A broken foot, wasted time and no cold beer!
Bloody bad news, this sucks so much!
1. Yesterday, I did the washing and the clouds came over. After 2 goes in the dryer I had no money left and still wet cloths.
2. I spent 6 hours on my assessment task, three hours to do it wrong and then another three hours to do it wrong again.
3. Turned to the fridge in dire need of alcohol, only to find there was none. Now frantic, I ended up drinking a room temperature beer.
4. After all this, I tried to sleep but didn't manage it till after midnight.
5. A broken foot which had healed enough so that it didn't hurt, broke again while I rode my bike back this afternoon.
So, after all this, I have wet clothes, a once again painful foot, a mild alcohol addiction, sever sleep depravation and the assessment still isn't done!
Today's LAD comic is devoted to the PC dude in my ComSc class that asked and quote "Where the terminal is in Windows." Not only did I loose control of the muscles holding my head above the desk, but he proceeded to say "Oh, so it's a Mac thing" and points at my Pismo.
I've also had criticism that my little 500mhz Pismo isn't enough for the ComSc course. Apparently I need a 800mhz or faster or otherwise it can't run the most modern OS's. A rather interesting statement since my Pismo runs the most current build of Panther and with any luck Tiger. Still, any laptop that can be compiling C++ in Xcode, playing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trailer (The online trailer is a must see!) while still having CPU cycles to spare is good enough in my book!
EDIT: As of the 9th, the internet at College has died. Until the ISP fixes the problem or is taken down by 500 pissed of Students, TheLAD will be on hold until I get my net back.
Well, now that I have cold beer, I'm gona say cheers and goodnight!
