It seems a large number of local factories have you go to WC instead of the business to fill out an app. <p>God, I hope one of these gets me a job. Nothing else seems to be working out for me. <p>Recent bursts of insanity: <ul> <li>Make a .deb of <a href="http://www.slashnet.org/">cyclone</a> (IRCd based on dalnet's dreamforge). <p>This should be relatively easy, right? Just take the existing .deb for ircd-dalnet and convert it? Not me. I have to make things difficult. <p>I want to make a few changes. It's not enough for me to have the existing ircd.conf. I want to not be required to enter certain information at compile time (hostname, services hostname, contact email/url, etc.). Do I know anything about C? Not yet... <li>Autoconfiscate and make a .deb of <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">OpenOffice</a>. <p>I've never autoconfiscated anything before, and I know less of C++ than I do of C. However, I love the challenge... <p>Besides, I'm not familiar with dmake or tcsh. </ul> Wed, 28 Mar 2001 04:09:32 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/Orion/diary.html?start=0 http://www.advogato.org/person/Orion/diary.html?start=0 <p>For quite some time, in fact most of my life, I've been sitting around, watching everyone do what they do, perhaps adding a comment here or there, complaining an awful lot.... I've never really been one to write down whatever I'm doing, although I tend to repeat it over and over again to any poor soul who just happens to be lifeless enough to sit around and listen to me. <p>It's time for that to change. <p>I just hope I can keep up with the goals I give myself this time...
