July 29, 2005 Earlier today hardware dude said the word "gates" to me, as in logic gates. Now, I dislike hardware, so I told him "Don't say 'gates' to me" to which he said "What about Bill Gates?" and I said "That's just as bad; Microsoft sucks." and guess what program somehow managed to erase an entire .cpp file (one that contained about half of my code) after spontaneously quitting on me? I'll give you a hint: Microsoft Visual Studio. I wanted to do my programming in Linux using vi but the projects are being graded using MS VS and C++ isn't the same across all operating systems because it's a pain in the ass like that. Pah. I realize that since I've already finished up my degree, passing this class isn't such a big deal. Especially since it's p/np and the whole point is that I learn, not get a good grade. I'd just feel bad if I didn't pass because the company paid for the class and my parking permit. This is silly. It's mighty late and I really need to pack. Somebody shoot me.

July 27, 2005 Updated Need to... -Lunch with Alicante girls (minus Xin because she's omega norcal :() -Post photos (graduation/Hawaii/Obon/misc) -See if April's Hawaii pics came out -Watch Bad Education -Finish my ICS80 project -Make myself more useful @ work ;P -Fly up to go hang with the cows (and Brian) Hardware dude told me that my tiredness is starting to show on my face. Past two days I've left the house at 8:30, left work a little before 8, and have gotten home past 10:30. I know I shouldn't bitch because it could be a lot worse (having to get into work @ 8 like many working folk) but it's getting exhausting. By the time I get home the entire day is gone :( When this class ends things should be better. I only get home late because I go to Starbucks to program (easier to focus there than at home) Currently pumped up on caffeine. I miss my friends :( (link) Midori | | 10:50 PM
