Weights down so that you could move forwards

Uneventful week. All settled into my class schedule this semester. Still waiting to see what I’ll be doing for my directed study with Jim Lynch. Possibly something with swarm intelligence, but I need to do a little more reading first.
Last night me, Alex, and a plethora of Mikes watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Big Lebowski. For those of us playing drinking games, Walter destroyed us once again by uttering “dude” almost constantly.
This afternoon was spent doing a little consulting work, reading, and doing laundry. This evening McCabe and I hit up the Chinese buffet in town before heading over to Mike’s to watch Anchorman and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle while he was on duty. Tomorrow will likely be spent reading for class and doing assignments for the two Tino classes I’m taking this semester (compilers and crypto).
At some point this coming week I’ll probably go see House of Flying Daggers at the American and Elektra (even if everyone seems to think it’s horrible).
The following was a partial post that’s been sitting as a draft in WordPress for a week or two now, so I figured I might as well post it…
In my neverending quest to integrate and simplify things, I’ve recently begun switching to Mozilla Firefox on all of my machines. As part of this I’ve been merging in bookmarks from both Epiphany and Safari. Someone was cool enough to write an XSL transform to convert the Epiphany bookmarks.rdf file to the HTML format used by Firefox. You can find information on it here and the actual XSLT file here.
Migrating Safari bookmarks was a little harder. At first I couldn’t find an up to date XSLT for doing it but found several helpful resources [1, 2]. Eventually I came across a page from Marc Liyanage with a transform that was close. After making a few tweaks it worked perfectly. The modified file can be found here.
