6:33 PM - bsdstats

I just love the bsdstats project.  It's so interesting to see what systems are on there.  PC-BSD is number 2 and they report on all installs by default.  MirBSD also does that.  I don't know about DesktopBSD.  We do not report on all of them and I've got our build cluster in there now. :) 

Some systems have not reported yet and there will be more running MidnightBSD shortly.  I wish those were "real" users.  I mean people do use it an EMU now, but I'd like to see some random people listed.  Perhaps I should reconsider the reporting.

6:37 PM - Nervous about this test

I've got a CS test in 30 minutes or so.  I'm not prepared as I'd like to be. 

I spent 10 minutes reading the manual on my calculator.  I'm so mixed about buying this thing.  It can do so many things, but I don't know how to use it and it's not intuitive to me.  Doh!  I miss the Ti85. 

The CS work is another matter.  I think I know most of the technical data, but I'm not sure about procedures.  Half the test is math and that is not my strong suit.  We can have very limited notes, but I'm not sure they will be of much help.  For instance, one type of problem requires synthetic division of binary numbers.  I understand the procedure to do that, but I almost always make a mistake and end up with the wrong result.  Since he only gives 1 point, that means I automatically get the problem wrong even though I get the procedure.  There are going to be 15-20 1 point problems and some require a lot of work.  One mistake or putting it in the wrong units can be the end as you only get 1 point.  It sucks.

I studied before my english class, after my english class, and probably one more time before class starts.  I can't relax as I know how I an English paper due and a programming assignment (wed and thurs respectively).
