Exams

Soo linux is looking pretty good. My .tar.bz2 archive of my partition is a grand total of 978MB, something that I'm incredibly proud of. I would have gone with Slax and have a 200MB install, but the problem with Slax is that it doesn't save you radata; it has to be manually saved into a module file. Otherwise, all data is reset upon reboot.

So should end my ranting about linux. It's time for me to panic about exams. The only exam I'm really worried about is AP Chem, other than that all should go well. All the same, I have a lot of catching up to do with Chem. As of late I have a solid B in the class, which I hear is fantastic given my circumstances. A lot of my classmates can barely pull off a B-, so given that I've managed to score a B in Chem just from flying in abroad mid-term (and mid-year) is considered a feat in and of itself. Now to bring it up to an A!! :)

I'm annoyed about the pastebin code that I published. It worked at first, but then pastebin got wise and started asking for a captcha code, which my perl script could (obviously) not decipher. So now I'm off to try and figure out a way of using curl to publish my stuff, which I'm not entralled about. At least I found out about cpan, which allows me to install perl libraries from the command line. I couldn't find a way of installing the curl libraries before, but now that I have cpan it should be a bit easier.

In case you're wondering how to install libraries using cpan, go into your terminal and type:

That code was not published using my script. I've had to go in manually and install it. I'll see if I can find the time to rework it using curl later on.

Happy studying to all! And jealousy to mes amis en France qui ont finis leurs compos. Extreme jealously.
