The Sky’s Falling!

It seems like someone is out to get me. I just had a Chem 4B midterm on Wednesday, and this week I have a midterm Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I think I’ll be getting very little sleep this week…

I’ve been wearing my headphones a lot these days. After discovering freshlymixed and hybridized.org (thanks nonforma), I’ve renewed my interest in Radio 1’s Essential Mixes. I highly recommend downloading DJ Touche’s mix…it rocks!

With all this music, I’m feeling the need for a decent mp3 player. The iPods are certainly nice (especially the 40 GB one), but I would prefer a player with native Linux support. Furthermore, I’d like one integrated with something else I’d need, like a PDA or cellphone. I guess I’ll have to wait until stuff from Japan gets brought over…

Talking about Linux, I’ve scrapped Crossover Office in favor of VMWare Workstation. In my emulated Windows XP environment I’m able to run Matlab and MS Office 2003, among other things. It’s a little slow, and I definitely need more RAM (anybody want to donate a Crucial 1GB SO-DIMM to me?), but with Con Kolivas’s auto-regulating swap patch, my Linux handles the load suprisingly well.

Oh yeah, ssh X-Forwarding really rocks. I think I’ll be setting up a Linux shell server sometime next year…

Darn, I’m hungry. I think West Coast Pizza is going to make some money off me tonight.
