Crontab Configuration
Dec 22nd
Crontab is automated. Don’t bother configuring /etc/cron.hourly etc…. Just configure a crontab line and it will propogate to the /etc subdirectories accordingly.
Crontab lines are configured with:
sudo crontab -e
There are five starts in front. The first is minutes the second is hours. Third fourth and fith are for days of the week, day of the month and month of the year. I usually only bother with the first two to get various scripts to run daily. If you set a crontab to 00 02 * * * it will run every day at 2 am. Note that it is military time.
Sleep – How Much and How Tired
Nov 18th
I’m am tired every morning. When my alarm goes off at 6:45 AM, 5 days a week, I hit the snooze at least 4-5 times. I don’t get out of bed until 7:15 AM – 7:25 AM. Then I wash, then I talk with my father for about 15 minutes. Then I get dressed and I’m out the door every day at 8 AM. I end up sitting down at work at 8:45 AM and I pull up my blogs, and websites to see how things are going. I contemplate what I can blog about, and sometimes I bang out a quick post.
At night when I get done with work, I leave at 6 PM and get home by 6:45 PM. I am paid for 8 hours of work, but with the hour lunch break, the time I need to wake up and get dressed in the morning, and transportation time my day transalated to about 12 hours. I am tired when I get home from work, but my friend always wants to play some XBox 360 or something. I also like to sit down at my computer to attempt to do something productive for myself. I cannot fall asleep if I wanted to; I find myself tired, but I will not fall asleep. I en up passing out/falling asleep by 10:30 – 11:30. This translated to approximately ~7-8 hours of sleep a night. Clearly my physiology requires more. Why? I don’t know. I am tired. On Thursday, my day off, I end up sleeping 14 hours or so. I’ll wake up at 10 AM after going to sleep at midnight, and then I’ll go back to sleep at 12 or 1 in the afternoon till about 3 or 4. I guess sleep is cumulative? Am I catching up or something? I don’t know. It really feels good to sleep on my days off!
