Hello from Christmas break. Life is good on this side of finals.
Ice cream,
warm night,
internet,
beach.
I don’t miss you much school.
Made it to Florida on Friday, back in Littleton Tuesday (tomorrow!)
I upload a bunch (38 to be precise) of photos on the 9th.
Includes Thanksgiving at the Cabin, and Christmas Tree Cutting.
Check out this post on Mac OS X hints.com: Take iSight snapshots during invalid login attempts.
It is a pretty cool setup, if someone enters the wrong password on your laptop, picture is taken and stored. That’s neat, but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to check the /var/logs/authfail folder so I wrote a quick script that looks to see if there is an item in the folder and displays it in Preview. Add the script to your login items and your all set!
Download the script:Login Attempt picture viewer
To use it, open System Preferences, click on Accounts, choose your accounts and drag drop the script into the login items.
I put together some grade estimators for Diff Eq and Physics II.
For Diff Eq (final tomorrow, Saturday at 8 AM) I need a 0% on the final to get a C. That’s nice, a 50% to get a B, 98% to get an A. I’ll plan on something between 50% and 100%.
For Physics II, I need a 0% to pass the class, 50% to get a C, 100% to get a B. Last night would then mark my last Physics Capa homework assignment ever. (If you haven’t seen rants before, Capa is the most depressing and time sucking entity on earth. Stephen Hawking has called it a black hole in his latest published documents.) Aside: I did a little googling, Andrew, my house mate has 47 results for capa on his site. I have 12.
That’s a stress relieve. I just got to give it my best and I’ll be done.
