Canada July 1st to 4th

I’ll be in Montreal, Canada visiting relatives from July 1st to 4th.

For real this time

If the image above didn’t hint at it, I’m actually going to learn Java this time around (versus the four other times). I’m following along with Java Intro Programming (with Passion!) Boot Camp thing (run by Sang Shin) since I probably wouldn’t have the concentration to do it by myself (that is, without something to follow along and homework). I started late (at the end of the second week) but I’m caught up now, hopefully it will all go well.

On a similar note, my workstation is a bit slow (an Ultra 10 is quite a dog now) to run NetBeans, anyone know where I can get a cheap workstation?

It’s the start of summer break and I don’t really have anything planned besides working (for Rutgers as a Student Programmer). One interesting thing I’ve been doing is to actually bring the hand full of systems that have been laying in my room back to life. Since the end of finals, I’ve install IRIX on an Indy, VMS on a VAXstation 3100 m38 (yeah, the one I got on eBay a long time ago), and trying to boot a NCD X Terminal. I’ve basically done everything at least twice since I want to get a feel of the installer and to correct mistakes (like not knowing how DEC’s licensing works). I’ll post something later detailing everything I’ve done.
