New Title: Subversion Masta

Okay… more like… Subversion… journeyman.

Which reminds me… I should start up WoW again. Ah.. haha… [nervous chuckle]

I think I ran into almost every possible problem I could… ranging from file permission problems to authorization problems… but of course, the subversion I set up for work was an extremely simple one… no Apache, just svnserve, as well as no ssh either, just using the passwd file.

Alas, it’s done. Whoo hoo.

Now for more JavaScript.

Another Personal Update

Yes, I realize there’s been a lack of actual content with the blog.

I apologize.

Instead, you keep getting my personal ramblings. Yikes.

I’m currently working on an entry on Facebook and how it’s changing social networking in the real world, as well as a post on why I started buying books again, especially technical books.

Yahoo! Homework is going swimmingly. I’m almost set, except for a little JavaScript magic which should take about an hour, as well as going for a couple more bonus points for compatibility with multiple browsers. That’ll be most of tomorrow spent at Grainger.

Which brings me to a few things I have to finish up as I leave Grainger. Subversion demo/presentation is tomorrow at 10, and so I am completing some documentation for that.

Need coffee. Not an all-nighter, but I just need a boost.

By the way, Dave Brubeck is amazing. Someone please point me to some other good Jazz musicians… this is a new genre of music I need to continue exploring.

Oh, and beer tasting. Something tells me I’ll be… slightly inebriated tomorrow.

Let’s see… more randomness…

Grainger’s full today. All the nerds are studying for their finals. Why wasn’t I like this back in the day…

Oh one last thing I’ve realized… I cannot get work done at my apartment here on campus. One thing, my apartment is not very inviting for work, because of the horrible desk height/chair combo (as well as the lighting). I’m going to have to revisit some ergonomic issues later, but… looks like it doesn’t really matter much anymore. I’m really amazed that I got any work done in the past 4 months there… wow.

A larger issue is that… I have a feeling I really do have to get out from where I sleep to get work done. Be it the kitchen table… or even a separate office room. This is all, of course, planning for the days of the start-up.

Look at the time, back to work!

The To-Do List

Either things are actually due on Monday, or I’m making them so.

  • Design “Homework” for Y!: I got started today… only a couple of hours here and there. Looks like there’s quite a bit to be done.
    • Note to self: Don’t get bogged down in the details. Optimize later…
    • Goal tonight: Finish the markup, at least.
  • CVS/SVN presentation: Both from the admin and the client point of view (including Mac and PC svn clients). I’ve implemented the server before, but I’m still not 100% satisfied as to what I can actually do.
    • Note to self: Don’t get bogged down in the details. Once again… stop being so darn detail-oriented
  • Slowdown bug for Moodle upgrades: Using Xdebug to profile Moodle, and to see where the bottleneck is…
    • Possible Solution: Cache the DB if the problem is indeed MySQL.
    • Goal tonight: Continue figuring out where the bottleneck is… debugging isn’t as nearly as fun as design…
  • Attend the Webmaster Forum on Thursday: Means… I have to go back to Urbana by Wednesday night.
  • Decide who to tell about my dreams and hopes…
    • Indeed… tricky situation…

Silliness in Siebel

Chalupa, Part 3

There goes the diet.

Been at Siebel for about 9 hours.

Instead of looking at the business-related “documentation” I’ve accumulated over the past couple of days (I cannot believe how useful my Entrepreneurship class notes packet is…), I’ve decided to go and wear the coding hat again.

More and more, I see these two natures battling within me. I really want to be able to wear the two hats well… do I really have to pick? Can’t I be both?
