I just finished up my first test. Calculus mastery test. I think i did alright on it, other people seemed to be getting the same answers as me. The questions were harder than the practice test they gave us. Maybe they weren’t any harder, they just gave us numbers that you got weird answers for, it makes you think you did something wrong. I got my first computer assignment back yesterday, I got 5/5. Also got the first algebra assignment back today, got 10/10 on that. So far i’m doing pretty good. Now I have to get to work on another algebra assignment that’s due tomorrow. Then the economics one that’s due on friday.

Holy shit, the internet access in the labs is so much faster than the res. Resnet chokes during the day and at night, the only good time to download stuff is during the day. I’m sitting in my computer tutorial right now, trying to figure out what the hell i’m doing. The labwork they gave us shouldnt have been given to us this week. We haven’t been taught the required material, it also wants us to be finished assignment 3, but we just got that today. We handed in assignment 2 last night. Bah, back to work.

Attempting to get a website going for our floor, playing around with apache web server. I don’t know if i’m going to be able to host it without using my ip address. Something that i’d rather not do.

A bit of mad programming today. I was working on my computer assignment, made a program to figure out the thermal expansion of various metals and a program to convert celsius into farenheit and vice-versa. It’s kind of a bastard trying to get these things to work, when you’re testing it, but 0 degrees celsius and it tells you the temperature in farenheit is infinity, you know you have a problem. All fixed up now though, I just have to do the documentation for the programs and I’m done the assignment.

Tried installing a bunch of different things last night. Had corel linux on the computer for awhile. It didn’t like being in a partition above the 8gb mark though, so i ended up deleting it. Then I installed BeOS. It installed well, detected my video card and network card alright, I think my soundcard is kind of sketchy. It figured out the card was by creative but it wouldnt play any sounds. I have to figure out the network settings for the queen’s servers so I can connect from be. For some reason it wouldnt detect automatically. Watched fight club again last night.
