  1. RT @victorcajiao: A real-time re-living of the Apollo XI moon landing: wechoosethemoon.org -- very, very cool!
  2. nb: I'm extracting particular parts of the excel files, and then saving those parts as CSV. no pattern... so it can't be automated. :-(
  3. zzz... have converted 4 of 22 excel files to CSV. this is painfully slow...
  4. back from shopping... now exporting some data from Excel to CSV files... where it belongs!
  5. going shopping... my cat needs food!
  6. RT @i2pi @mikiobraun: LaTeX symbol classifier: http://bit.ly/4Ij9c - draw a symbol freehand and get the LaTeX code back!
  7. hundredpushups: week 1 day 1, complete!
  8. Decided to upgrade my MacBook Pro to a 500GB HDD. Ordered the drive. Installation doesn't look too bad.
  9. being an insomniac. I think I'm "delayed phase"; but I get up quite early. Just can't sleep... :-/
  10. just written a blog post on biologists and their lack of coding skills: http://tinyurl.com/l4vetu
  11. dailybooth.com is a wierd concept... so I joined. the only site where I won't be a border collie! :-)
  12. @fittorrent great DIY work... especially for hand tools. you'd be unstoppable with a benchtop mill and lathe! :-)
  13. listening to #javaposse ... yay @dickwall likes Programming in Scala text. Great chapter on Combinator Parsing helped me a lot yesterday.
  14. time for my regular whinge about the lack of a released JavaFX plugin for NetBeans 6.7; why wasn't 6.5 version just ported as a stop gap?
  15. just used combinator parsing in Scala for the first time... and... OMG... this is truly SWEET stuff!
  16. had a productive day of Scala hacking - maybe I was over-doing the function-currying-as-a-way-to-make-a-new-control-structure technique? :-)
  17. Happy Independence Day USA... 233 and counting.
  18. Twitter: "What are you doing?"; Facebook: "What's on your mind?"; Vorlons: "Who are you?"; Shadows: "What do you want?" :-)
  19. matplotlib is amazing. I wish we could access better numerical / scientific tools from the JVM.
  20. @cameronstewart nice blog link... now that I know the Tenji code I'll pay more attention next time I see them.
