Ubuntu

My laptop is now running Ubuntu. Besides the issue with getting the wireless card working, everything’s been fine. I may never go back to Windows… this laptop is running faster than it ever has before, and the OS uses less than 3 GB of space.

So yeah, wheee.

410 P1 looks amazing. I’ve read over the documentation and will hopefully finish the console (and keyboard?) drivers tomorrow.

Blah busses and classes

I hate the bus system sometimes. It took me about 75 minutes from the time I left work today until I got home… when the trip to/from my workplace is about an 8 minute drive. First the bus was over 30 minutes late… when it finally did come, 3 of them came in a row (one right after the other). Then we got stuck behind another bus such that we stopped at least once at every light. After we lost that bus, many people got on and off at every stop such that we still stopped at each light. So yeah… Bleh.

Today was the second OS class session. We already got our first project, and I’m worried about it. Meh. Besides that, nothing much has been happening. My first session of my other class is tomorrow (Pen-based Computing), and should be exciting. Work has been uneventful and filled with unit test awesomeness.

Besides that, life has been good. Wheee.

Schedule

Classes start on Monday. I’m kinda excited.
This is my schedule. Only 18 units, but I’ll also be working part-time at the same place where I worked this summer. I’m looking forward to both my classes, and to having a steady income as well. Also, my job is awesome.

Not much is going on. I started work on Student Wars v2 on Thursday, and it’s coming along… somewhat. Let me know if you’re possibly interested in playtesting or something. I dunno. I reworked much of the mechanics and I want to make sure the game is still balanced and everything.

I’ve been photographing various parts of orientation for yearbook. I went to House Wars yesterday… it’s just as loud and obnoxious as I remember it from Freshman year. I’m sure some people have the time of their lives there, but it’s just not my thing.

Yeah, not much going on. People are coming back on campus, which is awesome. Tonight is halfprice with Tim, Apphia, Ian, Greg, and (maybe) Keith.

My life is amazing and happy. :D

Sicko

I saw Michael Moore’s new movie, “Sicko,” today with Mars and Ian.
It was really good, actually, and made me kinda question the entire health care system in America. I mean, why are we the only Western nation without government health care? Why does our health care suck so much more than even Cuba’s?
The more stuff I discover about the government and the more pissed off I get with Bush, the more I want to move to Canada or something after I graduate.
Want to come with me?

Anyway, yeah, not much else going on.
You should see the movie. Definetly.

Blar

It felt like Monday today.

Perhaps I should work 10 hour days for 4 days a week instead (and take Wednesdays off). Hmm…
The thing is, I don’t really know how much I like the idea of getting home around 7 PM every day.

Also, there was an awesome potluck party tonight… yay for delicious food and awesome company.
