Mkava's Ramblings

So tomorrow is college again. Classes started last Monday and I only had to swap one class for the same class but with a new professor and time (Saturdays… bleh!). Either way, should be a good semester and hopefully I have plenty of time get some stuff during the semester, unlike the last 4 or 5. Like on Friday night and tonight, I wrote and finished a bash script that parses and logs (into a MySQL table) sensor information related to temperature of my CPU, system, and my fan speed. Which I think is awesome as it works and is setup to run as a cronjob for every */30 * * * * *. =] It was fun doing some shell programming again, after not doing much So hopefully once I have some data, I can start graphing the information into something neat and possibly useful.

Besides that, spent Saturday at my girlfriend’s parents for her dad’s birthday (he’s only 45.. my mom turns 55 later this year with my dad not too far behind..) and got back at nearly 2am. Was a ton of fun heading out there to see them and pester their kittens/cats. And today my girlfriend and I biked around the city the bit. Went to Pancheros for an awesome burrito, and then to a couple movies afterwards (Airbender /sucks/ and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is pretty awesome throughout [nice visuals, good PoP feel, good stunts, good story surprisingly]). So all in all, fun weekend and… NO TAEKWONDO THIS WEEK!! WOOOOOO! =D

Anywho, back to the grindstone in the morning. Whee..

Moved today. Hopefully by now, I am all moved in and on my way back to my parents to return my dad’s truck. Also, I hopefully didn’t get wet when moving.. except for jumping in the pool.

So yay for new apartment.

And.

Scheduled posts.

Got a new apartment. Signed the lease and gave the deposit today. Free to move in any time, free until end of month. New place has a pool too.
Moving in a few days, due to free. More to come once moved and have Midco for Internet.
We (D, S, and myself) can get TV service later. Internet means Netflix and IRC. Thus.. keep our sanity. Anywho, more to come.. once things unfold.

Still on the search for a (new) place to live. I halfway hide the word new for the reason that I might be halfway-forced into finding an apartment with the same management company for the upcoming year, and they’re nicer apartments are where I am now. Not exactly what I want to do, but I can make it work if I must.

Had to post this after seeing it on Slashdot on this article: Open Source Music Fingerprinter Gets Patent Nastygram.
