By Nick | Published: 27.05.2010
I passed Calculus, finally. I also passed Physics, where oddly, on all three tests I received exactly an 80. I would say that I got an 80 on the final, except that it was extremely easy. In the meantime I’ve been doing a little work around the house and on the car, and I’ve also [...]

A Simple Backup Script for Linux

By Nick | Published: 07.09.2009
Not too long ago I upgraded a hard drive in my home server. I went from a 250 GB media storage drive to a 1000 GB one. The main drive is another 250 GB disk. I decided that since I didn’t have any kind of backup system in place, I could assign those duties to [...]
