Thesis and First iMpressions
This semester is all about writing. My professor wants to get two papers out this fall. Luckily, however, these papers will be chapters 2 and 3 of my thesis. Huzzah.
I got a Macbook Pro last week (from an undisclosed source), so now I fit in with the other grad students. The adjustment to OS X has been relatively painless (coming from Ubuntu). My first inclination was to ditch OS X completely and load Linux, but I’ve been persuaded by the Apple Demons (evil and benine) to give Mac a chance. I’ve had to do a lot of customization to get the terminal anywhere near the functionality of gnome-terminal. In fact, I ditched the default terminal for a project call iTerm. Indeed, I will miss gnome-terminal.
The multi touch is incredible. The hardware is incredible.
I’ve quit my crappy job (see Access Nightmares), and taken an awesome job (see How Happy). This is going to be a busy few months. Here we go.
