This week I installed Linux on a empty partition on my hard drive, so far I’m loving it. Linux seems really cool and great for developers. It took me about 15 minutes to download Linux mint 16. Then I used a Linux live creation tool to make a , wait for it, live usb. ๐ yay ๐ Anyway I then finished listening to a ytcracker song and shut-down the computer. I then inserted the usb into the computer and turned on the computer. I proceeded to wait for the live version of Linux to start up. When it started up a beautiful intuitive desktop appeared and I immediately made my first attempt to install Linux beside windows. There was a problem with my Linux partition and so I opened up g parted and formatted the partition. I then installed Linux and restarted my computer. I was very glad to see the option menuย come up. Now I am writing this hahahahaha.
My team and I had a discussion on irc about what were going to do. We talked about the things we need to do and the things we have done. We are waiting to get our assignment from the proffesor. But we decided that the day we get our assignment we are going to have another irc meeting to put everyone on track. I think the main thing is to give everyone in the team there job and keep in touch to make sure the job gets done. I’m really excited to work on this team for many reasons but one of them is because it seems like the other members are more experienced than I, and it will be cool to see how they work. I am really really excited to get moving on this project. ๐
U used github for the first time this week. We basically just created an account, made a file and then sent a pull request to becka, But I think it showed how powerful a tool it is. It seems like a really nice tool for people who are working on projects that are open to having many people;e contribute.
A speaker came this week also, That was really cool. He talked about what its like getting a job and what he looks for in a resume and interview. He also told us about a coding thing that happens on the second wednesday of every month and I think Im going to go.
