Today was mainly spent playing with thoddo (laptop) and hacking PHP.<\/p>\n
Come a long way now on Computing coursework with return journeys and a GUI sorted out and more started, but still far too much left to do.<\/p>\n
thoddo now has a 20Gb hard disk and is dual booted between Windows XP and a Knoppix hard disk install. This may not sound much, but upon aquiring the laptop I was told it was impossible to install Windows on because it overheats too quickly. My method of installation included patience, intuition and a gel cool pack from the freezer which was re-inserted into the freezer twice during the installation period. Who needs money to buy an expesive laptop that actually works?!<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.unc.edu\/~cigar\/papers\/FileSharing_March2004.pdf <<-- Professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee, of Harvard Business School is my new favourite person (yes I did just say that about a Business academic). \n\nA summary of his 52 page paper is basically that file sharing does not have a negative impact on record sales, in fact it may even have a positive effect. It's what teenagers have been saying all along... long live creativecommons and copylefting is all I can say.\n\nSchool was quoted a sum of money greater than the anual wage of our IT technician to upgrade four servers today... oh how we laughed.\n\nMr C gave me an extremely useful article about ASP, web services and .Net the *day after* I sent my geek test off for the job application, grr! Oh well, not his fault :P\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
