UGH!!!!! School-Servers

Day 15:

-> McNair Scholars program began
-> Installed 2/3 of a School-Server
-> Raked in dough in lemonade-stand
-> TIL Big, established college networks don't like new networks being created within them.

Day 16:

-> Couldn't connect to the school-server I had installed
-> Felt quite productively lost
-> RocPy was a healthy and thriving programming-friendly experience
-> TIL Programmers have monthly meetings to discuss their programming projects, but they separate by coding language

Day 17:

-> Threebean introduced me to someone working on RIT's network
-> Went through all XOs to gather their MAC addresses to put on a whitelist
-> "The Boat", i.e. the server that housed Qalthos' school-server attempts, this website, and our chat-bot can and did go down
-> TIL Command line binary files and scripts are saved in /bin/ and /sbin/, respectively

Day 18:

-> Tried to run xs-setup-network even though I was 90% sure it wouldn't work
-->> It didn't
-->> It did do a good job disappointing me
-> I ran this: "grep -inr xs-setup * | less"
-> I acquired the locations of the scripts and source code command behind xs-setup commands
-> TIL Not every command or install script has a man page

Day 19:

-> Was worried about failure
-> I set myself upon a tedious path that might result in too much information
-> I lack the proof to show my responsibilities
-> TIL about a free meme generator site written in HTML 5 that outdoes quickmeme!
