Update
Hey guys, so I’ve just started my first year at the University of Toronto in the computer engineering program, so I’ll be pretty busy over the next year. I’m going to try my best to keep up with the weekly uploads on Friday, and maybe post a bit about life on campus, but I’m not sure if I can do it, so I’ll take it back to once every two weeks like before if this gets to be too much.
