ummm peress li qed nhossni nieqes minn practice fuq systems programming hmmmmm... would poseidon & athena be available for us to work on this summer and next year? ^0^
or else some1 will be scrapping our accounts there after this semester? u le apparti c-cajt... nahseb some of us (including me) wouldn't bother getting my hands dirty again on systems programming when we'll have the chance...
Considering that I have come across folders on athena belonging to friends of mine who graduated back in 2000.... something makes me think that the only way our accounts will ever really vanish from there is if some proxxmu decides to donate a new sparc to the board of i.t., whilst poseidon is a pretty top-notch system, so it will probably be around for eons.
...they might disable your account of course, which is a pity, I'm sure we'll all sourly miss the late nights we spent staring at vi and typing 'ipcs' and 'ps -aA' so often that eventually we made exec automatically at end of our program after cleanup :o)
Yet not to worry... I'm sure Joe will be very happy to give you a full blown unix apt to do next year.. after all, lets face it, if you like real programming, then logically, you must like swearing, be it audibly or not.

u le all in all nahseb it was a good run ta these 3 assignments, obviously would have enjoyed doing them more if we had more time availabe.... i really think systems programming should have more than 4 credits imma nsomma...
hehe insomma happy XMAS guys, enjoy the presents.... & gluck for exams :P

Well, this might be your last systems programming course you might ever do. Who knows what APT will be on offer. In fact this year, there was no sys related APT. As for athena access, I think you will have access to your accounts as long as your university account remains valid. Mine is still the same since the time I was a student !

Ha nghidlek tkissirna pero this is most certainly the coolest subject I've had so far. Making a game server... it's something I always wanted to do. I don't know if we will ever apply such things in our everyday work, but then again, most of the things that interest me hold no future in Malta...
As has already been mentioned, more time (and credits) should be allocated to sysprog. Ideally they should remove the maths, probability and management and give it like 16 credits. :P Apparti c- cajt, it is very evident that many subjects have more, or less, credits than they actually should. Core Computer Science 2 is another very obvious example.
Question: how much more work than the sysprog assignments can an APT involve?
Another question: who decides on the APTs to be offered during a particular year?
Btw... what needs to be done to make a computer accessible via ssh like athena or poseidon?
Hi, as for the relevant importance and load for a specific unit, that is up to the department, the board and the lecturers. As for which is more important, that is up to the board and the department.
In terms of an APT, it would require more work for someone who has not done any systems programming. Remember that if you had to build a game server from scratch again it would take less than a quarter of the time to build again. Systems Programming tends to be more about thinking the approach that coding length. So once you know how to do something in this area, you do it quite quickly the second time. So the APT will just require more careful design and obviously more research. As for who decides which APT gets offered up to the lecturer and the departmental expectations. Also how many students take it in the end has an effect if it gets offered.
To make a computer accessible via ssh, you need an ssh deamon (server). They are available for all OS's for free, even for windows. And if you want it accessible on the net, you need a public IP and an open firewall to port 22.
