03:13:46 [markd2]
kinda
03:13:47 [markd2]
whazzon?
03:13:48 [Psychephylax]
hehehehehe
03:13:57 [Psychephylax]
I'm so senioritised
03:14:14 [markd2]
you're spanish now?
03:14:27 [Psychephylax]
no
03:14:27 [Psychephylax]
hehe
03:14:35 [Psychephylax]
I have hardcore senioritis
03:15:00 [Psychephylax]
no desire to do work I don't care about
03:19:23 [markd2]
just make sure yu don't fail out and have to re-do all this
03:19:25 [markd2]
and re-pay!
03:19:29 [Psychephylax]
yes I know
03:19:35 [Psychephylax]
I think I'm good on 2 of the 3 classes
03:19:44 [Psychephylax]
And the one I'm worried about is totally irrelevant
03:19:49 [Psychephylax]
To me being a competent programmer
03:19:56 [markd2]
that doesn't matter
03:20:02 [markd2]
so long as it's irrelevant to the diplma
03:20:07 [Psychephylax]
I'm thinking of just telling the professor to pass me with a C ;(
03:20:35 [Psychephylax]
You're right it is irrelevant to the diploma...They realized it was a pointless class so they got rid of it
03:20:54 [Psychephylax]
But since I was accepted to the program waaaaay back in 98 I have to follow the old stupid requirements
03:21:41 [markd2]
heh
03:21:44 [markd2]
sometimes that can work to your advantage
03:21:55 [markd2]
a friend of mine got out of a really lame class because he got in right before a catalog change
03:22:09 [Psychephylax]
yeah and I got forced into taking all these lame ones
03:27:33 [markd2]
bummer
03:32:50 [Psychephylax]
yeah
03:32:52 [Psychephylax]
big bummer
03:33:01 [Psychephylax]
I have no desire to take this class
03:33:23 [Psychephylax]
Therefore, even if he fails me, I will probably fail it another 2-3 times before I put forth any effort
03:34:07 [markd2]
which class is this?
03:34:17 [Psychephylax]
Digital Circuit design
03:34:31 [Psychephylax]
We get to build flip flops and counters that count
03:34:39 [Psychephylax]
Booooooooooooooring
03:34:47 [markd2]
wooooooo
03:34:51 [Psychephylax]
exactly
03:34:58 [Psychephylax]
Do you see why I refuse to put forth any effort?
03:35:11 [Psychephylax]
if I ever need a lock...I go to the local hardware store
03:35:13 [Psychephylax]

We have cubicles now
15:38:53 [davb]
cool! Now you feel exactly like veal.
15:39:02 [Psychephylax]
veal?
15:39:24 [davb]
baby cows, live in a little box their whole life...
15:41:55 [davb]
The scary part is my office at home is smaller than my cubicle and has 3 computers, two desk, two printers etc...

16:32:30 [Psychephylax]
ummm
16:32:34 [Psychephylax]
what's wrong with this line:
16:32:37 [Psychephylax]
set online_pct [format "%.2f" [expr $online_pct/100.0]]
16:32:41 [Psychephylax]
It worked fine before
16:33:40 [davb]
what is it doing/not doing?
16:33:51 [Psychephylax]
it's crashing now
16:34:00 [Psychephylax]
syntax error in expression " / 100.0"
16:34:00 [Psychephylax]
while executing
16:34:00 [Psychephylax]
"expr $online_pct / 100.0"
16:34:01 [davb]
with an error?
16:34:06 [Psychephylax]
and it worked fine before
16:34:26 [Psychephylax]
I did replace an irrelevant file but I don't see how that would mess it up
16:34:43 [davb]
what is the value of $online_pct when that is run?
16:35:34 [Psychephylax]
hang on
16:38:19 [markd2]
adda space after online_pct?
16:38:36 [markd2]
ah
16:38:37 [markd2]
syntax error in expression " / 100.0"
16:38:43 [markd2]
online_pct is probably empty
16:39:41 [Psychephylax]
very possible
16:39:43 [Psychephylax]
It does make sense
16:39:54 [markd2]
helps to read all the lines of the error message
16:42:48 [Psychephylax]
ok
16:42:51 [Psychephylax]
it's the new file...
16:42:56 [Psychephylax]
time to go inventory modems

17:49:08 [davb]
argh, the pilot light on the furnace went out and I am not at home.
17:50:57 [Psychephylax]
And you know this beeecaaauuuuseee?
17:53:18 [davb]

17:53:42 [Psychephylax]

17:53:45 [davb]
I need an electric ingnition for that thing.
17:53:53 [davb]
What did you think the furnace emailed me :)?
17:54:04 [Psychephylax]
actually...yes
17:54:21 [Psychephylax]
That or you had some sort of a camera pointed at it
17:54:24 [Psychephylax]
or heat sensors
17:54:33 [Psychephylax]
We're geeks
17:54:39 [Psychephylax]
we have these sorts of gadgets
17:57:47 [davb]
I just might have to get one.
17:58:07 [davb]
That would be cool. I could put cameras all over the place...
17:58:16 [Psychephylax]
They have that sort of stuff
17:58:20 [Psychephylax]
I saw it at CompUSA

I have a little over 1 ream of completely useless paper which I was instructed to take data out of the computer and put on this paper.
20:54:20 [davb]
I assume sometime in the near future I will then take all the data on the paper and put it back into the computer.
20:54:36 [davb]
Noone can satifactorily explain why we can't just leave the data in the computer.
20:55:21 [davb]
Apparently there is an overabundance of trees and pencils.
20:55:52 [markd2]
persistent offline backup system
20:56:11 [markd2]
is this like a printout of some big program?
20:56:39 [davb]
Its a printout of the bogus data I have to somehow turn into useful data.
20:57:08 [davb]
I have to take the IDno of the row in the new table and map it to the old table.
20:57:19 [davb]
Why I need a 15 lb binder for this I am not sure.
20:58:06 [davb]
ola: now you know why I haven't been able to look at static pages :)
20:58:18 [davb]
After I am done with this I have no will to hack.
