dchenesI've re-invented the wheel, but I don't care, because it solves a problem I was getting annoyed at.
I want to put a couple of diagrams from one of the books I'm using into my theory paper. Problem being, I don't have a scanner, and neither does the grad students' computer lab. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how not to wind up making photocopies and physically pasting them into the body of the paper.
I forgot all about my digital camera.
As soon as the battery charges, I'm going to take pictures of the diagrams and put those into the paper. Problem solved. Half of me wants to kick myself for not thinking of it sooner, and the other half wants to go around patting myself on the back for thinking of it at all.
The 31-house development being developed across the street is putting up one house as an example. I'm glad they're done with whatever they were doing that made the ground shake, but now they've started hammering, and the hammering woke me up this morning. I hope they get to the point where they build several houses at once, so I don't have to go through this 30 more times.
Today is one of those cloudy days that make me wonder if the clouds have frozen up there and if the sun will ever come out again. There's something wrong with having as much window space in my living room as I have, and having to turn the lights on because it's so dark at almost-noon.
