Pete's Log: 232 fun, oit non-fun
Entry #436, (Coding, Hacking, & CS stuff)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
Fun fun fun. Today I hacked atlantis.cc a bit, adding some extern "C" wrappers for some of the functions so that it doesn't generate warnings with CC. The warnings were scaring the sophomores.
Grading today took too long. And there's still some issues. Need to talk to Ramzi tomorrow.
Need to begin the process of the whole kernel forth interpreter. Two main issues I need to think about: how to load the forth code into the interpreter, and how to make it do streaming stuff. I'm not sure how well forth actually lends itself to that. But either way, I'll write a simple forth interpreter for the kernel first, and even if those ideas don't go anywhere, I can still put that up on a webpage somewhere just as a cool hack.
The OIT is seriously having a bad day. ns.nd.edu was down a long time. dagger.nd.edu is apparently hosed and won't be up until at least tomorrow. now the good news is that i forward all my mail to wizard, so i can still check my mail. the bad news is that mail that gets sent to prijks@nd.edu can't get forwarded because, well, dagger is down. But anything sent to prijks@cse.nd.edu, prijks@*.helios.nd.edu, prijks@esgeroth.org and other such addresses is fine. So I've changed my pine setup so that my "From: " line says prijks@cse.nd.edu instead of prijks@nd.edu. Now I'm going to update webpages and such and replace prijks@nd.edu with prijks@cse.nd.edu. Just out of principle... I want less dependence on the OIT. So if any of you log subscribers have a pine alias for me or something, I ask that you change my address to prijks@cse.nd.edu ...
