[17:19] Hi Keirn!

[01:25] Hi Khash!

2018-04-07

[21:33] Test.

2017-09-02

[05:28] Pogo - Do Something Rhythmic.

2017-09-01

[17:04] An mp3 renaming command that I want to take note of: for file in *.mp3 ; do mv -- "$file" "${file:0:2}. ${file:3}"; done. Details on the parameter expansions here.

2017-04-01

[15:02] I haven't forgotten about you, little Linux box alone on the internet.

2017-02-07

[20:59] Using an umbrella is strictly more annoying than getting rained on.

2017-02-01

[23:04] Hello Ashleigh!
[19:07] Etymological discovery of the day: The word druthers -- as in "If I had my druthers..." -- comes from a contraction of "would rather". Always wondered where that came from...

2017-01-31

[19:16] A quote from Reddit that I enjoyed a lot: "Oldness is a state of mind, not a number. (Until it's also a number)"

2017-01-30

[13:19] "When I'm sad, I make baseball bats."

2017-01-29

[19:09] An article to remember: Doomsday prep for the super-rich.

2017-01-15

[22:10] "Your organization is terrible."
[03:48] Went to The Red Light last night. I'll never understand why otherwise pleasant bars blast music so loudly you can't hear yourself think, or why people still go to those bars.

2017-01-11

[01:53] I recently returned from a few days in Louisville, KY. Great barbecue, but couldn't find good coffee. I love long drives.

2017-01-04

[08:17] On the bright side, that 2814 album from which I linked a song a little while ago just keeps getting better.
[08:15] It took me ages to write my lecture notes this evening. Very frustrating.

2017-01-02

[03:15] This Chrome Sparks release is beautiful. I first heard it in a bar.
[03:06] Swept the ST:DS9 round at pub trivia this evening.

2016-12-30

[20:27] Whoever it is that collected all of these is my hero. I've always dreamt of owning the whole Man's Ruin discography.

2016-12-29

[03:49] Rogue One was pretty good.

2016-12-27

[14:47] Christmas time TV marathons are a hell of a drug.

2016-12-25

[00:46] Merry Christmas, ~verse.

2016-12-24

[03:44] Just spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why something wasn't working, only to discover it was because of a stupid typo that had been copied around.

2016-12-23

[21:54] Another song, with the video showcasing their amazing bass player Paz.
[21:52] I've been obsessed with The Entrance Band lately.
[05:18] Here's one for LaTeX users. I'm sure there's a plugin or something that does all of this better, but I'm pleased with this. Start on top of a word that defines an environment, like "enumerate" or "theorem".
:normal ciW\begin{<C-O>p}<C-M>\end{<C-O>p}<Esc>O<Tab><Esc>

2016-12-22

[20:46] Vim discovery of the day. nnoremap n nzzzv and nnoremap N Nzzzv
[06:39] I'm writing this (and posting this) from my phone. Is this retro or futuristic?

2016-12-18

[03:15] Someone is blasting Destiny's Child's 'Survivor' from their car outside my window right now. An odd late-night choice.

2016-12-16

[18:35] l i s t e n
[18:34] CSS is annoyingly finicky.

2016-12-15

[17:01] Also, in trying to make the previous post look correct, I learned that you have to use < and > in the HTML code. Now think about how you get those to show up...
[16:49] Been learning some Vim things today. Most notable discovery is this: :nnoremap <leader>ev :vsplit $MYVIMRC <cr>
[03:51] Getting back into the Grateful Dead lately. Don't know what kept me away so long.

2016-12-13

[22:18] Tinkered with CSS of this page. Now it has very small margins when being viewed on a smaller screen. Are there web-wide standards for this sort of thing? I should look into that.
[21:32] Figured out how to use xanaxbetter to automate the process of uploading torrents. A tremendously useful tool, once I figured out how to install it.
