I have a problem.



And my problem is that I am a compulsive tab opener. I have not one, not two, but three chrome windows like this. This one in particular is where all the gear search and the training programmes are. There are two others for research and education respectively, because hell yeah!

Anyway, I think this is becoming a problem because:

annapurna:Submitted claudia$ pdflatex icse2014.tex
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

I think my computer needs a restart - boo hoo hoo - I would love to say how long it's been since it's been up, but I can't because:

annapurna:Submitted claudia$ uptime
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable


GAH!

Clearly I need more coffee

Today is the day when I formally apologise to people that have been listening to my recorded lectures: I do not make any sense and I am sooo sorry! I wonder if this explains why some students fail my courses?!! AAARGH!!!!

Here are some quotes from today's lecture (a student posted them on Fbook):

  • Today I'm going to talk about rainbows
  • We can talk about rainbows in the review lecture
  • Do you know this story? Of course not, I haven't told it to you.
  • (when talking about map reduce): A flock of elephants ... Did I just say a flock of elephants?!
  • Multi-threaded programming is like killing Cerberus: you need to kill all of these three heads (signals/wait, race conditions, deadlock). You need to be like Hercules...." *teeth shine* "you also need to have shiny teeth."
Dear me. Clearly I need more coffee. Clearly, climbing a muerte in yesterday's competition did not help either. zzz. dead.
