Happy Halloween!

I kept meaning to update, but I've been busy discovering that grad school is awfully hard. I'd taken grad classes before, but having three at once along with TA-ing 11 hours a week quickly adds up. Next semester doesn't look much better in that regard either since it's all 6000 level project classes, but at least it's just 3 classes. And I'm scheduled to teach a lecture all about serial ports on Wednesday to 90 seniors/juniors. The hecticness just never stops.

There's also a raging Halloween party going on upstairs right now, which I'd be quite tempted to crash if I didn't have 8:30 am class tomorrow morning. At the same time however it's like I'm there since my apartment complex, besides having the worst internet reliability I've ever experienced and charging us for leaving out trash we didn't leave out, also doesn't believe in soundproofing walls at all. Most definitely moving out for next Fall.

Now I can listen to the latest addition to my favourite online radio station, Digitially Imported, which is Sky FM. Combine that with something like StreamRipper and voila, dozens of new mp3's every hour. I've been listening to the 80's station mostly, as obviously the best music ever created is from the 80's. They had to make up for the awfulness that is the 70's.

And in case you're using a laptop with Fedora Core 4 and your built in speaker's aren't working (so basically 0 of the people who are reading this), here is how to fix it.

I also went to the Florida-Georgia game this past weekend. Having a girlfriend who lives in Jacksonville sure makes it convinent to go to a game in Jacksonville.
