So Ongo Bongo Bongo Bongo, I Don’t Wanna Leave the Congo
Oh, no no no no.
I REALLY need a new computer to play Fallout on (or at least David's over Winter Break :razz: ). I've already sunk forty hours into my new character, because I beat the game on my first character after like twenty-five hours... This time I'm going around and exploring the shit out of everything. It's really compelling to try to find everything in the game world, I'm not sure why. I could NOT get into Oblivion, and even though this is a direct sequal to Fallout 1 and 2, it is still a spiritual sequal to Oblivion.
Over the weekend I Facebook friend-requested that girl I see all over the place, except I haven't seen her in a few days. I believe the last time I saw her was when she was getting off the boat cruise bus with Galina and Katie as I was coming back from 7-11. I then saw on Facebook a picture of her, Galina, Katie, and Sahar, but she was untagged. Galina was able to tell me her name, though. This was like a week or so ago, I think. I figured that since Linda has 1,100 friends on Facebook (does that make her a slut? :razz: ), that she'd be friends with this 'Sarah' girl. Turns out she was. I sent her a message along with the friends request:
Because I see you all over the place and figured I should say hi.
I sent it and immediately thought I did the wrong thing by doing it through Facebook (and stupidly expressed my thoughts to Jeremy):
(05:26:32 AM) Me: i wonder if that's creepy at all
(05:36:04 AM) Jeremy: Creeper
(05:36:10 AM) Jeremy: :P
We've talked a bit via wall writings, though, and things seem to be pretty alright. I just don't know if there's things I could be saying to express.. interest in her? Not like interest interest, but rather that I'd like to get to know her more instead of just talking to her once or twice and then silently nodding at each other whenever we pass.
There are thirteen laptops in use in this class (not including the professor's). Only one of the laptop users is paying attention (not including me).
Hung out in Jeremy's room a bit last night, to "save" him. Ended up having some fun impersonating him on AIM to both Alyssa and Galina. Galina didn't take too kindly to it, but Alyssa seemed to just laugh it off. Mostly talked Fallout with Jeremy, Nathan, and Alex.
I got through test twelve of sixteen by Sunday afternoon. The mailer script was not working properly, however, and we now have a blanket extension until the script is working again. However, I think the best course of action decided upon by Richard, Joy, and me was to work on the next lab, the infamous malloc lab. The malloc lab gave Corey and Phil an immense amount of trouble last semester. They had three weeks to work on it and they still didn't get it working properly. I am not excited. I must start this one early, unlike the shell lab that I started roughly forty-eight hours before it was due (I must say, however, I am pretty pleased with how well it turned out given the amount of time I worked on it). The shell lab was pretty neat and almost.. dare I say it.. fun? The thought crossed my mind to actually make it a usable shell that I might be able to make my default shell. :shock: To make it anywhere near usable, however, would require me to make the shell search the system's paths (as I do not feel like typing in /bin/ls everytime I want to get a directory listing)... Which just means changing all execv() calls to execvp(). Oh, and to implement directory changing. I imagine doing so wouldn't be that hard? I'm pretty sure there's a system call for that.
If anyone's interested in checking it out, the C code is here. Check the comments to figure out which functions I had to write.
Jeremy just noticed the pink sticky notes I stuck on the top corners of his old Dell laptop. They were ears! I put them there sometime last night. Kid hasn't slept all night and I've been talking with him for the majorty of the night/morn (he uses the Dell for AIM and such). I am proud of myself. :grin:
My eyes aren't doing that weird halo thing they do after I've been up for too many hours. This is weird.
Um.. Not much else at the moment? I can't think, really. I've been up far too long.
