Update on primarily irrelevant things

• The MSU-PSU game was much more of a blowout than I expected it to be. There's something wrong with the MSU secondary, and it's going to have to be repaired by next season for us to move out of the pile in the middle of the conference. We did put up one half of pretty good defense, though.
• The U of M-OSU game was less of a blowout than I expected it to be. The Rose Bowl will not be pretty.
• Cal did their job and knocked off Stanford for us. I don't think it's possible for the Pac-10 to send more than one team to the BCS at this point. Unfortunately, unless there's some factor that I'm missing, we may still need Oklahoma to do something about Oklahoma State for the BCS to stoop to picking up PSU or Iowa.
• I can't get the Clang static analyzer to work on my laptop, and it's driving me crazy, because it looks like it may be the only free tool that does enough analysis work to be usable as a test subject for my formal methods project, and it's too late now to try to pick up a different project. The abundance of pointer/alias analysis research made me foolishly think that I would easily be able to compare several different algorithms and their usefulness in static analysis, and it is now clear that there is precious little software that actually uses that research to do anything — and no, optimizations don't count. At the beginning of the term, I had reassured myself by saying that I only needed to barely pass my classes to graduate, and now it's looking like I might not even be able to do that. Such is life.
