six more hours
March 08, 2002 by Eric Richardson
Still writing... I'm onto my fifth page now, so I'm actually pretty much on schedule. My goal is to finish writing by 6. Then I have to make a run to the airport. Then I come back here, sleep for two hours, and then bone up on latin declensions until my midterm at 11. After that I turn my paper in, and it's all over. At noon, I sleep. Mmmm... Sleep...
ten more hours

Ten more hours, and all my troubles will be done for a week. Between now and then, though, the rest of a paper and a latin midterm. Things I've come to feel strongly about very recently:
1) I don't like Henry David Thoreau, and I really don't think he's all that smart or a good writer. Perhaps Civil Disobedience and the Plea for Captain John Brown are just bad examples.
2) I have no attention span.
3) I really know far less latin than I should.
Heather Nova - Gloomy Sunday
March 01, 2002 by Eric Richardson
A friend of mine first played a Heather Nova cd for me a couple years ago. I liked it, but had sort of forgotten about her in the time since. The other day I downloaded a bunch of songs, and remembered why I so liked the songs I did. Other good songs, Help Me Be Good to You, Maybe an Angel, and I'm Alive.

If you've looked at my linux section at all, you've probably noticed a lot of the descriptions linking to wallpaper at deviantart. Recently they redid their galleries to use a thumbnail browser, and the site's coolness has gone through the roof. It's now so much easier to look for cool papers than it ever was before.
gsonginfo
February 28, 2002 by Eric Richardson
As part of getting the songs I was listening to up here, this afternoon I wrote a fun little song info editor in GTK-Perl. I called it gsonginfo, and stuck it over at eScripting. Check out the screenshot and then marvel at how the gsonginfo script is only 266 lines (and a good number of those are comments and GPL).
