Life

Watch out, NITIots! mrwise and I are coming to Montréal this weekend to grace you with our magnificent presence. e-mail me if you want to go out for beers or foos or something.

More poking and prodding by medical experts, including an annoying test next week where I can't eat anything for a day. On the plus side, the specialist gave me a prescription for B12, so I can stop feeling shitty while they do all this stuff :)

And I'm so gonna look for a bank account that gives me a free gun when I'm in the states!

Exams

They suck. I procrastinated an incredible amount studying for my CS 370 exam I had today, and now I'm glad I did. It was dead easy, not worth even the paltry amount of studying I did do. Mon examen de français est demain. Je pense qu'il sera assez facile; mon français écrit n'est pas très mal. Ce qu'il faut améliorer, c'est mon français oral. C'est un peu bizarre je suppose; je connais beaucoup de personnes qui trouvent l'inverse. C'est peut-être que pour moi, c'est plus facile d'obéir les régles de grammaire que d'oser parler.

CUPS

hub: you may want to dig around in Niti's CVS a bit. I remember writing a patch to CUPS that made it start up considerably faster, for an old version of ExpressionDesktop. I don't remember what happened to it, but my guess is "nothing." :) I'm not sure if it would still be relevant, but it's probably worth a look.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
