It's good to be done
...at least until finals.
So we had an assignment for CPE 317 that was due today. Make a command shell. If you don't use Linux or Unix, imagine that little black box you get when you run "cmd" from the start menu. It gives you the cool little "C:\ >" prompt, and you type in a command and it runs that command. Yeah, that's what I had to do basically.
I woke up at 10:30 today and started programming. Except for a lunch break, I pretty much worked straight until 9pm. But I did do my entire last program, down to the tinyest little bug. That tiny bug happened to be something weird that only showed up in Linux, not on the server (Solaris), if I tried to change directories to something that wasn't there, then the second command I typed after that would have some weird error. Don't ask me why, that's just what happened. So after trying to fix it for a couple hours, I decided that everything else worked, and if it didn't show up on the server, that it probably wasn't worth spending hours on for something I might not even lose points on. So I was done! Sweet.
Now I have three days until my first final. Awesome. Tomorrow I think I will hang up some Christmas lights and maybe run that network cable I keep meaning to do, since our landlord's husband came by to do some painting on the roof and (intentionally or not, I don't know) left a ladder here capable of reaching the second story.
