tfheen Wed, 07 Jan 2004 - The first day of the semester

So, there passed the first day of the semester. As I wrote, I didn't sleep too much last night, so I've been a bit tired most of the day. I've been to this "Experts in team", where we are organized in "villages" which will then be subdivided into teams. Our village has the theme "Art and IT", which might turn out very interesting or dead boring. I'm not sure yet, but we'll see soon enough.

This lasted until approximately 15:00, when I went from the University to Samfundet, a student house. There I spent a few hours trying to trick this server into accepting a XP2400+ or MP2200+ processor, but in vain. I'm a senior in the IT group there, so I attended a meeting (though; a meeting sounds really really formal. It's just a student group). Nice seeing people again. Later, I started getting 2.6 onto the server, did a few dist-upgrades on the workstations and general maintenance. Also fixed some work stuff, including breaking one of the more important servers there.

tfheen Wed, 07 Jan 2004 - moving stuff, cleaning and such

Since my blog is still fairly new, it's a little bit in flux. I've moved Debian from / to /tech, and trying to put some non-Debian tech pieces in there. Thanks to Apache's nice RedirectMatch support, it was just one line in a .htaccess file. I'm not sure if that'll scale if I continue moving stuff around, but I hope so. I am of the firm belief that URLs which are published and not clearly temporary (includes /tmp or /temporary or something) should be valid for as long as possible, even when it's painful to maintain it.

I think I need some better formatter for pybloxsom; writing HTML isn't my style, but the wikiparser sucks. I guess I'll take a look at the other offerings before I'll look at writing my own. I'm trying to structure myself a little bit and possibly make pyblosxom into something of a personal portal or something, but also interesting and usable for other people. Not sure how it'll work out, but I'll give it a shot.

tfheen Wed, 07 Jan 2004 - bus, bus, bus

Taking the bus from Trondheim to Oslo was very, very nice. That one left Trondheim at 10:00 and was in Oslo at approximately 18:00. The bus was nice and big and spacy. The bus back again was a regular bus, and I slept just a few hours. Luckily, I'm fairly well-rested, so I'm fine, even though I'll have a full day today. Lucky me.

It was nice meeting Hanne again, we talked a bit and went around in Oslo, shopping a little and wandering around. I'm tired, and looking forward to getting my studies going again. Lots and lots to do.
