Some people just need a mac. What are they doing with that big old windows laptop?
I go into one of my classes a few minutes late. Someone had brought a power strip with a long cord and plugged it in to one of the only avaiable outlets in the room, and then the cord went up the isle a couple of rows. At first I thought it might be for something important, but as I looked closer, I found that someone was using it simply to plug in their laptop.
Please, people. If your laptop doesn’t have enough battery power to allow you to get by without hauling your power supply (and a power strip!) around with you, then you really don’t have a laptop, just a portable computer. Buy a mac! 5 hours of battery life. No power strip needed!

Rent a locker. It took me too long to figure out that you can rent lockers for just a couple of bucks a semester and it is worth it. Find where you do most of your studying, and get a locker near there. Keep some food, some headphones, maybe some music in your locker. A couple of pens and some paper just incase you show up on campus without any.

I just have a short suggestion for PEAR, the PHP Extension and Application Repository.

PEAR should provide a bunch of interfaces for various things, such as database interfaces, authentication schemes, user managment systems, etc. Read the rest of this entry »
