Life moves on
Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated anything here. Insight is moving along, but has currently stalled while I'm in exam mode. I'm not going to talk about that though — this is a rare personal post.
First day of work!
Well today was my first day at my 6-month work placement. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick the admin stuff was to sort out. I got all my passwords and usernames and everything (aside from a few hiccups). I'd even been receiving email since February, which I thought was quite impressive. Add to this my shiny brand-new computer, just for me to set up exactly the way I want, and I'm happy. Oh, and I can even use Linux if I wish. Hurrah for a corporation that understands these things 
Exams: one down, three to go
Well that was nowhere near as bad as I'd expected. In fact, it was almost good (and I finished 30min early)! Turns out that Derren Brown's memory techniques actually work, if you apply them 
Well done to Motti for predicting Oticon coming up. I'm just waiting for others to finish so we can go to the pub and drown our collective sorrows... and rejoice that we never have to deal with this subject again. Then it's back to work for me... need to obtain payment from a client and then work for another client and help out in the labs for the last time this year. And buy tickets for the cinema all-nighter on Tuesday. Oh, and revise.
Dedicated hosting
I now have something to distract me when I should be preparing for exams (although, naturally, it won't). Retiarius has just purchased a dedicated server from FastHosts (on which server this blog is now running) and so I've been spending time setting it up. So far, it has Apache, BIND, MySQL, PHP4 and PHP5 in parallel, and the beginnings of the RageControl backend. I'll slowly be adding more and more features and software over the coming weeks, including FTP and email... and maybe more bits of RageControl.
