Mood: blank, apathetic, numb
School:
Got my math midterm back. I did better than I should have, considering I didn't study and I hadn't payed any attention to any classes this semester. It was all from memory from when I was in engineering. My mark was above 60% (I'd have done better, but I got lost in the basement looking for the class so I lost about 10 minutes.)
Life:
I dunno, it's kinda odd. I haven't really been here lately. I've been here, but not _here_, you know? I haven't had much to talk about lately, nor have I created anything at all. It sucks because this always seems to happen. I'll get interested in something and then I'll become bored with it. This happened with drawing and web coding and writing stories. Most recently, I started getting into tracking (making music from samples, kinda like midi but better), and I was excited, but...
I guess it is sort of like writers block or something. Maybe a symptom of depression?
Programming:
Started on my biggest code thing yet.
It is still a pretty small project, but it is the biggest I've done (and it spans multiple files too).
I've been wondering how I should handle version tracking though. Any suggestions are welcome. (cause I'm working on this on different computers) PLZ ADVISE.
Networking:
I completed the first stage of my network rebuild the other day. I wish my switch was gigabit though. I figured out that I should use the 100mbps uplink port to connect to the router :D. I also learned how poorly my network was set up in the first place. Now that I have new knowledge, I can work on improving it. Of course, my server is currently not accessible from outside my network. But Pi figured out my problem with it and my mac! I was using a bad port :( (the one OSX uses for mDNS). He also helped me fix the code so that links work better. These are things I'll know to check for in the future.
I think it is getting pretty close to the point where I format EVERYTHING and rebuild the entire network from scratch. My filesystem is absolute shit. Duplicate files, no organization, arg! It makes backing up stuff to be a pain in the ass (I still do though, but I want to make it easier for myself because I am lazy). (And trying to FIND a file... good luck with that). I've been wanting to add a fileserver with raid for a while, and I think I will once I have the money. I also want to get my server to the point where I have some redundancy and can do hosting for people. (Probably have a pair of servers and using the freebsd jail system). Of course, I need to get bigger upload, but yeah, some day. Oh, also, anyone know of any GPL software that can manage SNMP?
I know it kinda seems overkill for a network that is essentially the network in my room, but I like playing with these things, I like learning computer and network things. One of my systems probably needs to be replaced pretty soon. I suspect that when it's northbridge fan died, the chip got slightly damaged. This might explain the memory errors I had been encountering.
Wow, this entry is getting huge. For someone who had nothing to say, I sure said a lot. Thanks to anyone who read this all.
Oh! before I forget, send me love plz:

(ARG WTF, FA STILL CAN'T PARSE HTML?)
(and now, a second edit because FA fails so badly. I know bbcode. Which it looks like you guys attempted to impliment (and very poorly, aparently). Seriously, you've had so much time to work on this site and yet, you can't get the fucking search to work and the journal system hasn't been improved for ages. I was dissapointed before and now I'm even more so. And I hear your datacenter can't even handle a DDOS. WTF, guys. If you were on a home connection, I'd understand, but how can your DC not be able to rapidly null route the offending traffic?)
(third edit. I refuse to even bother any more. just imagine a picture there. FA, you fucking fail so bad, I am disgusted at your coders. And I don't want to hear any Ferrox bullshit either.)
And now, cause I luff you all so much, more stuff about me (PS: I stole it from Kiwi):
A - AVAILABLE: fgsfds
B - BIRTHDAY: Jan 5th
C - CRUSHING: yep
D - DRINK YOU LAST HAD: French Vanilla Cappuccino
E - EASIEST PERSON TO TALK TO: hmmm... Cori, Dani, Mel, and Laura are pretty easy to talk to. Although I rarely get to talk to them.
F - FAVORITE BAND: Either 'The Paper Chase' or 'Freezepop'. Perhaps both.
G - GUMMY BEARS OR GUMMY WORMS: I DUNNO :( Either would be nice.
H - HOMETOWN: Edmonton
I - INSTRUMENT: ummm... I'm musically challenged. I do fancy the guitar and piano though. I was singing along with music last night while I coded.
J - JUGGLE: Sorry, I am unable to.
K - KILLED SOMEONE: Not yet.
L - LONGEST CAR RIDE: I do not remember.
M - MILKSHAKE FLAVOR: Hmm... I do like mint milkshakes a lot. (Rootbeer ones are awesome though)
N - NUMBER OF SIBLINGS: 2.
O - ONE WISH: To be with the ones I love.
P - PERSON WHO CALLED YOU: Think that would be Laura
Q - QUACK?: wut
R - REASON TO SMILE: Love
S - SONG YOU LAST HEARD: Love Inc. - Broken Bones
T - TIME YOU WOKE UP: Not sure. 6:15 am, maybe? (I wouldn't really consider myself awake though)
U - UNDERWATER OR OVER: Over. I am not good at the swimming, and I prefer to not drown on most occasions.
V - VEGETABLE YOU HATE: WHAT! HATE VEGETABLES!? THIS IS BLASPHEMY! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I WORK WITH VEGETABLES AND THEY ARE QUITE GOOD. ASDFHJKL!!!!!!
W - WORST HABIT: Being shy, :( not taking opportunities when I can, not thinking before I act.
X - X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD: Well, I had X-rays that indicated I had broken my collar bone and it healed before I even knew. And I've had the dental X-rays.
Y - YOUR LAST CANDY: WHAT! I DO NOT EAT CANDY I HAVE TO WATCH MY GIRLISH FIGURE!
Z - ZODIAC SIGN: I'm the one in January, you know? The one that looks like a goat or something. Oh, right, Capricorn. I think.
Mood: blank, apathetic, numb
