Yes, Blu-rays is another thing. :) But it is true that there is not so much time to listen to music consciously.

Yes, that is a drag. There should be thirty hour days, six extra hours for music and "grilling. I listen in the car when I go to work and back home. Gives me circa one hour every day. At work we have access to youtube, so we can play, if not listen actively, depending a bit of what we are doing. :)

I gave away all my LPs in 1997 and gave away my CDs a few years later. I listened to music all the time when I was younger, and almost never now. On the rare occasions I want some music, mp3s or streams are fine.

To change the subject, yesterday my main machine suddenly stopped working and would not restart. I thought I had some kind of major hardware failure until I realized that the power was out all over the neighborhood. Everything came back about an hour later.

^ no UPS for you then. I thought about having it. quite like having an excuse to lay off work for an hour. I can just about use the work phone to get 4G and finish a few things.

I still pretty much only listen to stuff I listened to, as Pids said, when younger. the CDs are of stuff I haven't found but enjoyed they will be ripped and stored. I do make the occasional CD for the car though, which is nice to make as a mix CD for various family members

just had a blissfully quiet oncall - so my term is back to urxvt (FUCK xcfe4-terminal, which was really good) and I can now copy-paste without the newlines going all fucky. (it would copy the spaces as spaces so a block of text would be one line, which was shit for config copies or logging anything) also finagled my proxy SSH session to do the proxy (so I can have a internal IP to get to our internally Firewalled services) and THEN release the shell so I have a local and remote shell, which I prefer.
Getting a bit bored with gnome3 tbh nothing wrong with it, might try to find some decent tabbed tiling extension, except i3wm does that with aplomb so whats the point, gnome 3 has a good lockscreen, which is a pathetic excuse. I essentially turned gnome3 into a bad i3 clone with keybindings (which only go to explict WS no back and forth, which is brilliant for me)

back to i3 for me, had to tweak a lot of stuff though. it's all running wonderfully though. mem is roughly the same *chrome* but idle load seems to be better even though the fan in this X1 is always on.

Here is one for the romantics out there. While leaning out my system and kernel I caught this in my ttys, take look at that date.

^ :D

I started out of curiosity, mainly interested in the differences between a dynamic-type language such as Clojure and a static-type one as Haskell.

Then, once I grasped the syntax which at first was scaring me away, I fell in love. I am still studying Haskell in my spare time and using Clojure in the office, but I guess the first one is more likely to be the language I'd love to work with for the rest of my life.

Types have been growing on me. When we wrote the JDBC driver for OrientDB in Clojure, more often than not I wished I could model it with types instead of Clojure maps.

^ interesting, totally over my head on the level of language, but interesting human-wise.

^ well it took me years to realize that haskell monad is just some sort of callback. Says a lot about my level of intelligence, or in the other hand, Manu's miles better one.

^ Thanks, but it's actually quite hard for me too :)

Especially because there is a lot of Mathematics I have to keep up with if I want to go as far as I wish. Although I was very good with numbers in high-school, the extent of my ignorance of Mathematics is huge.
