An Infinity To Nudge You Along

I’d term today as lackadaisical. I made progress on neither the Sheep Blog nor Hope For Wildlife. Perhaps this is a rationalization, but I conclude my second day of rest is because they are both at a stable point. Heh. I titter at myself. A few items to add to the Sheep Blog: Multiple user functionality Signup for new users Comments Topics The final one is the easiest to initially implement. The others are all tied together with the idea ...

Guapo thunders in my ears and I am inevitably taken back to spring 2005 and the concert Michal, Patricia and I attended at Klub 007 in Strahov. I must say it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. ...

Thinking about Salience, I’ve been concentrating on lack of specific focus when it comes to aural stimuli. Therefore the focus drifts from sound to sound in a spacious sphere enclosing me. In the car on the return trip from the grocery just a bit earlier, instead of blocking out the faint flapping of air scooting through the driver’s side cracked window, or the crumbling crush of my father’s cigarette being extinguished, I let the minute sounds usher themselves into my ...

I enjoy bitching about the despotism that was always a part of my ex-friend Christian and began manifesting itself more and more in his personality throughout the years. It was repressed for quite a long time whilst he was with his bane and obsession, Karolina, and spewed forth geyser-like when he popped free of that relationship. In Cloud Atlas, there is a discussion of a hermetic environment. I believe that is what Christian, in his despotism, is attempting to create. ...

Wikipedia states that the Authority Bias is the tendency to value an ambiguous stimulus (e.g., an art performance) according to the opinion of someone who is seen as an authority on the topic. I am strongly affected in a negative manner when people around me exhibit this bias, whether it is towards me or towards others. I find it ignorant and at times sycophantic. One good example follows Wikipedia’s description. Many people I have known trust a musician’s opinion of ...

…and how I was told time and time again back in the old days that I should always listen to every one’s opinion about each piece and change it accordingly to please as many as possible (of my friends, of course, who were pretty much the only ones listening, anyway). I never should have listened to this and certainly do not now. I am happy that Tony and I do not interfere with each others’ compositional process. We seem to ...

Hello, Irritating Day! I am irritated at you. You are, as some say, an irritant. So, yesterday evening, if I failed to mention it in yesterday’s writing, which, if I recall, had very little or nothing to do with what I actually did during the day, I signed up for the hosting service ‘Bluehost’ because those using their service have SSH access. Well, this excited me. I want to host all my Sinatra apps somewhere (besides Fucksheep, which I haven’t ...

This evening I am going to revisit the thoughts I scribbled down, usually quickly, in my first pocketmod last week. The first thing I wrote has to do with a currently ‘on pause’ project, that being the novel I began in November. On November first, in fact. I was inspired by another writing site. Actually, it was the site which recommended this very site on which I am writing now. This is it! I got a little past 25 000 ...

I am incredibly fucking frustrated concerting Project Euler #254. I am befuddled. Flummoxed. And overall - irritated. The problem is an irritant. I posted some things about it in the Sheep Blog earlier and have since learned that none of that matters at all. Of course, this will be soon merged with the Sheep Blog, so the last sentence is half superfluous. But, anyway, creating a list of every number which has digits which add up to i was big ...

I am proceeding with my attempt at Project Euler Problem #254. It revolves around reversing functions. g(i) is basically the reverse of sf(n). What I am doing is taking an Integer (i) and returning every number k with the following property: If one adds up the digits in k, one comes up with i. Here is my code so far (see if you can spot the obvious error before I continue!): (Project Euler Problem...) listToInteger :: [Integer] -> Integer listToInteger ...
