UNIX update

So UNIX and I went to some classes a few weeks ago, we used GNOME and everything seemed to work fairly well. We hung around at tea time together, chatted about what we would do at the weekend; we were getting on and all seemed well.

I took UNIX back to work and we decided to show off some of our new skills. Horror! Horror! I royally loused up. Who would have thought that omitting a simple -m would lead to a literal hour editing an error file in Word to try and extract the bib numbers.

I suppose the moral of the story could be a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, perhaps, or maybe, pride comes before a fall. I don't think there is a moral, I should just be more careful with my code and revealing my weaknesses to UNIX over tea.

The saga continues.

Training notes- good progress

It is unreasonable to get this excited about producing a series of training guides, but it is the first time I've done anything like this in a while, so humour me. Ange + project = Rottweiler + chop. I've written the text to almost all of them and one, CLSCP, is now complete with screen shots.

Realistically this is all part of a general drive to expand my skill set. I'm going to present some research skills seminars for the new intake in October, including one of my own devising on search engine techniques. Throughout the whole Ange vs. UNIX debacle, I began to doubt my computing abilities, but when it comes to the internet, to search engines: I'm even learning javascript. We are much better friends now, by the way, me and UNIX; a few weeks back I piped something where I shouldn't. Panic? Me? I sorted it.
