a prospectus? huh?

October 22, 2002 by Eric Richardson

So for tomorrow I need a prospectus for my COMM 395 paper. This would be fine, except I have no idea what I want to write about, and the prospectus needs to have scholarly sources. So right now I'm sitting in the computer lab, browsing journals online. Woo hoo... At least once this is done the paper itself shouldn't be that hard (it's not due until late next month).

favorites: websites

October 20, 2002 by Eric Richardson

I just redid the websites part of my favorites section, and updated it to show the collection of sites I visit regularly. Check it out. It's a little slanted toward USC sports stuff, but you had to expect that...

Joseph Arthur at Largo

October 20, 2002 by Eric Richardson

So Thursday night I went and saw Joseph Arthur at Largo. I sort of expected a quiet show, my only exposure to Joseph being a solo MBE set and the song "In the Sun." That wasn't what this was, but what it was was great. I'm terrible at describing musical styles, but there was a lot more electric guitar than I was expecting. He also did some on the fly sampling and looping (much like what I love about Howie), and did it really well. I totally recomend that anyone who has the chance goes out and sees him.

i hate gtkhtml

October 15, 2002 by Eric Richardson

In order to get gnucash to compile, I need gtkhtml. I think at this point it's fair to say that gtkhtml is the worst library I have EVER tried to compile. First off, the dependancy list is big. It directly requires GAL, libcapplet, and some other obscure gnome libraries. These in turn require other things (pkg-config? what the...) And then, after all the dependencies are figured out, I try to compile it without GConf, which it says is entirely optional. But, no... It's not. When you try and compile --without-gconf, it then just decides that you really want it anyway and the compile bails badly. I would like this package shot. Now. This is just poor.

Joseph Arthur will be playing two LA shows Oct 17 & 19. For those of you that are unfamiliar, refer back to when In the Sun was my song of the moment.
