I’ve been thinking of once again putting some effort to write things into this blog. Hopefully writing here can help me be more organized (since I plan to write summaries of what I do everyday.. or at least quite often), and hopefully the thoughts I at times have during my idle times in the bus don’t just go into thin air as they usually do.

So… today’s summary:

1. Set up Subversion repository in my Dreamhost account for my CS2103 project. Didn’t realize they actually have this feature until very recently -,-
2. Installed TortoiseSVN to go with the repository, set everything up, created the first few revisions of the code (for my part of course).
3. Tried to set up PHP 4 instead of the default PHP 5 in a subdomain I just created in Dreamhost. Spent a lot of time on this because some links in the installscript file given in Dreamhost’s wiki are broken. And I didn’t realize that those links are accessed many times in the installscript. Gah. Another thing, the script set up some common PHP libraries too and this setting up takes a loooong time! Well of course I didn’t just stare at the console and wasted all my time waiting, but still…Erm, what’s more, after spending too much time on this, I decided to go with PHP 5 anyway. My initial reason of wanting to use PHP 4 was because I heard that PHP 5 doesn’t work that well with MySQL. Too bad I didn’t spend reasonable time to research more on this to confirm the fact. After researching a bit, I found out that PHP 5 does just alright with MySQL. As in there’s no major problem. Oh well. At least I learnt some things in the process.
4. Didn’t manage to focus again in CS2100 lecture. It was a short 1-hour lecture but I slept for like 10 minutes at least.

For tomorrow:

1. Got LAC2201 (Chinese 2) midterm test! I’m so not in the mood to study for this. For, like, yet another midterm. But uh, ganbatte!
2. EE2009 lecture. No sleeping!!! Full concentration required!!!
3. Should study for my 2nd attempt at EE2009 e-test. Still got several weeks to go but time passes really fast especially with some projects at hand like this. So yeah should start studying.
4. Code for my CS2103 project.
5. Review CS2100 and write the report for assignment 2.
6. Take some money from the ATM… gosh, judging from the money I have in my pocket, I’m so poor right now… can only buy lunch and that’s it +_+
7. Start nagging my groupmates (and myself) for CS2102 project.. should really start working on this too!
