emerge deep inspiration
February 11th, 2004 | Published in General
I find it quite frustrating when a really cool idea pops into my head right and I suddenly get a burst of motivation to go do something with that idea only to be thwarted by a series of class in progress. It happened this morning. Again. About ten minutes into TC210 (Theory of Rhetoric). I started thinking about complex adaptive systems (CAS) and immediately want to go try something. Only I have classes stacked at 9 AM, 10 AM, 12 PM, 1 PM, and 2 PM three days per week and the hour break in the middle isn’t really enough time to do anything except get some lunch and *think* about reading email. By the time classes are done at 3 PM, whatever inspiration I had is long gone.
And in completely unrelated news, I learned something new about Gentoo’s emerge tool today. Instead of doing “emerge –pretend …” and then running the same thing again without the “–pretend”, it’s more efficient to do “emerge –ask …” because dependencies don’t have to be recalculated!
