Leonardo Boiko’s Diary

So we have two aspects to this guy; intellectual acuteness and not taking things seriously. The not taking things seriously goes with finding it all pretty easy and a bit dull. But also it goes with realising that a lot of human activity is really pretty pointless, and when you realise that and internalise it then you become cynical and also a bit sad[...] It’s also the seed of an illness; a melancholia that can deepen in later life into full blown depression.

Another feature about this guy is his low threshold of boredom. He’ll pick up on a task and work frantically at it, accomplishing wonders in a short time and then get bored and drop it before its properly finished. He’ll do nothing but strum his guitar and lie around in bed for several days after.

[...] Now one of the things about Lisp, and I’ve seen it before, is that Lisp is a real magnet for this kind of mind.

The Bipolar Lisp Programmer. More abuse of the B-word, but worth it.

By the way, I think I have like half a dozen half-finished projects already mature enough to be published; some kind of anxiety prevents me from risking human contact. Of course they were done in Lisp whenever I could.

Esses dias o Avi postou sobre OS-tans de Linux; sendo fora do meio, ele não conhecia a brincadeira. Eu estava hoje fuçando a página do Linux Moe Project e me deparei com representações antropomórficas de linguagens de programação. Só tá faltando uma versão bishounen…

Sim, eu fiquei instalando software até de madrugada no meu computador novo e fui parar nesses lugares.

Não, “Avi” não é um formato de vídeo–kun.

#!/bin/bash
file=~/Desktop/zenbell.mp3
interval="30 min"
player=/usr/bin/mplayer

function usage()
{
    echo "Usage: $0 [OPTIONS]
Options:
 -f FILE:     play FILE (default: $file)
 -i INTERVAL: wait this much, in at(1) format (default: $interval)
 -p PLAYER:   use PLAYER (default: $player)"
    exit 1
}

while getopts "f:i:p:h" opt; do
    case $opt in
        f) file="$OPTARG";;
        i) interval="$OPTARG";;
        p) player="$OPTARG";;
        *) usage;;
    esac
done

sleep 100 # time to get away from the computer and sit
("$player" "$file"; "$player" "$file"; "$player" "$file") >&- &
at now + "$interval" <<EOF
"$player" "$file" >&-
EOF

tweet, tweet.
