Sometimes, the whole car would shake when I'd drop the clutch into gear.

I guess it’s called popping the clutch pedal.

When I drove, I think in my efforts to keep the clutch slipping as little as possible, I was dropping the clutch into gear too fast. The little springs were stressed and many of them were not anchored properly, so one end of a spring might be sticking out haphazardly. When the mechanic took it apart, the old clutch disk, which has dozens of very tough little springs, was a mess. It wasn't slipping, but it started needing a sledge hammer to push the shifter into gear. The clutch needed replaced at 150k, for about $650. I bought it when it was 7 years old with 110,000 miles. FUUUUUCK ME.īut alright, facepalm and takes me a minute to fix my mistake, easy money.2001 Civic EX. What happened? Turns out it said the page file is too small because I WAS ASKING FOR MORE MEMORY THAN THE SYSTEM HAS, VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL COMBINED. This time no errors, but the machine slows to a crawl. Alright computer, manage the size of this yourself. I have plenty of free on-chip memory, why does it need a bigger page file? Ah, whatever, I have it set to 512MB anyway so that's probably too low. So I drop the error between quotes into a search, there's only vague results from obscure sites but I do some reading and narrow down the issue to insufficient memory, more specifically, "the page file is of insufficient size".Īnd so I think mmmh, that's a little sus. WEll, I run it and get a bunch of error codes I've never seen.īut I'm me, right. Now, I decide I want to test trying to have a child spawn another just to see if I'm at a point where I can handle it. Nothing too fancy, just some basic fork and mmap shit to get my feet wet. I'm studying interprocess communication and messing around with shared memory.
