There is always something…

There will always be something, that you have to do prior to the things you need to do… I have a paper to write on AAA with FreeRadius and eDirectory for my independent study, and I was planning to do it after I return from Bulgaria. But when I arrived, I realized that I have to start preparing for the ACA meeting in Hawaii ( writing software and posters ). Then there was the meeting, and I said, when I come back from Hawaii, I will start working on that paper… But guess what, during the meeting, our Computer Club server Alien, decided to play dead. So when I came back from Hawaii, I had a failing disk to recover. But things kept getting better, in the process of asking the school for help, it turned out, that there is no Computer Club, according to the SGA. So I was involved into that too. After I thought alien is OK, I spent a weekend installing OS X on my Desktop. Then I got a new laptop ( just couple a days ago ) and I had to move my stuff from the old LT and to install some software and development tools… During that same time, he SGA decided, that they want the hardware of alien back, so yesterday I had to configure a new machine to serve as alien… And there we are now. it’s 24th of August, and I have to install SUSE + eDirectory + FreeRADIUS and see how the 802.11x authentication will work, and finish my paper. On top of all that, Dr. Bernstein requested that we learn latex and bibtex, in order to write some eventual papers for publishing, so I started writing the paper in latex, which results in yet additional delays… Tomorrow arrives the new Bulgarian in Dowling, and I will have to help him register, take placement exams, figure out what is where and how in the school, and he will stay at our place for few days until he finds a place to live… There is always something that shows up…

At least it keeps me alive ( and very tired ). I guess it will be boring if there is nothing to do.
