I wrote some scripts to reorganize the index for the book our research group is nigh upon finishing (as in, it is about to go to print). I spent the afternoon revising the literature review. This will continue for several days, along with the other revision that is ongoing. I declared it to be “Finishing Season” not . . . → Read More: Day 1, Finishing Season That’s it. I’m tired of it. This week, something gets done. I think I’ll just crush through what remains, and see if I can’t get a complete draft by the end of the week. It might be too much to ask, but I’ve got to try something to kick my own ass into being done. To do: Finish revision of . . . → Read More: Geoff calls it “Finishing Season” I can tell that too many things are causing stress in my life when I lose the ability . . . → Read More: Stress One thing I really like about the x86 architecture is the availability of so many cool virtualization technologies.

How does one archive email? Sending everything to Gmail isn’t really an option; they might pack up shop any day of the week. Sticking with one client isn’t an option, because most of them are awful. I mean, I don’t want to save things with Thunderbird, or Pine, or MH, or Apple’s Mail.app, or any other tool . . . → Read More: Archiving Email I have a second Gmail account that I’ve never really used.
