just a few things
Jul. 18th, 2004 04:51 pm- I almost recorded and posted a version of this very song... I probably will, pretty soon.
- The conflict among my drive-to-record-thoughts and my drive-not-to-bore-or-annoy and my drive-to-communicate in the context of blogging... is very strange. For example, I'm not entirely sure how much I want to write about Friday night, and how there's a particular young lady I'd been eyeing (who works at a particular coffee cart in a particular college of computing), who, confusingly, is either reciprocally interested or not, just in that she invited me to go see Importance of Being Earnest and then proceeded not to show up, but then appologized profusely (over AIM, whilst I wasn't around), but then hasn't spoken with me since. In the aftermath, I got slightly angry, popped home just before the play started with the intention of getting some work done, and ended up hanging out with Yael![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yaello for the evening instead. Can't go wrong there :)
- On Thursday, I outran a golf-cart up the Freshman Hill. While carrying a cooler full of popsicles and a backpack. pwn3d!!
- So I made this thing... and it spits randomized text based on words that you feed it (the Markov chain doohickey mentioned last entry -- source here -- just go gcc *.c then run it with a sample text file as an argument), and I'm terribly pleased and over-proud, and I'm going to make it into a web version so that you guys can all play with it and make nonsensical versions of your favourite web pages. This thing is actually related to class... granted, we're using a bit of creativity to make our webserver project a bit more awesome, but... y'know.
- Also on the geeky front, I rebuilt elrond, now with a very nice Antec case. That was a totally random impulse buy. I have no idea why I did that. I think I said "well, it'll be quieter, and I'll be able to sleep better". Many thanks to Richard for help when particular screws got stripped and I almost destroyed the mobo...
- I should find something productive to do, because Literally Everything is due on Wednesday... and I should get some more caffeine and go play outside or something.
