more prep, difficulties with vmware

Just finished cleaning my office, and now I’m back to preparing a dev environment. Turns out Ubuntu 8.04 doesn’t play well with VMWare. I think I will probably be able to get by for a month with 7.10 before getting my Macbook. After this install of 7.10 finishes I’ll have to get the tpserver-cpp up and compiling again. At least the repositories will have everything like they should; even though 8.04 is released, it just doesn’t feel ready without everything apt-get’able.

As for this coming week, I’m expecting to dive into documentation; Specifically, tpserver-cpp documentation, and llnz’s older ruleset documentation. I’ve never really “pored though” any documentation before, and I think I should talk to xdotx about that (xdotx == my mentor, btw.) I will then move on to going over existing rulesets, whose better than xdotx’s from last year! However it turns out, I’ll keep you posted!
