good fortune

macbook

lots of nice things have happened to me lately.

  • my run-in with the man resulted in me failing the course in question. my department persuaded the professor in question to allow me to write a pen-and-paper make up (which i passed).
  • i am helping to write an algorithms & programming course this summer that will be taken by every 1st year engineer at my university starting in september. hopefully, the course will be well-received and convince more people to go into software engineering.
  • i was sponsored to attend guadec. many thanks to the guadec folks and all of the sponsors that made this possible.
  • i am a student in the google summer of code. i will be working with vincent on replacing libpanel-applet with a new libgnome-applet.
  • i got an offer of co-supervision for grad school from the two best professors in the department.
  • one of my supervisors bought me a new macbook, upgraded quite nicely. i’ve made a page about getting ubuntu running on it:
    ubuntu dapper on the apple macbook. please go to this page. if you have any information that you think i’d like to know, email me!

that is all for now.

  1. Awesome, I’d been looking for a page like this. Could you mention how you dealt with disk issues — whether you got away with non-destructive resizing and kept OS X, what you used to do that, etc? Thanks!

    – C.

  2. You are crazy motherfucker. Just stick to mac os x. Fucking masochist

  3. For the MacBook install of Linux you may want to see if the iSight is supported by the Linux UVC Driver project as a lot of the 1.3Mp cameras seem to be using this protocol now. See http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ for details
