catchup

The hurricanes game I got the last minute box seat tickets for (canes vs capitals) turned out to be a really good game.

Been hanging out at Kulture when I get a chance. You should too.

The hard drive in my mp3 player seems to be dying. It works, but a section around about the “k’s” causes all sorts of read errors in usb drive mode. And if I try to play anything from it, it locks up spinning the harddrive till the battery dies. Neat. I’ve ran a fsck.vfat on it a few times before, but that seemed to only work for a bit. I’d replace the drive in it with a 80gb, but a certain fruit company has cornered the market on the needed drives.

Taxes. Ugh.

Anyone played with ninjam?

Now With Kulture

The opening of Kulture seemed to go pretty well. Good crowd, and nothing major exploded as best I could tell.

Ran into someone I went to high school with, which was a bit strange. Talked to them a bit and found out there are
apparently a few folks from my high school in the area.

I hate revision control systems or source code management systems or whatever you want to call them. New, old, centralized, distributed, whatever. They all suck. They seem to serve no purpose other than to make things more difficult. They like to tease you with the idea that it will save you time and effort. They lie. They like to be just different enough from each other that you can easily issue a command from one on another and it will let you. Perhaps remove a file, or commit a random change, or make a branch for no reason. Maybe all of the above.

They must be destroyed.

Some Processing work

Some tests of using processing.

Processing is sort of a high level graphics language that compiles into java applets.

Note: These links all contain java applets, and have been known to crash a browser or two.

Processing seems nice. It’s very high level, with a C/java style syntax. Theres a simple bare bones IDE included. I like how it calls source files “sketches”. Kind of a nice semantic touch. It’s also open source.
