Welcome to Ben’s Bug Blog!<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h3>\n

This b”Blog” will serve as a part of my debugging process as well as being a record of the problems I solve (and the ones that I cause :\/ ).\u00a0 Isolating and correcting bugs is as much of an art as it is a science, but like with most things in life, the easiest way to fix any problem is to avoid having it in the first place.\u00a0 This is why proper coding practices and maintaining documentation is paramount to writing clean, efficient, and effective code.<\/p>\n

Personal Information<\/h3>\n

I attend Oregon State University in-person at the Corvallis Campus, where I am pursuing a Computer Science Degree.\u00a0 As of writing this I am 22 years old and have lived in Oregon for the majority of my life, having been born in Arizona before moving after around three years.\u00a0 Even though my memories from early childhood are pretty vague, I remember being fascinated with Video Games and Computers.\u00a0 My older sister had poor eye-hand coordination, so the doctor prescribed video games to help her practice and develop those skills.\u00a0 She didn’t care for them much, but I quickly became obsessed.\u00a0 My parents attempted to wean me off but it was already too late, and ever since then video games and technology have become crucial components of my life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both of my parents are engineers, so when I applied to Oregon State University I did as a Electrical and Computer Engineering student.\u00a0 While I enjoyed some of the complex mathematics and logic from that coursework, I had no passion for circuitry, but I immensely enjoyed the programming heavy courses.\u00a0 Recently I switched my major to Computer Science with an option in Simulation and Game Programming and began my pursuit of a career that I could actually enjoy.<\/p>\n

Family and Pets<\/h4>\n

I have one sibling (aforementioned older sister who lives in another state) who has a cat named Baby Daisy, and my parents who have an amazing Yellow Labrador Retriever named Jasper.\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n
