Been so tiring lately... full-time work really sucks. No time to do anything! Saturdays is gay because everything is closed. :( I think when I graduate, I want a job wear I just work four, or maybe three, days a week. :D Or maybe I can be a manager and just come in whenever I want.
Today I made little mistake at work. I ran this script, and then closed it midway when I realised it didn't do what I want. But the script had already deleted all the "release" files already. Not sure if anyone actually used them... only one person was really affected, and it didn't even bother him that much. No one else seemed to notice :)
The other guy fixed it... but I didn't know and I deleted it again later on in the day, when I ran the script by accident. :P He tried e-mailing me, but stupid Ximian Evolution crashed or something so it wasn't receiving mail properly (yet everything else in it worked... so couldn't tell it crashed!!). So in the end, that guy had to call the person in my next cubicle, who then had to search for me around office because I was chatting with a friend in another cubicle. :P Around this time,
there was also this other bigger problem that occured, where no one could build anything... I was afraid that maybe it was me (since I was messing/learning their build system), but luckily it wasn't... phew -_-
Since then, I upgraded my Ximian Evolution to the latest stable release (v1.4). Not sure I really like Redhat 9 that much. Either it's Redhat, or the previous owner's messing around, but everytime I shutdown, it doesn't unmount the NFS /home directory properly, and I get stupid "you are currently logged in" errors when I log in the next day.
When I first came in, I wanted to reformat and install Linux again. But then I decided to just try "fix" it on the spot.... Linux is better than Windows in that respect. I can know pretty much where every file came from (thanks to package management) so can clean it up good.
Hmm... but not sure if I'll be able to figure out this /home problem... I guess I haven't really looked into it properly... fix it tomorrow, I guess.
My computer is kind of slow too... initially I thought it was fast enough (P3-800... or P2, I dunno), but I was doing some compiling today, and it was really chugging. -_- I think it has too little RAM (256MB), rather than the actual CPU speed. Maybe I can find another 256MB stick somewhere. :P
Well, there's my nerd post for this blog! See you~
