After over two weeks of waiting, I finally got my login/password for the evil ISP service. I just had to sign over my soul, which isn't worth much without net access anyway.
FreeSCI
Started merging in the new gfx subsystem. Now that I'm half
way done, I'm pretty sure my ad-hoc widget set design sucks.
Well, I'll call it a prototype and start over...
University
Wrote the last Pre-Diploma test on tuesday. My stomach
believes I'll pass.
(Pre-diploma tests are required to get your Pre-diploma in
Germany. It's not considered an actual degree, though. If it
was, it'd be worth slightly less than a Bachelor's Degree
in CS, AFAIK. So, unless I got the terms wrong, I'm now
something similar to a graduate student (unless I failed the
exam, of course). I don't feel any better yet, though; maybe
I'll have to wait for the actual Pre-diploma to be
Enlightened.)
Debian
They did it... again! Doing two weeks' worths of
updates simultaneously probably was a bad idea, as it broke
my woody (as you can imagine, this is a most painful
experience). Apparently libc is buggy, which meant that all
of the commands I needed to restore the system didn't work.
ar and gzip worked fine (as did cp, but
not ls...), but tar and all commands for doing
remote file transfers were broken, so I had to restore my
system from a different box.
Anime
Finally watched the End of Evangelion. It was more flashy
than the original 25th and 26th episodes and definitely had
more drama (They killed my favorite character! Those
bastards! She got a pretty decent exit, though). I still
enjoyed the original episodes, mostly because they were
pretty expensive, but also because they were quite original
in style (a character development tour de force). Both
variants got the point across, though.
