by Vasil Kolev Finished :) I fixed the old bad things, make the right structures (thanks to Penchev and chervarium for the ideas last night:) ). It was a nice writing, too bad it’s over, there could be some more debugging, but that’s it…
There are 3-4 pages on the desk in front of me, with pseudo code and schemes, there is the possibility that I’ll became a programmer some day :) Of course, I implemented it with some mistakes (because the pseudo code wasn’t detailed enough, and I didn’t think about some things in depth), so i needed about 2 hours of patching things up, and fixing some bit errors. Andrey (the head web developer at bastun.net) sent me 9 examples, 3 of which I failed, one helped me to find a mistake. The 3 variants that don’t work aren’t possible to be done without putting a whole html/javascript rendering engine in the server, which will make him 2200k source from 200k (or 20200k).
The writing on paper really helps to organize your thoughts, Dijkstra was right about a lot of things :)
My UPS is back, with new batteries, and is humming happily down in the corner, tomorrow I’ll test it to see it’s behavior :)
The download of RevolutionOS, who was recommended to me by (the damn qmail-admirer) Zhoro, I’ll probably get my notebook, and watch it in bed, before bedtime, I’m out of books in the queue (or I could reread Saharov s memories again, we’ll see). There isn’t any new interesting anime, e.g. there is one, but I still don’t find enough willingness to watch it, my first impression was awful (the main character was crying about something most of the time).
Tomorrow “im going to call the doctor, and make an appointment, my blood pressure fell again, and I had to drink 2 glasses of red wine to get myself up. The roommate said that I’m just looking for a reason to drink (like i need one …).
There is a nice review on slashdot about MacOS X Server, and it looks pretty nice, for the low class (home/small office), even I probably would use it. Who knows, Apple could try to do something in the higher class, but they’ll need 4processor machines – that won’t be that a big problem, the hardware architecture they’re migrating to (power5) won’t have a problem. It’ll be interesting if they start pushing Dell of the market…
I have to talk a bit with Boyan, I’m interested in why he has such a negative impressions from Bulgaria, after he came back… I never had such a paranoia when I’m walking outside, and I don’t get that annoyed (and I’m pretty deformed professionally, every admin needs to be paranoid :) ).
