 Sonya Barry's BlogJuly 2006 ArchivesSlogging awayPosted by sonyabarry on July 23, 2006 at 10:41 PM | Permalink | Comments (2)It has been forever since I updated this thing. Lots of small non-notable things going on. I've been essentially boss-free for a few weeks now, between the Sun break, vacations (hers and mine), ridiculously long meetings that she had to attend, and Mifos people being on vacation too. So here's the short version. Left to my own devices for a while I procrastinated doing some stuff I really should have finished months ago by doing an overhaul of the Mifos wiki stuff, deciding to try Linux (installing Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop) playing around with Eclipse, and reading some Java books I meant to at some point last year. That counts if I'm working for Sun, right? Sort of? The Linux stuff has been interesting. I took a UNIX class years ago and haven't used it since. Of course with the GUI interface I haven't had to mess with it much anyway, but I'd like to. My short term goal with the Linux machine is to get the stuff on there I need to do a Mifos build - JBOSS, mySQL, blah blah. I got Eclipse installed and working fine. I got Subclipse (the subversion client plug-in) installed and it says it's working, but I can't download anything. Tortoise works fine on my other machine, so I know it's working in general. Just not for me here. (Insert big sigh here.) The other thing that is killing me is that I can't figure out how to get mySQL going. I need to configure it and then start it. The OS says I installed it, but since it didn't give me a wizard I'm going to have to go RTFM. I think that will require coffee in an IV format to get through. (Bigger sigh goes here.) Or maybe just begging and pleading for help will work too. I would like to figure it out for myself though, all sighing aside. | |
