it’s late. I’m overdue for bed.

I don’t know where to begin.

Washington Post: Student Wrote About Death and Spoke in Whispers, But No One Imagined What Cho Seung Hui Would Do

Flags are at half-mast today.

I don’t feel much like being productive today, but I have been/am. I’m getting my work done despite myself, playing with six different highlighter colors on pages before they hit the computer.. Josh Ritter’s been playing in my headphones past few hours.. it’s almost been a fun morning.

My best friends at the office: Pandora and firefox extension for Last.fm.
I tried to use PandoraFM but workplace internet blocks it.

Other software note: Multiplicity is very excellent app to allow control over multiple computers (each with their own monitor) with one keyboard/mouse. This is fantastic…if only my laptop would stop shutting down every couple minutes (haven’t been able to take it in for service, yet.)

Also, Launchy, which can be trained to act much like Spotlight, and anyway is an excellent (and open-source) launching app. I wish it allowed command-line commands or full-path calls, but aside from those missing features, it’s quite perfect. Definitely most useful to me at home than work, but quite pleasing at work as well.
