HS Day 35: D&D Adventure Number Two
Arrived at Hacker School around 10am, which gave me some time to surf the internet and work on the Risk AI server before meeting up with Alisa, Ian, Martin, and Matt for Dungeons and Dragons. I DMmed a short adventure in which the heroes, upon retrieving the treasure from a temple, are found by a…

HS Day 34: Fourth of July!
I started off my Fourth of July by sleeping in until 3pm. It seems that twelve hours is the amount of time I sleep naturally if I don’t set an alarm, which is okay with me – the only problem being that it’s hard to stay on a consistent schedule with a non-24-hour sleeping/not sleeping…

HS Day 33: Party
I started off today by sleeping in a bit – I stayed up until 3am the previous night, and I knew there was no way I was going to get in to Hacker School on time (10:30), so I set my alarm for 11am. Got in to Manhattan around noon. Worked with Erik, Alex, Ian,…

HS Day 32: Risk
I’m writing this the day afterward – you’ll see why. Yesterday I woke up on time and took the normal route (R -> D) to Hacker School. There was a lady on the train writing what I could only describe as indecipherable scribbles on a page of paper, but she seemed to know what it said.…

HS Day 31: Back to School
Monday morning – I woke up at 8:30 to my alarm and got ready for the day. Took the R to Atlantic/Barclays station alongside my roommate, who happened to be leaving at the same time for Maine. Sometime in the next few days I’m moving down the hall to Imogen’s room, since she’s moving back to…

HS Day 28, 29, 30: StarCraft Weekend
Basically watched a bunch of StarCraft this weekend. For some reason I’m feeling really low on energy and motivation right now, so I’ll be focusing on regulating my sleep schedule and eating properly for the next few days to get back on track mentally. I’m not worried or anything – just slightly down and out…

HS Day 27: Back to School
Short post tonight because I’m tired and it’s a bajillion degrees in my apartment right now which makes it hard to write. Plus I wrote a lot of technical/life posts over the past few days so hopefully that makes up for it? Aaron messaged me last night and asked me to help him with an…

Free Linux Servers
Every once in a while, I find myself needing to quickly run linux or one of its derivatives. Here are some resources I’ve gathered that allow quick setup of a disposable linux server: 1. VirtualBox Runs on your own machine as a VM. Internet connectivity. You’ll need to download an ISO and install it. You…

Installing VBFNLO
My friend Aaron has an internship with CERN or something like it, and he’s using a tool called VBFNLO for… something with particles. Anyway, he was concerned about being able to install VBFNLO, so he called and asked me for help. After a bit of searching, we found by using cat /etc/issue that he was…

HS Day 26: A Full Day Off
Slept in, again. This time until around 3pm. I wasn’t even up super late – I went to bed around 2am, which normally means I can get up around 10 and be totally fine (that’s 8 hours!). I think I need a better alarm sound – the one I’m using currently is super soothing and…
