but first!
the events for today...
i woke around 7.15am, not surprisingly, for lecture at 8.30... woke jason up too! he wanted to go gym. so we mull around for some time before heading off to campus. the first part she went thru some slides, yada yada... then she started mentioning about the next milestone. and before we knew it, everyone was busy scribbling down points from her powerpoint slides. obviously we were short of time(2hrs nia) and she gained momentum as she reached the end of the slides. we could barely catch up with the slides liao. a lot of ppl pek chek plus give up haha... including this irritating guy beside me, one seat away. he was practically fidgetting about, poking at the chair to his left, right, and front. shake shake leg, check his phone... the works. i was so distracted by this china fella.
so that was that and i headed to meet jason in one of the labs we have lesson in. we needed to catch up on some of the assignment stuff, which until just _now_ we weren't able to work from home.
and then we had a meeting with the other 3 guys. to remind u, they're a guy from thailand, one from canton, china and another from serbia. it lasted about an hour. an amazingly we had the meeting despite the supervisor calling in sick(her son sick; not her)... and we talked. well jason was doing most of the talking. i suppose they aren't too familiar with the web technologies we'll be implementing so they didn't have much to comment about. just questions about the simple functionalities of this and that. and they didn't really do their homework. disappointedly.
the meeting ended and these 2 poor guys went back to the lab to continue our work. gosh we worked until 4.30pm!!! tt was supposedly when they'll be coming to run maintenance on the PCs. so we left.
we reached home famished. jason started cooking meatballs. and i followed on with the rice. and in the midst of cooking i was trying to figure out the work at hand. eh credit would partially go to jason for helping me out with it lah... hehe... dinner for today(this is kinda our only meal today for some weird reason):
- rice,
- meatballs,
- beef stirfry with veg.(yes jason is on a warpath with veg)
and i've been here ever since. ah yes... what i was struggling with? it's not really the assignment. that i was kinda settled. left some tweaking as soon as i got the frigging server up! i'm so please with myself now... jason somehow came across documentation [WARNING: techie details] online that mentioned Oracle 10g did not include the Apache web server in the package as per Oracle 9i did. so he passed me a link to download the stuff from. it took over an hour to download, and ages to install. Oracle setup stages have been known to take very long given they take up loads of memory. after setting up the extension for web server, i had to click around and around and around and around to tweak and test in order for me to run it properly. i had wanted to setup the DAD - Database Access Director, so i can run PL/SQL Pages aka PSP on my Oracle database over the web browser. it's something like jsp, php, cfm... only it's by oracle and it's stored in the database.
[ALRIGHT END OF TECHIE DETAILS] so finally i had everything setup nicely, i can finally run my scripts and format plus display everything nicely on the web browser. yes i'm happy. at least i can heave a sigh of relief for the deadline on monday! just needs printing out and consolidating my work and i'm done! and then there's the thursday deadline... =_=
*i'm sure my gorilla everyday feeling high*
