    Why don't you pop over to CSI? I'm here now, and in this lab there are 20-30 free machines, If you want a socket just unplug one of them, it's what I end up doing.

    i can't believe that people in the library - and this is the postgrad section of the library so people have degrees - have so much trouble operating a door release switch. i really can't.

    Actually in CS now, with peasant computer science friends, not conducive to study though:o

    I know that feeling... I'm in the 4th year lab now, I've got my notes open and I'm trying to do my Unix practical... but so much stuff is distracting!

    True, the fact that quake is on the machines is definitely a distraction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Oh hells yes. Who's bat****-crazy idea was it to feed Quake to CS students? It's one guaranteed way to do no work if on a college computer... (also why I haven't installed any games on my laptop!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Which machines is Quake on?! :eek:

    My moan for the day: I finished at like 2.30 and I've been on the computer since I got home, doing no work :( Have to get started on my philosophy essay... which is due on Friday... boo-urns... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I know it's in the 2nd and 3rd year lab machines, through Linux. I don't know if it's on the 1st year lab ones.

    my only gripe currently is

    BEGIN;
    DROP FROM threads WHERE text LIKE %LECTURER%;
    COMMIT;

    You forgot the not.

    [edit] nevermind, I got it wrong and read it as %LIKE LECTURER%

    Gmail working fine for me. Server errors pop up from time to time. It will resolve itself later.

    I can't believe this - I have an exam at 2pm on May 20th. Munster are playing in their third Heineken Cup final in seven years at 3pm that day, I'm going to miss the entire f***ing thing. This is one of the worst things ever :mad: :mad:

    It's just come back literally in the past couple of minutes but since its server is always ****ed in the ass every 10 minutes I wouldn't be counting my chickens.

    1) my new cleansing wipes have made my face smell like car air freshner. Eww.

    2) I've had 5 Capri Sun Tropical's in the past forty minutes, I think I have a problem.

    3) I still have only 800 words of my 2,000 word essay that's due tomorrow.

    I have a cramp in my knee.

    My spring break problem has come back and I may have to spend my study time from next week at home. So much for passing, eh?
