The day started by running around the Old College looking for the workstation room, after finally finding it, I settled down to work on looking around for Java with Postgres, as this was the database we are working with…Looking around the web wasn’t much help,nothing was going to be easy, especially as I’m not great with SQL.
Ugh, off to another late start, rolled out of bed at 8:10am again…Just about to have some breakfast…Today’s blog may be more of a continually updated commentary of what’s going on…But who knows, eh?
Today started off with rolling out of bed at 8:10am, out the house for 8:50, I had left it a tad late to make it up the hill in time, though my phone helped, playing a crap, compressed version of 99 Luftballons.
A good friend of mine, Aled Hughes, spoke to me today on msn and was talking to me about a feature he found on Leopard. If you press shift+option+volume (option being ‘alt’), then you can increment/decrement the volume by a quarter of a volume block:
Another of those little features Apple like to hide 
Since my last post I eventually got around to trying to install Debian and Fedora onto my spare box…But it would appear that neither would run on it…I spent today jiggling my main box around to fit not only Windows and Solaris, but also Debian and Fedora…Alas, Debian still won’t run (doesn’t install GRUB so can’t boot to it). Fedora would go, but Solaris was stubborn. Just about to reinstall Solaris now to see if I can rectify the problem…Ahhh, the wonders of technology…
OK, exams finished on Thursday…I let myself recoup on Friday and today I decided have a play with my spare tower…Up until recently I have had OpenSuse 10.2 on there running GNOME (the CPU is an old AMD Athlon and it has an ancient GPU and goodness knows how much RAM).
Held between the 14th and the 18th of January, Apple today released two new exciting products and two enhancements to two of their already awesome product range.
It’s a new year and time to get up and go after the Christmas break, however, for us students at Aber uni (as well as other students I’m sure), we look forward to a bunch of exams in stuff we can’t quite remember (perhaps we drank too much or ate too much turkey or something).
