"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Today was boring, as per the norm. Did some work in the lab, tried to get Slackware to run on an old Pentium POS... but ended up installing Debian because I got tired of editing config files. I don't get it, I run Slack on my box and it only took about an hour to get it how I wanted it... but I spent three hours working on it in the lab. Oh well... my guess is Slack would end up disappearing off of that machine after a short while anyway, as I've set this up to show some of the guys the bells and whistles of Linux... and while I've mastered Slack-foo... I'm guess that the guys want to see something that looks better than Windows. Yeah... maybe I should blather about something other than Linux. I played tennis today... I won 6-3 6-2 6-2 against my brother. My serve wasn't as good as it could have been... I ended up slacking off on the speed and just hitting the ball to him. It worked out good, it turns out that to beat him all I have to do is hit the ball straight back at him, which is great when I play my brother but once the leagues start this summer I'm going to get killed. Oh well... I guess I'll just have to start going to the gym again. That has it's plusses and minuses... A plus is the fact that I work out in a private college's gym... and my school is notorius for it's 6:1 male to female ratio... get my drift? *wink* A minus... I have to get up early and actually go. That part sucks. But anywho... I've realized that I'm supposed to meet with my research advisor next week and I haven't coded hardly anything... so I'm going to devote all day tomorrow to coding... Fun! Anywhere from 4 to 8 hours typing rather obfuscated C++ code with emacs. (For the record and for those who know what emacs is... I'm one of the few 'geeks' that hates emacs... I use it... only because it's better than vi for what I'm doing... but I also bitch about it like you wouldn't believe.) Eggheads of the world, unite! That's it for today kiddies... this entry was brought to you by the letter ζ and the number π. Feeling:
