MySQL

>Aspire to become a web programmer, find out that I need to learn database structure (among a bunch of other things) and that dicking around in MySQL is a good way of learning it.

>Try to install MySQL from the .dmg.

>Need admin access.

>Don’t have admin access on my school Mac, can’t be fucking bothered to switch to my home Mac.

>Somehow believe that I can bypass the admin password by compiling MySQL from scratch (and it’s far more logical to do, anyway. I mean, I’m trying to learn fucking programming, here)

>Use two days on trying to figure out how to install gzip, in order to decompress the .tar.gz MySQL files.

>Eventually find out that “godfuckingdammit, the only reason I need gzip is that I don’t have The Unarchiver, which is fuck-easy to obtain.”

>Obtain The Unarchiver.

>Decompress .tar.gz files (and find out that I could have done that in Terminal all along; without The Unarchiver/gzip)

>Run the shell commands needed to install MySQL.

>Need admin password.

>Run sudo.

>Still need the admin password.

>I’ll have to use my home Mac anyway, after two days of this bullshit.

I seriously can’t do any programming on this Mac, aside from shit I can run without a dedicated compiler. Ughhhh back to writing HTML and CSS in TextWrangler, then.
