Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Computer Science Assignment 1

Right now, I’m in the computer lab working on my first Computer Science project of the year: (Can you tell that I’ve been <blockquote> happy lately? :lol:)

Design and implement a Visual C++ .NET program that accepts 7 letters separated by spaces and displays a numeric telephone number. Assume all lower case letters. Letters should generate numbers based on this image of a phone. No ones or zeros will be output since there is no letter assigned to either of these keys. Input will be lower case letters only. Only legal input will be used. It won’t be necessary to check for proper case. After reading one 7 character phone number the program should terminate. You don’t need a loop to process additional phone numbers.

Prompt the user to enter seven letters separated by spaces. Then print the corresponding telephone number. A properly formatted phone number has a dash between the 3rd and 4th numbers.

I’ve finished most of it, but there’s a couple of things that I’m having trouble with. It’s not due until Friday morning, so I have time to discuss them with my professor. Y’all should be proud of me… I’m actually not procrastinating for once! :spin: If only I could keep up with my Calculus homework better…

Will’s family heard from their condo — little to no damage! They were very lucky. The owners even expect to begin renting out the rooms again in two weeks. I guess our Spring Break plans are still on.

I’m still obsessed with Scrabble. ‘Z’, ‘X’, and ‘Q’ word suggestions are welcomed. I’ve beaten Andy the last two times we’ve played… even after he bingoed! Wish me luck for the third time.

Thanks for the comments: Lauren, Emma, Sanne, Anneke, Jordie, Rach, dandyna, tuan, Rain, Joni, ciara, Dionne, Chette, Michelle, Yajaira, Jem, leila, and Renee.

    I’m glad that the condo made it through the hurricane. I have family in south Florida and in Pensacola, so they’ve kinda been taking turns in getting hit by hurricanes. What a mess.

    Anyway, good luck with your third round of scrabble! I’d offer some words, but it’s 7am and I haven’t slept, so it would probably be best if I didn’t even try.
