This morning I arrived at school, got my stuff and went to the classroom only to find out I was an hour early, fortunately this gave me some time to talk with the internship coördinator however he wasn’t present. They said he’d arrive at 8:30 but he still wasn’t present at 8:45 so I decided to go to the OLC (Open Learning Center, Huge room with lotsa computers) and catch up on some school work.

At 9:25 I shut down my USB Ubuntu and head to the classroom. After figuring out questions we had to answer through brainstorming around a central subject we went to the OLC again to find stuff about the subject. In this case development in hardware (CPU, graphics cards, storage devicers, etc.).

For CPUs and graphics cards it’s just a bigger, better, faster, stronger kind of thing and that’s about it and with storage devices we have SSDs. After finding the required information I had to resize my casper-rw file (This is where USB Ubuntu stores all changes) because it was full, this took 15 minutes and after that I could boot back into Ubuntu.

Once it was done booting I started looking on the internet how I could run my password manager from within linux (It’s a .NET Framework executable). Fortunately there’s Mono which allows you to run .NET applications on linux, after installing the packages I tried executing the password manager and it worked, so another step into switching to linux.

After this I decided to go look for some oldschool games (Dracula: Reign of Terror, Knights and Merchants, etc.) that would run on the school computers. I installed both of these games through Wine and tried playing them. Dracula works pretty well however Knights and Merchants is being buggy (However that’s probably fixable). Hereafter we went back to class to “Report our findings” and after this I had some more time to toy around with Linux before we had to discuss our portfolio and internship efforts with our mentor.

Then I took the bus home and found a reply from the internship coordinator that he reviewed my qpplication letter and résumé and that he made a few modifications. After this I sent them to the Elementary School that I’m applying to, and I already have a reply for an application meeting/conversation, however the date might need to be changed.

Other then that I gathered all my stuff from all around New Eden and hauled it to my main base of operation, also tweaked some of my market order prices and well that’s about it.
