Things I don't say as they happen

It's interesting how many things happen to me and I never get to write about them. Maybe it's not in my character - all this diary shit.

Anyway, last weekend I spent installing Gentoo Linux on my new PC. It took me about 2 days, which is way shorter than the first time I set it up. Maybe that's because of faster CPU and more RAM, and maybe because of my improved knowledge and overall understanding of what's going on. So now I'm a Linux user, second time in my life, and I supposed to say that Windows sucks which isn't always right. Who cares.

A week before, I started to write RTL8169 NIC driver for Kolibri since in my new PC I havea card which isn't supported by the OS. I actually started porting it from Etherboot project which is the base for almost all Kolibri network drivers. So far, it doesn't work and I even don't know why. Kernel hangs each time new packet is recieved (as I see it). If only I had a bit more time and a bit less wish to sleep...

Today I finally created WebMoney account for people who want to donate for Kolibri. This solution is only for ex-USSR countries where WebMoney is quite known, but what about other Europe, America etc. countries? There's no way to use PayPal here in Belarus, at least I can't register a valid account by myself.

And also, yesterday I overslept again :-\ Why would I ever go sleep at 5:45 am if I know I have to be at work at 10:00 am?

IASO makes me happy

Back to the IASO team here at work, now I realize where my home is :) I can't stand all other projects, even if they are everywhere cool and shining. This one makes me *think*, learn and create beautiful things, either programs or automatically running scripts. Integration with developers is very close, so I can also get some useful knowledge and probably give something back during everyday discussions. I love this work, and hope to see it from the other side soon.

3rd exam with 10 (ain't I good?) ;) Well, only Math left now, who knows what could happen :))

Do that, now!

Do you know that at some point in life you have to stop and say yourself: "Hell, man! Start doing things right!"? This could happen any time, no matter if you're you 10 or 90.

BTW, I passed second exam with 9 out of 10. As expected.
