Ok, so I am sitting here in my Java class. Bah! It's boring, I have long since completed the in class lab, even the class only started at 8.30am. The instructor is still standing up there talking. I'm ignoring him, as I know all of this already. TechBC really needs a challenge program. I would be so much further ahead then!

Reading thru my livejournal, I see I have a new person watching my journal, diafae. Who are you? They seem to know the North people (cokemangs, galaxychild, kenacan, yellowjam, ziri) so logically there are a North person too.

I'm sitting in front of spitfire, eating lunch now. The TechBC research systems have now been named after WWII aircraft. The workstations are small planes, and the mainframes are bombers. The SGI Onyx is B52. Naming computers is fun!

Spitfire is RH7.2 box, with no security concerns, as it is behind serious firewall stuff. Gord installed all of the Ximian stuff on here, with the RedCarpet system, and I like what it does, but I'm not happy with some of the results. It broke every browser except Konquerer & Netscape 4.

My lunch is chicken teriyaki, one of my usual things. The guys at the teriyaki takeaway know me by name now, and I know them. They know I like extra sauce with mine, and chopsticks instead of a fork.

I have sound piping thru the nice speakers up on top of the Rave displays, so the working area here is starting to get really nice :-).

Next I will set up a DVD player on this box, and hook into the displays and the speakers, then we can have big screen movies that put the rest of what we used to do at North with the projector to shame.

Hmm, so now coming home from TechBC. I think I am coming down with the flu :-(. My throat is sore. I have to do damage control e-mails as well to somebody at TechBC, because somebody is blabbing along the line. Bah!

Tommorow morning I have to go to a meeting downtown now, at NewMIC. They supposedly have a better setup than TechBC with their SGI Onyx and Rave displays. I hear they have 4 screens 8-)! That could be some wicked 3d surrond imagery. Anyway, I have to meet my boss at SFU Harbour centre at 10am, and the meeting will probably take an hour or so, then I'll head back in to Burnaby.

The homework is piling up. I have to the following over the next few days:

• 9 posts for History and Theory of Technology and Culture (Tuesday & Wednesday)
• 9 posts for Process Elements (Tuesday - Thursday)
• Process Elements peer evaluation (Due Friday)
• animated 16x16 icon for New Media Images (Due Thursday)
• Essay for Process Elements (Due Sunday)
• Essay for Business in a Global Economy (Due Sunday)

My old server, fermi, went down for a bit, because dhcpcd flaked out badly. It caused a kernel Oops right in the middle of an interrupt handler. No Magic-SysRq key for me to use to prevent lengthy disk scans after that. I have upgraded dhcpcd now, so hopefully it doesn't happen again.

I have taken a shower, and I'm going to start on homework now. But I feel really tired already.

I'm getting on with my school work slowly. A few more posts for PE, then I can start HTTC for tonight.

Hmm, this band rocks now! The sound is really nice an acoustic.
