Summer, Among Other Things

May 3, 2008 @ 01:16:38

And so it begins. I'm home for the summer, and mostly caught up on sleep, if not caught up on anything else - I think I slep about 20 hours today. Now I get to unpack all my hastily packed things, clean everything, and get some consulting work done. I'll probably be releasing Psyched 0.1.3 within a week or so, as well.

Radio License!

A few days ago the paperwork finally went through at the FCC - I'm now a licensed HAM, callsign KB1QLE. I don't have a radio yet, but I'm on the lookout for one - preferably a dual band portable, but I might make do with a single band that scans.

MQP

I've recently signed on with an MQP advisor, Craig Wills. For those no familiar with the MQP, it's a project drawing heavily on one's major that WPI undergraduates must complete to graduate.

We're still thinking about what exactly my project will be; several ideas have been put out there but there is nothing definite yet. I'm probably going to be doing my project alone, as I've heard plenty of horror stories about MQP partners being incompetent, not being motivated, or just plain not doing any serious work.

Scraps of Life

April 27, 2008 @ 15:36:59

Today, I need to do a few things. I woke up relatively early for a Sunday, at 9AM. Feeling the monetary pinch of needing to feed myself, I did a couple hours of consulting work before breakfast - strangely, even though I was working, I felt like I was putting off my schoolwork. I'm not sure how it happened, but I am actually on top of things. It might have something to do with the ridiculous amount of work I did last week.

Back to my original point. I have to do some things today. Amont them are:

Get

Some blank tshirts
Poppy seeds
Deoderant
Lemons
Toothpaste

Update IQP presentation for tomorrow's meeting
Same with the report
Do databases homework (due tomorrow at 9)
Create a framework for multiple lexical scopes for my Compilers class
Bake

It's all pretty managable. I guess junior year is almost done, then. I'll be taking a few weeks before starting my full time job at Mercury to do some consulting work from home, spending time with family, and probably doing not a little bit of open source work on my personal projects. I have a few interesting ideas that I haven't started on yet.

Shell Meme

April 11, 2008 @ 00:02:18

I found an interesting meme at stopped clock.
My desktop:

$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
  119   cd
   43   rvid
   40   l
   21   ssh
   15   rm
   15   mplayer
   13   sudo
   12   wget
   12   ls
    9   eog

And my server:

$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
   74   svn
   69   l
   57   pwt
   57   cd
   44   vim
   35   ./publish
   27   s
   20   screen
   12   rm
   12   cat

Interesting, eh?
