Lots of things.<\/p>\n
After my blogathon on Monday, I spent all night searching for and emailing people about jobs. Thanks to all those who replied. Including Jono<\/a> who wants me to take his dog<\/a> for a crap every lunchtime until I find an IT job.<\/p>\n Yesterday I spent a few hours looking at the job responses, listened to LUG Radio<\/a> season 2 episode 16<\/a>, read a few blogs and then spent the rest of the day until about 3am working on my assignment<\/a>.<\/p>\n To be honest it wasn’t that hard, I compiled Apache<\/a> about a month ago but got stuck when my assigned port number was wrong. Then when I was given the right port number, I set up the virtual hosts wrong and was getting forbidden errors. Mostly I just did some reading of the Apache docs<\/a> which got me on the right road and I set the rest of the stuff up with a bit of hacking.<\/p>\n Awstats<\/a> was a pain in the arse to set up as it doesn’t seem to take any notice of where you tell it to put the config files so I had to hack the awstats.pl script itself to use the right path. Maybe I ought to file this as a bug. I have much pretty done most of the A, B and C grade stuff with the exception of setting up SSI with the X Bit Hack. I also need to set up a cron job to update awstats. I might also do a few extra A grade bits and pieces, just to make sure of the highest possible grade. I hope to do that today along with the D grade stuff, before I go to the Wolves LUG meeting tonight and give a most likely drunken [to the tune of Blue Moon] bom be be bom be bom be bom bom be be bom be be dang a dang a dong ding a dang a ging-a-ling<\/a> a lift home.<\/p>\n After the meeting or tomorrow I hope to finish off any residual bits of the assignment and tidy up the html pages to be actually reasonable in appearance. After that I can get back to talking to people about their suggestions and offers of jobs applications, to filling in the million forms I have for uni, try to get back to the doctors and selling to things to raise some cash.<\/p>\n Thankfully some money raised by my Internet sales has transferred into my account which means I have some money for my sister and I to take my parents for a meal as their birthday presents (both are within a week of each other and my mum was away for hers) and also cover some of the upcoming bills for next month.<\/p>\n Sorry if this is a little dull, but it’s just an attempt to document what I’m doing to see whether I really am busy and doing a lot of stuff or just thinking I’m busy and not really doing anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lots of things.
