This past weekend has been very fun and exciting. On Saturday Yalu and I went to the Galleria and then to the Boston Commons and Public Gardens. We relaxed under the hot sun and enjoyed the summer that the northeast can take from us without a moments notice.

Today was laundry day. I also like to air out my room when I’m around so when I went down to move my laundry around I left the door open instead of unlocking it. Doh! The wind closed the door while I was downstairs. My only solution was to walk to Yalu’s. I didn’t have a phone, wallet, or shoes. My only clothing was a swimsuit and a T-shirt. The walk was good, but it being barefoot it eventually burned my feet. I now have what amounts to second degree burns all over them.

In other news, I’ve left OS X. OS X was good at first, but my experiment with OS X has reached as far as it needs. 3 weeks is enough for anyone to realize that it’s just not ready. Maybe the next version of OS X, but Ubuntu is much, much more refined than OS X IMHO. I just installed Jaunty and it’s amazing.

Things are going well. I think I got a perfect score in my last test again. Is it offending when you hand in an hour test in 20 minutes? I usually spend a lot of time bored in my chair to make it seem like the test took longer than it actually did… on Tuesday I felt a bit restive though.

Not much to say, other than a friend showed me the awesome package that is MLPY and that the world is developing. (I find the last link hilarious.)

Man, I haven’t been keeping this blog up like I should have. I think that will change though. In addition to writing long essays about my views on things, I’ll also put in some random entries about what I’m doing today. This is one of those entries.

Today is going to be fun. Since the CPW weather machine is in full blast, this weekend is extremely beautiful weather-wise (which is a rarity in Boston). To seize this opportunity, Yalu and I are going to walk and hike around in Franklin Park.

On the math side of things, a friend of mine has been sending me problems of the day. They are about the level of ARML, but perhaps a few are easier and a few are harder. They are really fun and I’ll post some of the problems and solutions to the ones that I really like.
