The Design and Implementation of laffer1

I'm just shy of a 3.0 right now. 2.97.... I really hate that!

Chris and I went to EMU to work on the build cluster. We didn't get any new nodes up just yet, but we're close. Several are about half done. We were kicked out before we got a chance.

I'm still a bit surprised by the pidgin fork. The reason seems stupid, but I don't like the resizing box either. I've had some weird compile issues with the latest version too. SSL doesn't work right.

I'm impressed. It's GPL clean too. They have packages!

Caryn and I went out to eat tonight. It was nice to get out. I went to starbucks earlier, but it wasn't a lot of time.

Sitting around the house is rough sometimes.

My grades turned out ok. I got a B+ in Technical Editing which I feel is more than fair. That gives me the following grades: A B+ B+ C

I think that's decent!

Another professor has finally put my grade up. I got a C in journalism. I can live with that considering I missed 150 points due to my dad's hospital stay. I just needed a C for my minor.
(writing)

Now if nancy will just post my techincal editing grade!

I got an A in Intro to Microprocessors and a B+ in Software Engineering.

I'm taking stats 360 in the spring. For Fall, I'm taking COSC314 (discrete 2), as well as, geography, philosophy, and history courses. I'll drop philosophy if I can get into computer documentation. Still waiting on that.

I only need two of those courses, but I might as well go full time in the fall.

I just got this e-mail about project glassfish. It asked the question, "What is project glassfish for you?"

It's something that doesn't run on my operating system.

With Sun, everything is going open source, but they don't take patches upstream from other operating system vendors. Sure I can see the code, but I can't actually use it on anything but Linux or Solaris. What is the point?

Isn't this great!  I'm playing with Microsoft's Windows Live Writer.

I'm still waiting for grades from most of my professors, however I did get one. Surprisingly, I got an A in Microprocessors. The professor was quite generous.

Finals week starts now. I just completed my English Portfolio with the exception of the personal statement for the front. Tomorrow, like every day this week will be quite busy.

I keep telling myself just one more week and this semester ends.  Let's hope it gets over quickly.  I'm quite sick of this.  I started working on import Bind 9.4.2 today and it's a mess right now. 

My group members haven't been doing much with flashback. I find that quite annoying. I managed to get backup working tonight and add some bsd extensions. I'm very happy about that. I still need to comment it (a lot more) and finish the web interface.

I haven't filled in what's going on with my dad.  I don't want to go into everything in a blog, but he had surgery last Monday.  It's been a rough go.  I'm hoping to get back into things this week. 

I just got done watching Rush Hour 3.  I really needed a good laugh after the shit I've dealt with lately.  The movie ended very poorly, but most of it was pretty good.  These movies never did have good endings.

I spent most of the day on FlashBack.  It's a backup program I'm writing with Byron and Chris for my Software Engineering course.  I've been writing a webserver and interface for it to function.  I had to avoid working on it due to my father's health problems.  Now it's time to play catch up.  I don't like that.

My father went to the hospital yesterday after experiencing another heart attack. The initial plan was to perform surgery yesterday, but due to his previous surgery near March 6, he was on plavix (sp?). This means they have to wait for that to clear the system which puts him at risk for clotting. He's in the hospital for at least 8 days. They plan to operate on Monday.

Here's a list of my favorite games ever. I don't know why I am doing this, but I am. ;) 1. Super Mario Bros. I have more time with mario than any other game in existence. When I got my first game console in 1988, this was the game I played over and over again. I bought it for my gba, snes (all stars) and even my wii. 2. Doom This has to be the best FPS ever! dmc.wad forever 3. Tie Fighter. I love this game. I had it for DOS and Mac OS! You do not know the power of the dark side! 4. Enemy Territory. It's time to save the world or conquer it. online multiplayer FPS and even free 5. Age of Empires II. I could play this for 6 hours at a time. 6. Street Fighter II . Knee High Kick! 7. Top Gear. One of the best racing games I've played. (SNES) 8. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator. I've broken two joysticks on this game! 9. NBA Jam. Is it the shoes? 10. lakers vs celtics and the nba playoffs (EA , genesis)

I found this interesting blog entry on creating a graph of the rc script run order.

Now, one can just run rcorder with the directory path to see the actual runtime used by the system, but the graph is still very neat. This should be usable on MidnightBSD as well as FreeBSD. Our order is a little different.
