Sitsofe's diary for May 2000

Sussed how to get SUCS printer working across the network on smerf's machine.

Mac moz doesn't seem to be so bad but still seems to be lagging behind the stability of the other platforms I test on. Need to do three days of Economics revision for exam on Monday.

Attempts to hack a nice win32 interface for MapSUCS in Delphi are currently failing.

Found out I had money and my student union card stolen from my wallet this morning :(. Sat my first exam (logic programming) too. Worked out how to get Netscape to use P: drive profile on LIS account. Another note to self: when you move someone's directory .netscape folder needs to be rebuilt.

Played XPilot again and remember just how fun it was and how I wished I had it spawned more power-ups.

Tidied up a few permissions and found out it wasn't my fault that samba stopped working. Did many hours of revision. Mac moz is currently busted so I'm currently listening to the radio using SHOUTcast. Which reminds me - I must write an intro to MP3s on the SUCS website...

After the rigours of running for SUCS president I'm currently revising for exams over the next few weeks so I guess my plan is to get those finished :).

When I've got the time I'm still testing Moz, and even found the time to shuffle about the societies' uids. To my grief this resulted in having to go round and make sure that everything they owned before is reassigned to them (note to self: this includes /var/spool/mail/$ and /tmp/orbit-$). One day I'll write an almighty program called unification to make this sort of thing less brain dead...
