silent_rock's Journal: blah

got pissed at matlab, played basketball, had jamba juice, finished Mishima biography, made oatmeal cookies with white chocolate chips, mango bars, german chocolate cake, 2 kinds of potato salad, deviled eggs, ate those and stuffed mushrooms, hamburger, chicken apple sausage, bratwurst, homemade heath bar crunch ice cream, homemade pickles, baked ravioli, brownies, tortellini, chicken wings (two kinds), strawberries, grapes, calabrese, broccoli, crossed strike lines on campus, used a magnetometer, swam, had anxiety dreams, did laundry, maybe did a bit of work.

This is from a Nature article on Wall Street and environmental stuff:
In a company statement, ExxonMobil said it believes that "the scientific evidence on greenhouse-gas emissions remains inconclusive and that studies must continue -- while tangible actions are taken to address potential impacts".

Okay, now, can we just pretend that I never had anything to do with them?

Matlab

[js7a]

I want to hear all about your struggles with Matlab. I might be able to help. I've got (certifiably?) mad Matlab, R, Tcl, C, and Maple science skills. I was 'leet back in something like '84. I've built an entire cepstral vocodec in Matlab for a cellphone startup that got bought out by the CIA.

Bring it on!

Jeez louise. Um. I said I got mad at matlab but I should've just gotten mad at myself. My .m is about 20 lines long with one for-loop, one input file, and one subplot call. Even as I type this I can feel your condescending eyes. I'm so not worthy. I got pissed because I copied the file and ran it a bunch of times before I caught a typo. Fixed it, copied it, ran it, then found another. I should find employment that involves manual labor only... Sorry to disappoint. Will try to write something really_cool.m a

Hang in there and you will discover the great mathematical rock mysteries in no time.

Let me know your .m frustrations anytime.

Your JEs are much more fun to read than you probably think.
