Been kinda busy here lately; a few things have changed in my life. Let's start with school.
School has been keeping me busy. I'm only taking two classes, but between them and work I've had to re-learn how to manage my time. My networking basics class turned out to be not-so-basic.
My professor said there really should have been prerequisites to the class, but he said he'll get me through it. Truth be told though, it feels less like a class and more of a place to review what we were supposed to read the previous week. The guy knows his stuff, but the class does not feel like it is his top priority if that makes sense. See, he teaches at Texas A&M AND our community college, and I feel like his primary focus is with TAM. Our class should have also have had projects and hands-on exercises to put our knowlege to use like: building networks, wiring, server configuration, etc... But we have not done any of these things yet. Hopefully we are just powering through bookwork and will get to interesting things after spring break. He also ends class a lot sooner than it should have run. I dunno, I'll keep studying like a madman, but it's boring me to tears solely reading about the subject.
I've also returned to playing a really cool RTS: "Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak." When I was around 11 or 12, I played the original game quite extensively. Met some of the coolest -and strangest- people from that game. I miss them a lot sometimes... Anyway, shoutout to the old Homeworld clans! Xeno, LS, VX, PSA, SF, and GURU are the ones I remember. If anyone was there, shoot me an email!
Kinda weird work story to tell. Recently our facility's day yard controller was fired... Turns out he got into a fight and ended up going WWE on another shifter. One suplex and a broken table later, he and the other guy were gone. Maybe he can get a job as a pro wrestler if he's not in jail? :^) Sounds horrible, and I do feel bad for them, but work is not worth getting into fights over. People need to chill out around there.
Anyway, I'm going back to either studying or indulging in old internet things from the late 90s. Probably indulging. Later!
