Essay 1.2
Since the Intel 4004 microprocessor was released in 1971 the computer industry has seen exponential progress. Open-source software, however, is a relatively new idea. It has its roots in the Request for Comments project, but it wasn’t until the late ‘90s that we saw tremendous advances in open source development (“Open source”). In The Cathedral and the Bazaar Eric Raymond writes about his...

Work Order System
I started work on the latest version of a web app idea I have for a work order system. Basically it could be used by IT network teams to manage all computers on a network and keep track of any maintenance that needs to be done. We used FileMaker Pro at the nursing school but a web app would be more versatile because you wouldn’t need the FileMaker Pro app to get at the database.

Annoyances
geeezdar:
:Putting laundry away. I hate doing laundry period. It takes up too much time and energy. And then you have to fold. And a lot of stuff doesn’t like to be folded. Fitted sheets? I hate you.
True that. I’ve been putting off laundry for over a month. I’m out of socks now. :/
porn stars on twitter. awesome.
There’s not alot of cars on campus. Looks like summertime. Hmmm.
Prolly going in 6th street tonight. Drink drank drunk.
I’m at work. Waiting on this press release so I can put the new issue online and go home.
Also, we’re launching a new book blog in April. It should be pretty sweet.

Just found out it’s the same day as my brother’s wedding. That really bums me out. Goddammit.
March 14 at Stubbs. They’re shooting an ep of Scam School beforehand as well. Should be pretty tight.
Just uploaded my first video to Vimeo. It should be showing up around here any time soon. *Fingers Crossed*
I’m a little tired but not really ready for bed. AND netflix.com is down. I guess they’re making upgrades but I’ve got movies to watch dammit.
Leaving now. Tequila doesn’t mix well with whiskey

Skittles Vodka Tutorial →
Infusing vodka with Skittles is a very popular trend right now. There are a couple of different ways to do it. My way involves separating all the Skittles into their separate flavors and making five different bottles of Skittles vodka.
Van Buren
Tomorrow marks one year to the day since my good friend, Corey “Van Buren” Bishop, fell from a roof and died.
He was a fellow Longhorn Hellraiser, he loved writing code for some reason and he was a great friend.
He’s probably in heaven right now. Hammered at a Lynyrd Skynyrd show.
We’re meeting at the Hellraiser brick at the alumni center tonight at midnight for a...

Progress
Did some cool stuff with this page today. Now I’m up way too late. I have to go in to work for a little bit in the morning to go over some proofs. Boo. AND I have to write some stuff for English. I’m slacking in there. Time to pick up the pace.
I feel: Meh

Who will believe my verse in time to come, If it were filled with your most high deserts? Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb, Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts: If I could write the beauty of your eyes, And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, ‘This poet lies; Such heavenly touches ne’er touched earthly faces.’ So...

Open-Source Development
Debugging computer software can be a royal pain in the ass. The section “How Many Eyeballs Tame Complexity” of The Cathedral and the Bazaar really hits the nail on the head. Having a source code aware tester can be very beneficial to the programmer because he/she will be able to tell you what when wrong, where and a couple of possible reasons why. If the tester doesn’t know...

Scared of the Dark
The opening to a The Wind and a Boy really captures what it’s like to be a little boy. The second paragraph says “They were kings whom no one ruled. They wandered where they willed from dawn to dusk and only condescended to come home at dusk because they were afraid of the horrible things in the dark that might pounce on them (69).” It’s funny to me that little boys act...
