Pete's Log: oh yeah

Entry #845, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

So pretty much, I figure that it all boils down to one simple fact... I am not a very emotionally mature individual. But that's ok, I don't really care anymore. I think that for the duration of my stay at ND, I'm gonna just stick with this approach to life. Find happiness in antisocial geekness, and avoid anything that involves emotions other than "this is fun" or "that's fucking cool" or "that's hilarious!"

In other news, I finally cleaned out my inbox. I'm down to about 25 messages. This makes me happy.

George and I have begun hacking freeciv. We've checked out the freeciv source code and are messing around with it. Well, actually, George started messing with ruleset files and I'm compiling the latest cvs version for solaris, but a preliminary look at the source code looks like it'd be a lot of fun to read and mess with ... unfortunately, it seems freeciv only compiles with gcc/gmake. I could possibly try to fix that, but don't feel quite up to that right now... the code also compiles with a good number of warnings. yuck.

Other fun: I've made some mindor aesthetic changes to my journal code. A few changes I've been meaning to make for a while: the front page now shows the latest entry, and I fixed an aesthetic bug on the search page if the results were requested as a long listing... I've a few more things I want to change in the code: I want to add a digest sort of feature to log entry mailing, so that subscribers can choose to receive entries only once a day or once a week or something like that.

And other things to do today: install various software on realloc. ooh... freeciv finally finished compiling. onwards.
