#matf

I'm really happy to find that after letting it rest for so long, I'm not intimidated by the idea of ripping it to pieces and taping it back together again in a way that makes more sense. I think a year ago I was just fatigued and unable to take things further with the proximity I had to the project and the singleminded focus. I'd been working on it for years at that point and learning how to write a novel in the process. Turns out working on another project is helpful to see things in a new light.

I'm still thinking about the best way to approach it, but I think I'll get a big piece of paper to start, and then brainstorm the parts that are the most successful and exciting that I would like to keep. And then see how the rest of the puzzle pieces fall around that.

It feels kind of luxurious to be back in charge after querying it for about a year.

Ја сам Миодраг Живковић, професор на Катедри за рачунарство и информатику.

Чини ми се да је предност студирања информатике на МАТФ је у томе што се стичу дубља неопходна знања из математике, која је касније у животу теже стећи.

Уствари, ја сам завршио Електротехнички факултет, а касније докторирао на Математичком факултету. Чини ми се да је студирање на ЕТФ била грешка, чије последице и данас покушавам да компензујем колико могу. Сећам се да сам као студент ЕТФ једном пре много година дошао на ондашњи Природно математички факултет на такмичење из програмирања. Тада сам се осећао јадно, јер нисам имао идеју како да уопште приступим тим задацима. То је један од мотива зашто од претходне године учествујем у организацији такмичења из програмирања на МАТФ.

Области мог интересовања су дискретна математика, комбинаторика, алгоритми, криптографија. У свему овоме привлачна су скривена знања, која се разоткривају слој по слој када се човек удуби у њих. Значај криптографије илуструје чињеница да су  у току другог светског рата направљени први рачунари  (Colossus) управо да би се убрзало разбијање шифри; ова чињеница је до 1990. године била држана у највећој тајности.

Logan had both his hands on the steering wheel, the windshield wipers going at full speed to battle the Georgia rain as they sped down the road for a new destination. So many casualties, innocent lives taken, but at least they still had their family. He still had Johanna and Dusty, she still had her father and sister... They had each other, all of them. Some of the others that were in the group with them decided to stay back at the lake house, some decided to head north, and at least a truck full decided to go with them, three more people added to their little caravan of surviors. Logan was still the leader of sorts, he still thought he did a terrible job at leading, but everyone seemed to respect him, they followed him, and Johanna. Kind of like they were the King and Queen of the land of the dead. It be kind of cool if it wasn't so fucked up.

We took a sneak peak inside Mozes and the Firstborn's rehearsal space, where the boys played their debut single ‘I Got Skills’ in front of our cameras. Take a look:
