i has interwoes.

Wow, the interwebs sure are hosed for me this evening.

I've been home sick hosting an evolved flu, so I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and got Eclipse and Android SDK and then tried to pull down the Android source. The net was treating me like yesterdays news and the command repo sync kept dying. I restarted it a few brazillion times and the finally put it in a while loop:

#!/bin/bash
repo sync
while [ $? != 0 ]; do
repo sync
done

($? is the return value of the last command and 0 is a success).

Then I let that run until it completed in about 2 hours - restarting repo sync too often to count. Sheesh. Flakey.

This didn't happen at work. I can't even surf the www right now. Ugh. I should call the DSL provider....but since I spent all day downloading the source files, I need to study them.
