Polyphasic Sleep Experiment: Day 8 OF DOOM
And then I failed. Of course I failed. For some STUPID reason I put my phone+alarm clock ULTIMATE COMBO on the bedside table. When I woke up at 7am after my nice little 3hr core sleep, I clicked “Turn off alarm” and thought with a very very small part of my brain (which I like to call ‘the stupid brain’), “Hey! I’m pretty tired! Let’s lie down!”....
Feature request: Consolidate link posts
You know, the way Mark does it. Takes my delicious feed’s entries and posts a single consolidated post at the end of the day.
Oh, and it’d be nice if, when the delicious feed contains no description for a particular entry, it didn’t output broken html.
Polyphasic Sleep Experiment: Day 7
It’s impossible. There’s just no way I can get myself to get up after my three hour core nap. I *always* oversleep by an hour. Which means that I’m tired but not inhumanly tired. Which means that my body has no incentive to do radical changes to my REM sleep. Which means I’ll never learn to nap. Which means I’ll never be able to master polyphasic sleep.
I...
Uh. Why does it seem like tumblr’s just picking random delicious bookmarks that I marked ages ago and throws them in together with my new ‘uns……?
It really does look messy with the blog consisting of just all my recent bookmarks. They’re all interesting and worth a read if you’re into the link’s subject, though. (And who’s not into PSP homebrew? :)...
Polyphasic Sleep Experiment: Day 4
My wonderful girlfriend recently blogged about our experiment with polyphasic sleep, the Everyman pattern to be precise. According to Puredoxyk, Everyman’s supposed to just “be tricky for a day or two”, while Uberman can be hella hard.
Well, either I’m doing it wrong or Everyman’s fuck hell much harder for those who are not übermensch like puredoxyk. At times...
Comments on a tumblr blog.
Here’s a semi-ugly hack to get comments on your blog.
Go to your settings and change to a custom theme.
Right before:
</div>
{/block:Posts}
…Paste the following.
<div class="cmt">
<a href="http://nevyn.nu/cmt/?id=YOURBLOGNAME.{ PERMALINK }">
(cmt)</a>
</div>
…So that the result looks like this:
<div class="cmt">

Further anecdotes from Java Hate Land
Style is a class that inherits from MutableAttributeSet which conforms to AttributeSet. An AttributeSet contains key-value pairs describing character attributes, which works okay. However, Style contains additional state about character attributes that is seemingly completely separate from the state held by its superclass. Using the interface from AttributeSet to set character attributes yields no...
IDEA: Meta-tags for feed consolidation.
Keeping a list of all my feeds by deliciousing them with the tag meta:feed. Then you can use that feed as a feed-feed for your feed reader. Metafeeds. Mmmmm. The idea is so good because it’s so nerdy!
Ooh. And tagging with meta:feed:group:[:[:]] to sort the feeds. And meta:feed:tag: to tag a feed. Meta-meta-meta-info. We’re really on to something here!

Must think about candidate thesis. Can’t think. Problem.

I hate the Java API. Truly. With all my heart.
A JTextPane that shows styled text can’t take an AttributedString. You can’t get the string out of an AttributedString without iterating through it, because it doesn’t inherit from String. You can insert attributed text into a JTextPane, but only by giving it a String and an AttributeSet. You can’t get an AttributeSet out of an AttributedString, but you can get a map out of...
