Long Day
April 5th, 2004 | Published in General
Man, it’s been a long weekend. Even though time flew. And DST didn’t really help. Yesterday I did get a bunch of COSI work done during the afternoon, but it went downhill from there. I tried to do some IBM work last night but failed miserably. I ended up walking down to Videorama with John and renting The Talented Mr. Ripley, which was surprisingly good. I also started installing Gentoo on my laptop. Managed to get the drive all set up correctly, but for some reason it refuses to use my bootstrap partition, even though it’s been blessed (with Holy Penguin Pee even). My kernel also seems a bit screwed up — it drops to bootmon almost instantly and then powers off when I exit from it.
Today I actually started on a variety of homework, including the new IS415 assignment and the Applied Linear Algebra assignment from Friday, but I didn’t finish either. This evening I spent watching Ripley’s Game, which wasn’t quite as good as the first.
Of course I also had to watch Adult Swim while I wrestled with getting MonoDevelop installed and to update D-Bus/HAL/G-V-M. And I succeeded. MonoDevelop is pretty cool. Perhaps my learning a new language (C#) will spark my interest in writing some code.
