general update

Recently purchased CDs:

  • 10.000 days, Tool. Thunderous, powerful, and still those strange sounds (and we won’t forget the bon jovi influence).
  • On down the road, Izzy Stradlin’. The complete opposite of the Tool album on the rock side. Just plain ol’ Rock n’ Roll, nuff’ said. I like it, but receiving it at the same time as 10,100 days was the greatest mistake.
  • Yes, Virginia, The Dresden Dolls. I don’t feel it as powerful as their self-titled debut album was. A bit disappointed, but I may have to take a closer listen to it.

I felt a bit surprised by the date of my last post. I hadn’t seen the time pass that fast. A quick look at my (misc) TODO list:

  • The Ruby/RRD DSL I started to think about is still just a sketch, although I also have the skeleton for the graphing part. But still, the RPN part is blocking me. I don’t feel there is a really nice way to express this kind of things, except as plain strings.
  • I was a bit disappointed by the way things worked with Ikiwiki. Ok, it works as advertised (being able to generate a static wiki), but there things that I don’t like and I’m getting sick of seeing Perl code, these days.
  • I have finished The Confusion and started The System of the World. Yay. My goal: finish it in less than a year, for a change.
  • I have received my Guitar Rig and this is really a cool toy (and a time killer).

    I’m curious what you don’t like about ikiwiki (besides the implementation language).
    [I happened to find this page using Google, since I’m tempted to try out ikiwiki.]
