I really have to stop staying up this late, it negatively impacts my ability to cope with classes, etc.
Similarly, I need to stop being lazy, and get OpenOffice, and get the full install of octave-forge (probably from CVS) so I can waste my time "doing homework" in the privacy of my own room.
And our country's 228th birthday is coming up. Weird time for a mid-life crisis, I suppose. (Or are we settling into senility?)
