testing new comments system...

Comment spam is so annoying, I've disabled the ability to post comments. A better solution is forthcoming.
Also, in 1 month (Feb 20) I turn 25. Woah.

Men's Health informs me that I moved from the fittest to fattest city in America (article). The great thing about this article is the picture on it:

That's the pier on the Inner Harbor where I used to do yoga in Baltimore.

a baltimore pier (not the one i'm talking about)

I’ve been exercising in Chicago way more than I did in Baltimore. Working more too.

I left Baltimore over 8 months ago. I miss things about life there. I know I left for a good reason. It's easy to forget though when life is going on.
(no complete thoughts here, suckers! I'm pooped.)

The iPod should have a "last 25 added" playlist - hopefully the rationale should be clear to all. The difficulty of adding such a feature is that if you add 25 songs and then immediately remove them your list could be out of date. The solution I thought of at first was to use a stack of all the songs added (they should just be 32 or 16 bit pointers) and when an entity resolves to null you just go to the next one – the difficulty is that it is probably an embedded c++ environment where the pointers might just contain junk. My next idea was "fuck it": just update the list when songs are added, if they delete anything from the iPod, clear the list and the feature is unavailable until they add more – after all how often will people add songs and then remove them? Another possible implementation could be using the date of the files on your iTunes install and when you hit “eject” on the iPod iTunes makes a list of the most recent files and copies it before ejecting. Whatever – they can figure it out, they just need to do it yesterday.

Let me wish happy New Year to you, as well.
