Monday was my first day of school. so far.. i must say.. very lame, lets hope it gets better. Monday was some management behavioural theory class. anybody that really knows me knows i’m not 100% into that kind of stuff. However I’m gonna make my best effor to pay attention and without a shadow of a doubt pass. Lets back it up a bit though to immediately before my first class. I went up there on monday afternoon and asked to speak with the program co-ordinator for my bsc in IT degree re me recieving a late call 3 weeks into the semester to pick up my acceptance package, long and short of it is she wasn’t having me in the program at this time.. “its too late sir registration have already been closed off” I on the other hand was adamant on the fact that i MUST start school now, I’ll make up for what I have missed on my own time, I cannot sit out another year. After about 15 minutes of this she finally let out a sigh and said. “Alright.. i’ll let you in.. against my gut feeling”. I showed gratitude and said she wouldn’t regret it, I”ll make the school loook good :D.

Now for my class.. hmm i dunno.. I know 1 person in the class i was kinda hoping a i knew non.. I perform better scholastically with strangers.. (no one to converse with). There are about 3 girls in the class that picked up on my interest radar immediately (no names you shall hear from these fingers :p). Lets see how that goes If i’ll be blogging about any of the 3.

My Shedule - I have classes on mondays, tuesdays, and thursdays (thank God today is wednesday = go home and sleep). work stops for me at 4:30 provided there isn’t an emergency or some script that i was working on that i just cannot leave as is. School begins at 5:30, the distance could be traverse in 1 hour. However factor in jamaican traffic and you get an impossible task of being early for school. So far I’ve been late for my first 2 classes and i figure this might be a trend that I can do nothing to change.

Another thing that I have taken up on my head again is my Lpi certifications (linux professional institute certification of system administration). I have got a new book.. (chm file of course) and i’m thinking of buying the real thing on amazon or get some one to buy it for me (do i hear any offers: email me :D). Lpi has nothing to do with my job function but its personal I just want it, Linux has impacted on my life and how i do things in quite a few ways hence the reason for my complete switch from microsoft technologies to opensource technologies (linux - flavor of preference debian based Ubuntu). I really wish my pocket pc was linux based too but whatever i guess.

A few things that i need to figure out with my current linux book (ubuntu on my dell e1505 notebook) setup are:

1. Ipod syncing - Yes I’m aware of gtkpod however it doesn’t work well for me.
2. ttys - multiple displays meaning ctrl + alt + fx (fx being f1,f2,f3 through f7) each displaying a different x server where you can run different sessions simultaneously.. sadly only the default f7 works.
3. multimedia card reader - my card reader will not pick up anyting but sd cards no mmc, no memory stick , no xd
4. Samba - I need to clear my samba files or probably do a full re-install of it. There was some curruption done by me the last time i configured it so right now there’s not much networking going on with my system from the stand point of someone trying to see me on a network (i can see em just fine). I think is the samba pdc Db that i need to re do.
