20070720@TAFE

Thaaat's right ppls, I'm at TAFE. Daniel's shoulder-browsing as I write this :P but anywho... I still think 6am is far too early in the morning to be getting up. I'm supposed to be finishing up here today at 3pm then I'll head home, shove some stuff in the car and head out to Warwick.

I probably forgot to mention that yesterday... and the day before... and probably the day before that. I'm heading out to Warwick to do a tech support call :-)... and to get away a little bit I guess? I'll leave this arvo pretty much straight after TAFE then come back by Saturday night in time for sleep and church the next day. It'll be good fun! Maybe a lil expensive though but who cares :-P.


At the moment, I'm just listening to the teacher talk about CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Engineer Administrator [got mixed up with MCSE - Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer]? I think...). Apparently we can do part of the CCNA as part of our course. It's all self-paced learning though. We're supposed to go lookup everything online, learn, etc... If it doesn't cost anything, I'll probably give it a go. Should be good... if I pass. There's 4 parts to it, I dunno how many we get to do though but it'd be better than nothing.

My install of the ATI drivers on my Gentoo Linux box kept me up a bit longer than I hoped last night. I had to wait for the thing to re-compile the whole kernel... By the look of it, I'll have to do it again too... I've got the driver installed but it can't find the device. From what I found from having a quick hunt around Google before bed, I'm thinking that it's a problem with the way the kernel's handling the connection to the card through the chipset :-(. I'll look at it more when I get back from Warwick though.

Time to wrap it up and get back to paying attention in-class :-P. BYE!
