Working hard doing nothing
Been (very) busy the last few days, although I don’t have a lot to show for it. Installed MediaWiki on my Apache server (about my only success). Tried to get WikiPDF working. Its obviously designed to run on Linux. After a bit of tweaking I got it to generate latex, but it failed to convert [...]
-.-
Last few days have been pretty quiet. Class still uninteresting, 555 is still a disappointment, did pick up one useful thing though, did some reading after one class and figured out how to use the Linux route command. managed to set up my firewall to route local traffic locally, rather than just shoving everything down [...]
Rest
Nice day, after yesterdays hellish events. Caught up on sleep, and played some guitar. Figured out a few Bread (alt) songs (their more up-beat electric guitar tracks).
Got a very quick response from my query on the forum, probably enough to infer the answers to my major queries, I’m a lot more confident about starting the assignment now.

Confusion
Sat down and properly read through the assignment 1 for 382. Didn’t help Its confusing and sometimes contradictory, or lacking explanation. I’m also confused as to the bounds of what the blog (Learning journal and Research journal) is meant to achieve. I will have to sit down today, and try and summarise the [...]
Books
Another 382 lecture, nothing terribly exciting, mostly business centred stuff, not too bad though (not my favourite field).
Had an idea today of what I might be able to focus on in this subject. I haven’t re-read the criteria yet to understand it better, so I don’t know if this will suit, but… I once had [...]
CSS
Alan and I today looked into CSS. Al wanted to “customise” his blog. Decided to have a look too, as i previously knew nothing about CSS. Tweaked my page, from this to this, by changeing only the CSS (and adding a few jpgs). Clayton reccomended oswd (this in particular) as a source of quality css [...]
Numbers
First lecture for 555 today. Rather uninteresting, I suppose he was covering pre-requisites, seems very thorough, making sure every one is following, but it was very slow. Geoff seems a geek though, great to see. Was starting to think the world was lacking, maybe I’ve been doing too many distance subjects.
Clayton today introduced me to a [...]
Null
Slow day. Played more bass, I did get blisters Its OK, shouldn’t slow me down much, just have to remember to alternate the fingers I slide with.
Grace and I attempted to set up Apache/PHP/MySQL manually today, with limited success. Got apache up (easy enough), php was working, but could not access many standard functions. [...]
