stupid busywork
February 27, 2002 by Eric Richardson
So for today I have to write a "rough plan" for my next paper. Not a rough draft, a "rough plan." Basically, I have to write the most nebulus outline you can imagine, and turn it in. Woo hoo. Do they really expect me to think about a paper before I write it?
Joseph Arthur - In the Sun
February 25, 2002 by Eric Richardson
I actually heard of Joseph Arthur because I have a copy of Howie Day covering In the Sun. However, after getting around to checking him out and listening to a set he did on Morning Becomes Eclectic, I decided he needed a post here. Hopefully I'll get to see him sometime if he ever gets back from his European tour.
playing right now
February 25, 2002 by Eric Richardson
I've put another little dynamic element on the front page. Continuing this music theme, this one is "playing right now". It's just a little glimpse of what I'm playing at the moment. Eventually I'll write a little more of an interface to this and you'll be able to see a bigger view. Also, for a while expect to see some cryptic names like dispatch2001-12-15d2t02.shn until I can get artists and titles into the db.
on the joys of pdfs
February 25, 2002 by Eric Richardson
A lot of my professors feel the need to assume that everyone in the world has Word and distribute files accordingly. I really don't like that. That's why when I get a professor who puts up a document in a nice clean PDF file, I really appreciate it. I use PDFs all the time. I output all my papers into them, and then have no problem printing them elsewhere. Why can't everyone understand that there are more platforms in the world than just Microsoft? We have cross-platform document standards, people, use them.
getting back in the game
February 18, 2002 by Eric Richardson
I devoted a good chunk of yesterday to getting myself back into feeling like I'm on the cutting edge. A large part of that was getting devel code for Enlightenment 0.17 installed and configured. I've put up a screenshot in the linux section. Once a few more things get ironed out, I'll be ready to move to that for day to day use.
I also finally got Aleph One compiled and working. Early on at Gospelcom we used to play Marathon every night. I've always liked it better than any of the games that came after (Quake, etc).
