Segfault

A day when you have to carefully read through 500 lines of code to find, what causes segmentation fault is not what I call a good day.

A day when you have to find an eternal cycle in the same lines of code after you catch the cause of segmentation fault isn't fun either.

Knowing that tomorrow you have a midterm test of Data Bases from SQL, when you have never in your life studied SQL and you have never ever been to Data Bases lectures - simply priceless.

Well, at least it snowed a bit today. I love snow.

I have a couple of thousands of Python lines still to come. Small part of them - tomorrow. A bigger chunk - next week.

Why why oh why do I understand programming? I could be some stupid moron instead and study... I don't know, marketing, management, anything else? Or, on another hand, why am I not a chick and can't use their *blink blink*, *look at me, I'm so cute, ain't I, so you wouldn't hurt me with a bad mark, would you?* and other special weapons that would help me immeasurably in this situation?

RIGHT NOW: Reading Phillip K. Dick's "A Scanner Darkly". I actually saw the movie first and was impressed (because Keanu Reeves is soooo cute, and I'm not even gay (no matter what Tiffy says)). I have also read Dick's "Ubik", which is also a very weird book. But they are well written weird books, I can give him that.

P.S. Sorry for a bit harder on the eyes blog background, but the previous got bugged for no apparent reason, and it's too late to spend additional five minutes carefully choosing from the pregenerated blog layouts (like I would ever bother with creating my own layouts anyway).

Wikimapia, Gloves and Management Basics

So you thought you were forgotten for a while, huh. Well, sorry, but I was too busy pretending like I was studying for mid-term test from Management Basics. If you think that subject is stupid - you're dead on. As you can easily guess, I didn't study at all and I'm proud of it, because I got 83% anyway. And by "didn't study" I mean skipped about a half of the lectures and didn't even bother to get a textbook. When I don't study, I mean it.

Except that, there isn't much to write about. I got myself a new addiction which is called Wikimapia. Now that thing is a million times more fun to edit than Wikipedia. Since I am a huge racing fan, first of all I started adding and editing various race courses in Lithuania and elsewhere. Three hours later, I have three kart tracks and three proper race tracks in Lithuania, historic Pescara circuit (huh, no one ever bothered to map out that one???) and St.Petersburg street circuit, where IRL races are held (again, huh?). In short, that thing is awesome.

What else... Oh, yes, of course, I bought myself a pair of gloves that go right up to your elbow and a scarf. Yes, I know they both look kind of girlish, but I don't give a damn. I'm kind of used to the fact that Tiffy increases my girl-or-gay-o-meter something like once every week, so it means I will be a girl or a gay in a couple of years, so why bother evading that. After all, those gloves are so cute and warm... And black!

RIGHT NOW: Just back from the bath and to the bed! I need my sleep badly, because this week I had seriously too little of it. 12 hour sleep, here I come.

Sleepy sleepy sleepy fairy princess (mooo!!!)

Last time I tried to be brief, I wrote one of the longest posts in this blog (out of four).

This time I ain't doing that mistake. It's 2:45 am and I want to sleep badly..

By the way, today something went 'click' in my brain and all of a sudden I started enjoying concurrent programming and started thinking its problems are actually cool. Either I am going insane or the world is going to end in 24 to 48 hours from now.

By the way squared, Tiffy raised my girl-o-meter up to 15% just because this blog is called diary. Oh come on, don't try to tell me only girls write diaries.

RIGHT NOW: I have just watched Scott Nicholson's video review of Blue Moon City boardgame. The dude is really awesome at presenting boardgames and his reviews are really worth watching... if you're interested in boardgames, that is.
