 + 
 +The beginning of November. 
 + 
 +Nearing the last of the semester. 
 + 
 +Spoke to the professor about how one goes about running unix and linux as an administrator and was advised to sudo bash, which has been working quite well.  
 + 
 +I still need to reinstall Debian on my Virtualbox and figure out running such as the administrator. 
 + 
 +====November 8, 2015==== 
 + 
 +I am scouring the interwebs to find a good tutorial on bash scripting to supplement what we've done in class. 
 + 
 +I've found one which implements the date, which may be useful for the upcoming project. 
 + 
 +I also found a great one on Lynda.com, but she wants me to pay. Aint nobody got time for that. 
 + 
 +====November 10, 2015==== 
 + 
 +Worked through a tutorial for bash scripting and created a script which copies a file and 
 +appends the current date and time to the end of the file name. 
 + 
 +My habit of creating numerous backup files while working on projects will be simpler now. 
 + 
 +The script is aptly named backdate, as in backup-date. 
 + 
 +update: 
 + 
 +I was only able to use the script I made within the directory in which it was located. 
 + 
 +To resolve this and make it world usable I tried to create a bin directory, which is what the path is set to. 
 + 
 +I accidentally named the directory .bin and it didn't work, so I renamed it correctly and can now utilise the backdate script for all of my files. 
 + 
 +====November 30, 2015==== 
 + 
 +I have done absolutely nothing over break. 
 + 
 +Well, I haven't done anything productive, that is. 
 + 
 +Actually, "productive" could be a subjective word. 
 + 
 +I didn't do anything scholastically productive. That seems accurate. 
 + 
 +The only thing I accomplished was re-watching seasons 1-4 of The Game of Thrones then finish season five. It was amazing. The only issue I had with season five is that they decided to place "previously on" portions before each episode, which I loath, though not as much as "Next on." Who the hell is watching episode five of season five of an epoch without having seen the previous episodes? It's nonsense.  
 + 
 +Binge watching the series also made me realize that there aren't many Game of Thrones memes, and such pondering is loosely related to The Best Class Ever, so perchance I did manage something scholastic, and should certainly get points for this Opus entry.
