Update from the land of Linux >.> or something

[kirideth]

GNOME is my friend. GNOME means I can log in properly. Random people messing with my login settings caused me much grief. But it's all better now. Except for the part where I have two accounts and people are upset because one of them does not uphold the account naming conventions. Jealousy is indeed a terrible thing.

I'm staring at the memory allocation trace... knowing that it really is moving, because I said so. Even though it feels like it isn't. It's just being slow because I have it running a self-check diagnostic every time it calls my allocation function (for debugging purposes). This is an expensive check, in that it runs through all the little memory blocks twice and all the fragmented free blocks as many times as there are total blocks. And the trace I'm on is trying to break my program by fragmenting it into tiny 8-byte blocks of memory alternating between free and allocated space. Fucking trace.

Now that I've sufficiently confused most people, I think I'll be giving up on it for now, and maybe sleep.

Now that I've removed the diagnostic, it ran much, much faster. >.< bitch.

Flavor of the week is: SEGMENTATION FAULT!

But Linux is supposed to be magical!

I was able to decypher Phil wasta's lawyer-speak, and I understand physics and math speak, but you have won this day, I am afraid to say.
