Another day another dollar?

Got to uni today and had to setup the access grid for some people here at the uni. That went ok, no real worries. Straight after that had to take a tute. The tute is slowly getting less and less students in it but i guess that can be expected getting near the end of the term and all.

Got a call form a dude to go and have a look at some ‘vb / vb script’ which wasnt working. Sooooo i head over the other side of town and find out that the app is actually written in QBasic for DOS, and of course there is no source code. As soon as i saw that i knew there wasnt much i could do. Anyway, the dude was trying to run an old DOS app under windows XP. Now in theory XP should handle that ok using its fancy schmancy compatibility mode thingo… in reality however we all know its a different story and really changeing the compatibility settings did dick all…. great… so this thing would run and jsut present a blank screen. it didnt help either that another XP machine accross on another desk ran it fine. Gotta love XP.. In the end i put it down to a weird laptop video card problem. *shrugs*

oh!.. the dude there had a 17inch Acer laptop… big and ugly are two words that come to mind. Nothing like the 17inch powerbook. *sigh*

After that me and melanie went food shopping. That was cool. gots the foods and left. I got nice buns and peanut butter!

Got back to uni around 4 and have been readoing stuff for the lecture tomorrow. Also gotta do up a simple webpage for my sister to show her how it works.

Did a quikc search for jobs, sadness again. There are lots of jhobs under the IT section, but unfortunately im not qualitfied for most of them. Keep looking i guess….. and find part time work in the mean time to pay rent… bleh bleh
