The Mike Haddad Show: This is relevant to my interests.

Google Maps are a lot of fun. I know that allowing people to have the link to these entries takes away from the surprise, but it's a pain in the ass to have to import comments from Livejournal, and we all know how much I love comments. Typing them out one by one isn't going to be any fun at all. I wish I had an easy way to do it.

I've spent six hours today studying linear algebra. I honestly didn't get a lot accomplished. I'm not in an uppity mood today. Tomorrow should be better. I'll do my four hours of CS, collapse, and go to bed. That way I'll be able to wake up early tomorrow, be in a good mood, and actually get work done.

Today, I did something ridiculously out of the ordinary and got a new Opera Skin. For anyone who knows my quirks well, this will shock you. It takes me years to change skins for something. I still have the same Winamp skin that I've been using since I got winamp. This is the first time I've ever changed my Opera skin since I started using Opera. It helped keep me sane while I was doing lin alg.

I've been doing a lot of that. Things to keep me 'sane', instead of working. It makes sense to do them, but it's taking time away from studying. On top of that, some of them didn't exactly keep me sane. For example, there was a problem reverting back to MT. On top of the regular pain in the ass of redoing the templates, and importing the entries, my webserver switched the regular PHP permission requirement from 777 to 755. Eugene had suggested that I might have to reset the server. For a while I was afraid I would have to. I told killerfish, melishrelish, and joshu_wa that they needed to back up everything on their subdomains in case the server went down. Luckily it didn't.

Using MT has already cut back on my regular LJ checking. Maybe this means that I'll check the sites of people who don't use LJs (Eugene, Laurence, etc.). It should be a good thing. I just need to remember to get that plugin to auto link jazz for me. Poor Eugene. His brain takes so much from my asplosions.
