Graph Assignment Released
The graph assignment is now available on FrontDesk. It is due April 12 at 11:59PM, so you have two weeks to complete it. As many of you noticed last night, the job queue on FrontDesk can get quite long right before the deadline when a lot of people are submitting. Start early and this won't be a problem.

Burrows-Wheeler Transform Header
We did not fully specify the Burrows-Wheeler Header format in the assignment writeup, so please follow this addendum:
Your header must be the first four bytes of the transformed files. It stores the start index value from highest order byte to lowest order byte.
The provided example files reflect this header format for comparison purposes. Sorry for any confusion this caused.

Stuck in Chicago
To cut a long story short, I won't be back in Pittsburgh until late Monday night, and I need to cancel my office hours. If you have any pressing concerns, please try to contact another TA as I will not have internet access until I get back to school. Thank you

Test Tomorrow
For the test tomorrow, can those in sections G & H show up to DH 2315 rather than the original room. 2315 is a more comfortable room so should be better to take the test if we distribute people this way. Please spread the word.

Office Hours Moved
I'm going to move my office hours to tomorrow (Monday) since having them on Tuesday makes no sense. I'll have them from 10-11 PM in WeH 3130.
Office Hours Cancelled
I have an interview on Monday (tomorrow), so I have to cancel my office hours.
