Buckets of fun, buckets of fun… more information about prime numbers!

I bought a new deck of cards last night. There’s nothing quite like a fresh deck of Bicycle’s.

We did get our hot water up and running again the other day, but somehow in the process of installing the new tank, they removed a fuse that controlled the fridge/freezer and or shorted the fridge out. We managed to get our freezer working again, but the fridge doesn’t want to listen to us. It just sits there in the dark letting perishable items perish. We have a few things crammed into the little bar fridge in the corner.

I was already in to the paper today and think I have an article in for this week. There’s the possibility of me going in again later if they need help, but it probably won’t be necessary.

Use this tool to calculate big numbers relating to your birthday or any other day (ie. 10000th day).

Roger Ebert is the man. It’s an article talking about dvd commentary tracks and how anyone should be able to do them. It’s kind of funny because Dave and I spent time over the holidays working on something very similar, albeit a touch on the shorter side.

Next week is going to be fun. I have an assingment or a test in four of my five classes.

At this point I’m slightly irritable, we haven’t had hot water in a number of days. It was lukewarm for a couple of days, so we called our landlord. One of his minions came over and looked at it. Sure enough, it was broken and leaking so he turned it off. So, yesterday and today we have had zero warm water; it’s bone cold. I want a shower.

Well, I finally decided to do something about my links page. I realized awhile ago that I had accidently included an html index as well as the php one, so the html was getting displayed. Now it looks nice, well compared to the default crap anyway.

Once again I have fallen off updating. Actually I’ve been spending time away from the computer, well that and when I am sitting here I’ve been trying to be more productive. I had an assignment due today in my Information Structures class. It involved familiarizing ourselves with tree structures and serialized i/o. We had to implement a basic family tree program and do some complexity problems out of the textbook. It’s the first time in awhile that I’ve handed in a Java assignment and actually felt relatively confident.

I’ve been looking into getting some sort of gallery script for the photo section, rather than having to do it by hand. Ryan pointed me towards a built in photoshop function for webgalleries (under automate) that is good for creating a quick and dirty gallery that you don’t really care as much about. If anyone knows any decent php scripts or something of the like that don’t require sql please drop me a line.

“There’s a weasel chomping on my privates.” Can Dave Barry be anymore the man? The article is great, even thought he trashes Canadians. The jab against us is well founded; I’m almost embarrased by the stupidity of the highest rated Canadian joke. His articles is based on the survey that I mentioned awhile ago.

At some point during our travels last night, we happened upon a lonely bacon box in the middle of someone’s front lawn.

Mathematicians developed a formula to fight crime. I how there is really no explanation at all. I’ll have to remind myself to request some research money from the government so I can develop an arbitrary equation for the local authorities.

Having written a few lines, I finally realize that I am complaining about a poorly explained mathematical equation. It’s pretty easy to geek out.

Sometime around midnight a couple days ago, a brilliant idea popped into my head. I’m looking at the partitions on my harddrive and think, “Hey, I don’t need that little partition at the start of my drive for a swap file any more, so I’ll just merge it with one of the other two. Should I back up? Nah, it’ll be fine, I’ve done it before.” The repartitioning did go wrong, so I had to spend a couple hours trying to get back into my system drive so I could back up my email and whatnot. Everything worked out in the end; I didn’t lose anything important and I have a nice fresh windows installation to work with.

I had a productive afternoon yesterday. I finished off an assignment, did some vacuuming, organized my notes and a few other things too. All I have to do is figure out how to keep up that pace.

I think this is at least the second time I’ve been linked to from within a dragonball z message board. I don’t understand.

And I’ve been meaning to get at the site for a couple days but keep managing to put it off. Gah.
