Prof. Aho

CS started a "Distinguished Lecture Series". Prof. Aho from Columbia (the university, not the country) gave a talk about programming languages and compilers. It was mostly about the reliability of software, quantum computing, and how to craft compilers to address these two areas. It was kind of interesting. There were tonnes of people there - standing room only in one of the larger lecture halls on campus. A much higher turnout than one would expect for a Friday afternoon extracurricular event.

The Leafs are losing to Philadelphia again. :-( I think I'll work on my Cryptography assignment...
