10/08/2001	how i've been feeling lately Desert Places by Robert Frost Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast In a field I looked into going past, And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a few weeds and stubble showing last. The woods around it have it -- it is theirs. All animals are smothered in their lairs. I am too absent-spirited to count; The loneliness includes me unawares. And lonely as it is that loneliness Will be more lonely ere it will be less -- A blanker whiteness of benighted snow With no expression, nothing to express. They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars -- on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.

08/22/2001	much more legible weight graph well, this is silly. i never noticed that gnuplot can output a png directly, so i don't have to do the postscript-to-png kludge i've been doing. the graph on my weight page is now soooo much clearer.

new in july 2001
07/31/2001	gah! well, i'm living in the new place and liking it. i liked working on the yard for two days, until this happened: "several people have been asking what happened to me, so i typed up this form letter (sorry for the rubber stamp nature of it): my new house has been sitting empty since december, so the yard needs a lot of work done. the friday before last had beautiful weather, so i took advantage of it to get out and make some progress. the next morning, i put in a couple more hours until someone called and invited me down to artscape. i'm highly allergic to poison ivy, so i'm paranoid about it and watch out for it all the time. i spotted a poison ivy plant in the front yard, and gave it a wide berth, so friday went ok. there's a fence out back that i want to tear down. one side of it is covered with vines, so on saturday morning, i started pulling them off it. there must have been a surprise hiding in there that i didn't see, because i woke up at 3:00 sunday morning, itching. for the first couple of days, it was all on the place where a man doesn't ever, ever want to get poison ivy. i'll leave that to your imagination. as the days went on, the rash started popping up all over the place -- legs, arms, chest, face... all over. the worst part was that blisters formed between the fingers of both hands. for the first few days, i tried typing, but had to accept that moving my fingers was causing the blisters to pop open, and making it take even longer to heal, so i switched to catching up on reading and doing things that just involved pointing and clicking. i'm still remarkably miserable and wake up itching 3-4 times a night, so don't expect a whole lot out of me, but i wanted to let it be known that i'm able to communicate again. :)" i'm all better now, with just a few scars, and i've been busily trying to catch up on work.
07/10/2001	mmmmmmmm... spent most of yesterday at my new place. so blissfully quiet. :) the phone service won't be turned on until thursday, though, so i have to head back into carradioland to get bandwidth. :(
07/06/2001	carcassi study 4 notes done finished the notes. just need to do dynamics, etc. now.
07/05/2001	back! i'm back. but gah! i'm exhausted. off to bed. talk to you later.
new in june 2001
06/25/2001	sesshin i have to be at doug's place at 7:15 tomorrow morning to leave for dbz, so i'm going to sign off for now and do the few chores i have left. i'll be back on july 5th; see you then. p.s.: bought the house today! :)

06/19/2001	carcassi study 2 notes done finished the notes. just need to do dynamics, etc. now.
06/18/2001	more on carcassi study 2 a long time ago, i planned to: learn the 25 carcassi studies, op. 60. make lilypond files of them all, so there would be a free copy of them available on the internet. so, i was doing the work slowly, using the second job to help with the first -- i would only enter the notes into the computer from memory, to test my memorization, then double-check them against the original. practicing the guitar is no longer part of my life, so i should just moove on with the second part of the plan. i worked on study #2 a bit today.
06/16/2001	more palmos apps i added launcher iii and whatzup, a couple of palmos apps i've started using. i've actually started putting appointments in my visor. frightening. i wish yahoo!'s palm sync system weren't useless. :(
06/14/2001	house house house house house house house contracts, home inspection, mortgage interview, homeowners insurance, job gap letter, termite inspection, bank statements... a week and a half until settlement!
06/08/2001	still around yeah, i'm still here. i had my wisdom teeth extracted tuesday (with only local anesthetic, so i got to lay there and listen to crack crack crack snap crack as they were yanked out of my head), and spent much of the week in a drug-induced stupor. how do people get addicted to vicodin? it just made me go to sleep. i guess if you really like sleeping... anyway, i did at least put up the photos from the umbc lug resurrection meeting.

05/20/2001	tired of checks i'm tired of dealing with checks. it takes me forever to get around to driving them to the bank, so i've made a link to my paypal account so people can send payments to me over the web. if you owe me money for some reason, please use this.
05/16/2001	mozart k545 yay! someone added it to mutopia, so i've deleted my unfinished version from my site.
05/09/2001	house hunting i put up some photos from my recent unsuccessful bit of house hunting (see my rambling from a couple of weeks ago).
05/08/2001	gah i got up at 4:00am yesterday and drove to roblimo's house on the first leg of a trip to boston for another osdn site directors meeting. was there all day, then flew back and got home at 11:00pm. i don't know how/why people do this sort of thing on a regular basis. i've been standing at the laptop all day trying to catch up and feeling a bit unplugged.
05/01/2001	pdf versions of the scores some time ago, i looked into generating pdf versions of my scores, and wasn't happy with the results; the pdf version wasn't nearly as sharp as the postscript version, at least on the screen. i tried again, today, and it looks much better! more importantly still, i printed a pdf of a score, and it looked great, so i'm now including pdf files in the scores section. if you have a pdf viewer set up as a plugin, you'll be happy to find that you can view the scores right in your browser.
