Trying to get job. Second round interview went well.

Can not wait to be done with these shithouse subjects.

1521 and 3821 are the worst.

Am learning alot though. Maybe that’s what uni is really all about. Forcing me to learn shit I’d really rather not learn.

An American exchanger just asked if the water here was safe to drink. Told her we have elevated levels of dihydrogen monoxide.

I’m a nerd.

The prescription must be that if there’s something you want to do a lot of and get good at—like write, or fix bugs—you should try to do it faster.

That doesn’t mean be sloppy. But it does mean, push yourself to go faster than you think is healthy. That’s because the task will come to cost less in your mind; it’ll have a lower activation energy. So you’ll do it more. And as you do it more (as long as you’re doing it deliberately), you’ll get better. Eventually you’ll be both fast and good.

Trying to get this to deploy tto Netlify automatically…

My fucking tt key doesn’t work.

It’s not that MIPS is hard. It’s just that it’s a pain in the arse.

Successfully purchased unicycle.

Going to buy a unicycle

Should I invest the baxter budget into bitcoin??

Just packed up an outdoor cinema. Lost my phone last night. Been picked up by a UNSW lecturer off the street (what are the chances!) Going to try and coerce myself into getting up early without an alarm by leaving door open.

Listening to Keith Jarrett. This is crazy. It was organised by a 17 year old german concert promoter. The opera house staff found a small grand piano backstage and asssuming it was the Bösendorfer piano that Jarrett requested, placed it onstage. The pedals didn’t work properly. The high’s and lows were shit forcing him to play in the middle register.

Yes I am mildy fucked for this one.

Cram for Neur test is not working. Test in 51 minutes. I am yet to complete first lecture. I might have to wing this.

I think I might be beinng a little too hype.

Just made a pretty cool bashscript to make a log post from anywhere on my machine:

#! /bin/bash

currentpath=$(pwd)
ramblingpath="/Users/tomhill/Developer/Sideprojects/rambling/rambling"
today=`date +%Y-%m-%d--%H:%M`
filepath="post/$today.md"

cd $ramblingpath
hugo new $filepath && vim "content/$filepath"

cd $currentpath
echo "Done"

gonna start scripting more shit in my everyday life.

Idea: connect a camera up to the pi, have profiles for every person that enters the room. Play specific sitcom music soundtrack for each profile.

George Sherwood is quite cleanly. I am currently sitting in his room enjoying a VB. Very pleasant ending to an otherwise shit day.

I want to start peppering “Holy dooley” into my everyday vocabulary.

Fucked up the live site today. Was up to 2am trying to fix. Did not fix. One might even call it a suboptimal situation. Really fucking frustrating. Ended up being some stupid package was not listed in package.json. Fun times.

Just called bingo for IRC. Might have been an idea to look at how bingo is actually called beforehand. Or know the rules. Oh well.

Went to CBH last night. Yolanda be cool was playing. The people who do this song:

Got quite drunk. Wasn’t planning on doing that.

Professed my love to nearly 40 people via the internet, namely: UNSW Love Letters, my public facebook page, facebook calling 2 people from high school and at least 35 people on snapchat.

Should really stop taking my phone with me to places.

I was also thinking I could create some kind of application that would create a virtual network and cache all outgoing requests from the phone for which I could review the next morning. But then I may as well not take the phone. But then I don’t have google maps. And then I’m lost, drunk and alone in Sydney. Quite a predicament.

I’ve been told by Nanki (fresher) that I called some girl Diablo for the entire night and almost concussed Tom Shorty with his car door.

So all in all productive evening.

Spent entire afternoon making an LED blink from a raspberry pi.

Exciting stuff.

Quite content with my life right now.

Fuck me this is annoying. Connecting a raspberry pi to UNSW Uniwide is an absolute pain in the ass.

This guy has given a tutorial and everything but I still can’t get it to fucking work. https://wanlixue.github.io/blog/2019/01/31/raspberrypi3-connect-uniwide

I’ve given up and am just using an ethernet port. :(

My balc mate, Lily, quite often (by which I mean close to 90% of the time) prepends any sentence she utters with the godawful phrase:

Can I just say

I’ve started picking up the habit. I disagree with everything about it. The issue is now that while I’m even thinking about the next sentence I’m going to say - it’s always “Can I just say”

Are we really just markov chains? Am I exposed to Lily so much that I use “Can I just” as my root phrase, for every phrase?!

Scary thoughts.
