Accounting and Beauty
Words spoken by a CS major (and that would never be heard from a business student): William: double entry accounting I just got it and it’s beautiful

I use Twitter a lot, posting daily more status updates than I can count (and I’d rather now know, I’m quite sure it’s too many). I find myself squeezing things into a 140 character text field that would work really well as a blog entry, but it takes too much work, too many steps, to […]
The three stages of bug hunting (via ~stevenf) It can never happen! Strange, it happens… How can it even have worked before? more easily understood as: denial, acceptance, and amazement. Many bugs I’ve encountered and fixed in my young Computer Science days went through these steps. While denial is useful for ego inflationg, I quickly […]
From ArsTechnica: Infinite Loop: Interview: Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster: …Piracy: who cares if someone steals your application if they were never going to buy it in the first place? Cabel spoke briefly about piracy at C4[1]. Panic has long blacklisted pirated serial numbers in updates to Audion, Transmit, and the like. But for the first […]
With 39 credits standing between myself and a diploma in May, I’ve got more than a few courses to take each semester. Taking 21 hours this fall is going to be something I’ve never done before, both with respect to managing that many hours of lectures each week, and handling the large amount of homework […]
Today’s been the third consecutive day of “work” with the Get Connected Team at Tech. Monday and Tuesday consisted of somewhat meaningless training, and today was mostly sitting around, surfing the web or chatting with RAs from a dorm. After a summer of working hard at Protiviti, it feels good to relax a bit. The four […]
Today marked the end of the C4[1] conference in downtown Chicago. The talks given Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday ranged from the hilarious, with Wil Shipley’s talk on hype and product releases, to the surprising, with the announcement of Nu, a Lisp implementation for Obj‑C, to the impressive, with an Iron Coder Live hack for […]
Words cannot express my dismay at the recent Washington Post-ABC News poll results: I had hoped to write a blog post about gas prices and the lack of changes to the nation’s consumption habits. I had mentally penned paragraphs about price inelasticity, “mental accounting”, and other economic and behavioural psychology topics. Bollocks.
So where have I been? The past semester, with rugby, mono, a new job, and a tragedy on campus, has been a busy one. It’s no excuse for the dearth of words here, but it makes me feel better to write down all the major events that took up so much of my time, to […]
(How do you like them mixed metaphors?) South by Southwest (SxSW) just released the 2007 bands torrent, a BitTorrent file with 739 MP3s from some of the artists performing at SxSW. I run into large influxes of music, such as this one, quite often. I also just torrented the 2005 and 2006 SxSW torrents. I’m staring […]
