Going to see X-Men

Woo, going to see X-Men

Statistics test

Well, here I am, heading out to go bend over for my statistics exam.

Ok, that was NOT pretty.

Update: I did much better than expected. I got basically a B.

Learning XUL

I think it's time for me to start learning XUL.

Weird dream

I had a dream in which Condoleeza Rice was speaking Esperanto, and I was in someone else's body (who was not fat or chubby, but much heftier than I was... it was weird to have fat to worry about).

God I hate my life

sigh

Take a look at my shitty education

This was my fucking 5th and last assignment for my "programming languages" shitty ass course at NJIT. Can you tell I'm pissed?

Oh, and basically all the code you see there was cut and pasted from the example that he gave us. No thinking involved. Pathetic.

If you're wondering what this is meant to teach us (I still am), it was supposedly part of our lesson on inheritance. Argh!

Generating Word documents with WordML

This is great news. Via Tim Bray, via Don Box, it turns out Oleg Tkachenko has been able to generate Word documents with WordML.

This is great news to me, first of all because it's good to have an open word-processing format that interoperates fully with Word. Assuming that the interoperability is real, as this would seem to indicate, although this is a very simple example.

But the second and main reason I'm excited about this is the following. One of my long term goals is to never have to write a document in a word processor ever again. I mostly hate the things. I want to be able to type plain StructuredText and transform that to whatever output format I want, whether it's HTML, LaTeX, DocBook, RTF, PDF, or Word. I figured I'd be able to interoperate with Word by writing VBScripts that would use Word's object model, but now I won't have to anymore Smiley

Not that my ST parser is close to finished, but that's the goal anyway.

Happy Birthday Mom
