation, please use this “so and so i forgot oh it was so long time ago” branch of integral calculus that makes use of “so and so i forgot oh it was so long time ago” fibonacci series. man, i was hooked.
event highlight: nakalimutan ng isang speaker tanggalin yung wireless clip microphone pagkatapos niyang magsalita. tuloy tuloy na lumabas sa conference room habang naririnig namin sa sound system ang conversation niya sa kanyang kasama. parang tumuloy pa nga ata siya sa banyo dahil narinig kong nag flush ang toilet, afterwards mga kaluskos sounds, pregnant pause at barely audible na “oh shit, i forgot to take the microphone off“.
