OK so quite honestly, having played with Powermouse and the other stuff we beta testers were given access to, I haven’t seen drastic improvements with search. It was interesting to see how the application functioned, but thats about all I got out of it. I feel that Powerset’s release is epic mainly out of principle. The world needs to keep evolving and this is the next step in the evolution of web search. Of course, thats why Techcrunch is already shouting that M$ is interested in purchasing Powerset. I’m not sure what to think of that, but we’ll stay posted and see whats happening as this landmark release continues. Keep up the great work Powerset!

Its over. Finalmente. I think I got a 5 but if they dont give me a lot of credit on the essay I might end up with a 4, at least according to Sourav. Everything was OK except when they asked what the “New South” was and I wrote that it supported racism…at least my supporting evidence and everything was right, I just got the term wrong.

Well, either way, today sorta sucked. I wanted to watch Iron Man/Speed Racer with Kev Hsu/Karl/etc etc but my mom complained that I didn’t get enough sleep during the week or whatever…so like I went to sleep as soon as she said that. And now I’m awake and can’t fall back asleep.

This weekend is gonna suck too. I missed 3 days of physics so I have to teach myself half a chapter…plus I can’t find my first flux notes….plus I’m 2 days behind in Tran homework….plus I have an Econ AP coming up. Yup. Oh and I have Spanish vocab and stuff to do, and I didn’t start reading Death of a Salesman. Grr.

I’m not running in the race tmrw. I’m sort of glad cause I feel like crap and burnt out and shit. I wish this season were over already so I could finish school and start XC.

OK last night I freaked myself out. I was studying APUSH and as I got up I felt the left side of my stomach hurt like mad. It was like…really weird. I couldn’t bend at all without feeling this horrible pain and I stumbled downstairs to my room and laid down on my bed cause I was freaked out. I thought my liver was failing or something. And then I went to sleep…and didnt wake up until 12pm today. Thats what I get for netting around 25 hours a week for the past 5 weeks…thats 125 hours in 35 days which works out to be 3.6 hours a night. Thats…not good, especially if I’m sleeping an average of 15 hours between friday and saturday. I really have to correct my sleep pattern, or I’m gonna die. Really.

But I mean..I’m not even slacking off that much or anything. I don’t get why I’m taking so long to do everything.

Antonio Buero Vallejo

Antonio Buero Vallejo fue un dramaturgo español que escribió muchas obras teatros famosas. Participó en la guerra civil en España en 1936. Ganó el Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas en 1996 y el Premio Cervantes en 1986.

…until we take the AP test. Wonderful. Time for some total cramnation.

I…can’t bring myself to work. Ever. The only work I’ve been doing recently is reading my AP US History book, and even that is halfhearted now. I feel braindead. I spend so much time watching idiot videos on youtube…Oh but I did find this hilarious video called Final Dance Fantasy. Look that up and watch it. Dear God, I need sleep.

Running today was 4xtoploop. 9:45, 9:41, 9:15, 9:20ish. Not bad, but not really on pace either.

I can’t wait! Last time I used Fedora was back in FC6 though. I’ve got this long history with Fedora. It was my 2nd distro after Red Hat 9, and I’ve used Fedora 1, Fedora Core 2, 4, 5, 6. I’ve written guides for installing the DWL-G120 by using…fwcutter or something…it was so long ago…8th grade.

Yeah so I can’t wait. I think I’m going to install it on one of my old computers to see whats going on. Yum package manager is pretty nice too
