Started This Work Term
So I started work almost 3 weeks ago now. The first day was boring. Really, really boring. It was basically lectures and a bit of paperwork end to end. And the lectures were not relevant to the work I was doing at all. Imagine you’re at any company, any company at all, and you have network guys who actually only deal with one other company (which is owned by your company) that is unrelated to all the work they do.

mount -t iso9660 -o loop $x temp/;
cp -r temp/* .;
umount temp/;
done;
Which did the job but was horribly messing on doing it more than once with tons of errors and stuff.
When I came home I decided to make it much better. I even included how long it takes to do the whole process, which was harder than the process itself.
