Well I finished the download/install of Xcode, and started the youtube tutorial. I’m going to have to find another tutorial, because the one I linked to is done entirely in Microsoft visual studio 6.0, which is only going to cause me agony to try and translate the instructions to the program I’m using. At the moment I’m a little overwhelmed by all the options simply to start a project. I’m going to have to read more, before I feel comfortable with what I’m doing.
I know the information is out there though, so It’s just a matter of time to find it.
I’ve decided I want to learn C++. It’s a sort of challenge that popped up between my boyfriend and me. We were talking about how a new job opportunity would require him to learn C++. I was curious what tools were out there to help one learn this language with out paying for them. To my surprise I found a very good rudimentary video on youtube.
Thus the challenge came about. I bet him I could learn C++ faster than him. I have no idea if he’ll find this motivating or not, but now I’m curious and want to do it for myself more than anything. I’m hoping the video will be relavent help for me as I’m using a mac and the person in the video is using windows. If not there are plenty of resources out there. For me getting started is going to be hardest part. Setting up one’s environment is daunting for a total n00b.
The first thing I need is a compiler. I’m currently downloading one from mac called Xcode I hope it’s the right thing, because it’s taking a while to finish downloading.
UPDATE: The download finished, and now I’m installing. I really hope this was the program I needed.
Ugh, I don’t need vzquota (I’m sure some do, but I don’t). I’m sure there is an easier way to do this, but at the moment I’m stuck with:
vzquota off 101
Recently I blogged about bringing my pfSense firewall along, and while it was first a bit of a pain to use, its working really well now.
I’m still hoping to use one of the older, slower WRAP boards, but I keep running into issues with the pfSense CF card. I’m not sure if its caused by an incompatibility with pfSense and the WRAP, or I’m just getting bad luck with my CF cards. Hmmm. I might need to switch to m0n0wall at some point if the problems persist.
Today I was thinking of setting up a VOIP phone, but I am not able to setup a switch for the phone to be a part of the VPN - yet!
