======UNIX/Linux Fundamentals Journal======
====January 21, 2016====

The guy next to me, one of the Danny's I think he went by, showed me the IRC channel. Suffice to say: It was EXTREMELY distracting. Although now I think I have all the content of the class covered, nonetheless it was there to distract. Lesson learned: Don't keep eyes glued to the IRC.
The "Unix for the Beginning Mage" book (from what i've read) is quite interesting. Helpful to show the ropes of the Unix / Linux shell. DEFINETLY will be helpful for me in the future with the Linux CLI.

Got the mage book read, I kinda knew a good chunk of it to begin with seeing as I had prior experience in Linux, the two were a lot alike. The arc0 project was pretty darn obnoxious, and the tar archiver gave me the same unhelpful error over and over again until I went to google and looked up what the correct syntax was. Hopefully pbx0 will go more smoothly than the last one. Probably knowing these commands will help to diagnose the flood of issues Linux distributions still have, and maybe with all of this knowledge I can contribute something useful to the community.

Welp yeah, its been like 3 months since i've bothered to touch this. Writing for me is an absolute horror and its literally depressing to have to do it. I've learned a bunch since I last did it, but, I apparently cannot do what I thought I could. I suppose its the teaching approach thats killed me but basically since the HTML project I just straight up could not keep up / do the stuff, its really actually kinda depressing. I probably should have just dropped while i had the chance...

Writing still is not fun. I got the urev thing MOSTLY done at this point, not looking forward to the next project. The syntax of a bash script to me is kinda backwards and very confusing. I feel strongly towards the position that I should not have to type anything more than a closing brace to define the end of an if statement. Probably at that rate I will write a bunch of C programs to do the heavy lifting and have bash just organize the output. I THINK that fits the guideline of "the entire thing can't be written in C". In addition, the math required for this project will most likely be too much for my stupid brain to handle.
