I just realized my watch is a Fossil. In brand name, and in antiquity. It's dead. /cry
Today has been a freakishly good day. I was recently approved by the XO to go to a school for the Linux Operating system. For those of you who don't know, Linux is a well-known spinoff of the original OS (Operating System) of Unix. Unix is a command based language. It's pretty much you, the user, telling your computer to directly do something. Picture this:
/h/NTCSS_RSUP/bin/syb/utils
If you notice, it looks a lot like a file path in a windows system. Unix/Linux system users use this sort of "code" as a way to manipulate files and commands. It's actually pretty interesting, but it's paaaaainstakingly lengthy to type anything in. The reason why these OS's are so popular is that they are pretty much bulletproof and require almost no computer memory to operate. So it's pretty much a low-budget, but direct, way to communicate with large servers. You can manipulate user's profiles, and change the way the entire system is run, with one simple command. There's just too many commands to memorize!!! :-/
So, with that being said, I will hopefully be going to this school. I just put in a request form, and i should have my answer by monday. In addition, I'm going to a fiber-optics school on monday. I'm gonna be there at 430 to ensure my place there!
That's pretty much it for my update. I'll be back tomorrow morning, but I'll be going up on a crane and messing with some antennas, so I'll probably be off by around 4 or so...
See ya'll tomorrow!
