It seems people are starting to immerse themselves into things, which meant a lot of last minute scramblings, questions, and confusions as the original deadline approached for the node1 project;
- I've extended the deadline for node1 through Friday.
- But the deadline for sll0 remains the same.

Issued two more updates to the node0 project, one aesthetic (revision 3) and one fixing a discovered bug in node-app-display.c (revision 4). Be sure to check the project page errata section for more information.
Unveiled our second project, node1, which continues our acclimation to the project structure and our Data Structures explorations.

Thursday we explored linked list insertion, sample code was written. It turns out there was a problem with the code I wrote on the board, which likely resulted in segmentation faults. A corrected copy of the code is on lab46: /var/public/data/fall2014/examples/sll-insert.c
Lab46 experienced a reboot yesterday night due to issues relating to a local denial of service attack. Curiously, around the same time, the following appeared on Facebook:

Unveiled our first project, node0, which utilizes a custom multi-file layout (creating libraries, testing applications, unit tests, along with custom Makefiles to facilitate compiling and administration).
- took the dime cent tour of the directory layout, explaining the intended purpose of things therein.
- discovered a typo in the Makefile, expect an update to apply for Thursday.
  - At some point (even if in class on Thursday), change into your node0 directory and run: fixit
  - There's also an update available, so we'll be applying that (make update)
Project page for node0 project is now available.

If you are not sure if you submitted an assignment, I have updated the submit tool to report this information.
- Simply run: submit data
- You will see upcoming yet-to-be-submitted projects, submitted projects, and past due projects

Started struct review, wrote 2 pieces of code:
- structfun1.c - simple intro to defining, declaring, assigning, and displaying struct contents
- structfun2.c - incomplete as of Tuesday class, started writing a struct to define a “node”, which will be the building block for the rest of the semester.
  - Our node struct is defined as follows:

struct node {
    char value;
    struct node *next;
};
typedef struct node Node;

Diagrams/drawings will be increasingly important.

Unsuccessfully debuted my new status script (to a wall of permission denied errors). I think I have fixed it; Thursday we will give it another go.
- At this point I am still loading in all the information… so not everything may be present.

Lab46 was reset on Friday, so we'll need to recreate our screen+irssi session to access the class chat.
With all the introductory stuff out of the way, time for some C review:
- pointers
  - 2 sample programs, pointers1.c and pointers2.c, are located in the Data Structures public directory (on lab46): /var/public/data/fall2014/examples/
- structs (we'll be getting to them next week)
- … along with any questions you may have

Don't forget to add, commit, and push any work you've done

Welcome! Be sure to:
- Read over the syllabus
- Subscribe a preferred and frequently checked e-mail address to the class mailing list
  - the intention is that the list will be central to class communications
  - please do this before 09/02/2014 so we can start making use of it
- Using the tutorial, set up a screen session and get on #csci on irc
- Set up our Lab46 mercurial repositories
Familiarize yourself with your Opus, and once there:
- customize it (title/subtitle)
- add an introduction
- create your first week content
The first order of business is to review. You'll need everything we learned from C and C++, with a focus on:
- functions (prototypes, definitions, calling, parameters, return types)
- structs
- pointers
