Moving

Wow, after 2 days of steady work I'm pretty much moved, and mostly unpacked. I still have to set up my computers and go through my desk stuff (papers, cd's, etc), but mostly everything else is done.

Thanks to Alex and Scot for helping me with the furniture.

It's nice to be able to walk to school now. And I like the new kitchen a lot better.

Farewell party for Bassem at Cataract Falls yesterday. Check out the pics.

oh boy.

Just kicked off a Perl script that's going to parse ~100 GB of HTML into a number of different databases (keeping track of both their link and internal structures). When I'm done I'll have a graph of around 200 million nodes that I'll have to run some statistics on.

Wish me luck.

Java poetry

I just happened upon this poem someone at Sun wrote about the 1.5 release of Java, code-named Tiger:

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright

I still remember bits of the poem he based that off of, for some reason.
