back in it
Oct. 4th, 2005 07:21 pmCrunch time; I leave for Vancouver tomorrow and must get stuff to Advisor and others today.
have some additional numbers to run (almost done) and revisions to my talk. When they're done, I am going home to pack. I need to be in early tomorrow if possible.
At least I find that I do not hate it. I was dreading getting back into some aspects of this work, but once I get my fingers dirty a little I remember that there are indeed some aspects that I find satisfying. Even in this godforsaken corpus. (jeez, a little lovecraftian note there.)
in other news... did you know that F score can be translated into 2s/(g+p)? I didn't. I worked that out today.

The Dia program. Nice visio-killer.
Killer feature: I can edit with all the widgets and mouse controls, but there's a commandline export function.
dia --log-to-stderr --export-to-format=eps architecture.dia
Thus I can store a single source .dia file in source control, and have an automatic script build my slide/latex diagrams. Automation is my friend.
Previous diagram tools (visio, acrobat illustrator, etc) may offer a few additional bells and whistles, but this one feature alone is a huge win for me.
