The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Its halloween! Yeah its a holiday for caryn and a shit day for me. Happy my ass. I can thank my parents for this! I feel like a grinch. Dickheads.

I decided to stay home and do a bit of evil gnome programming today. Its evil in the novell or FSF sort of way. I hear a beater in the parking lot squeling like there's no tomorrow... Anyway, I have the base class created for my text editor assignment. Yes, i have to write a TEXT EDITOR in gnome! What a bitch. I have to create four more classes and then i can think about actually working on text editing. How fun. This sucker is do on the 3rd at like 8am.

I installed steam for linux on the server and am hoping to get a second game server up soon. Its a DOD server (day of defeat). If i get into it a lot i may buy the source version and run that. My memory tweaks with malloc really helped the server out a lot.

Well I created the stl list of instances now and i'm working on creating an instance and getting it running on the server. If this works then i only have to deal with command line arguments and so forth. I'm hoping :)

Getting weird behavior.. can't get on steam public master and ip address binding is localhost. I got to get this figured out.

Well apple released a new OS version on Halloween. How strange :) It better be the miracle release though.. i'm tired of the 10.4.x stability issues. At 97mb (and i do have all latest patches and 10.4.2) this better really impress me!

Oracle has a beta release of a free oracle database product aimed at microsoft's free sql server 2005 express. Its a mirror match on features and specs. Oracle also has a migration wizard available.

How fun... almost over with.. i can't wait. I didn't even go to class or work today. I got some work on my programming assignment done and went to lunch at bilbos with caryn. Gotta love pizza... I attempted to get the qemu emulator running on my freebsd router in the hopes of running windows under bsd. If not windows, linux in a stable manner. Actual linux would give me oracle, sun's webserver with asp support, mono (.net vm) and the advantage of a virtual machine that can get hacked to hell.. i just drop down a fresh copy of the disk image with all software ready to go. Thinking about it, linux might make more sense. I wanted to do .net but it might be hard to get windows to run stable on a vm, and linux is the target os. Hell i can run linux for sparc or linux x86 native with this thing. Caryn's watching tv i think. Just finished dinner. Got my ibook upgraded to 10.4.3 and so far mail.app is running flaky. SMB is very slow and there was a giant pause... dashboard is faster, and software update still sucks. Maybe someday... its no worse than windows xp prior to sp1. My computer is VERY load... i need to look at that.
