infryq: Kitchen scene at dawn, post-processed to appear as if painted (Default)

Yesterday morning my phone freaked out, rebooted itself, then shut itself off. I think the battery is going. I’m working on coming to terms with having to get a new phone which I will no longer be able to use one-handed. boo.

I put some time into the draft of the alumni letter in support of the trans and nb students demanding Olin finally do something about the horrendous state of Title IX and supporting services in student life. Makes me mad that rather than turn its considerable problem-solving powers to this issue when it was first raised seven years ago, Olin essentially sat on its hands. The same failing policies are in place today, placing the same onus on harassed students for actually making any changes. We built a whole school in less time.

At work I gave up on the free tier test and got everything to run on a t2.medium machine with small tweaks to the readme and installation files. Next is tackling the walkthrough, but I don’t wanna. I spent the rest of the afternoon on a literature search for surveys of work task in administrative assistance. A surprisingly sparse field.

Home, dinner, trash, crossword, Elementary, more edits to the alumni letter, snack, sleep. Dreamt of murder mystery theater at living history sites, trans friends from high school, dyeing my hair, and riding horses in full historical dress.

Yesterday I squared the end of the leftover purple canvas, sewed and pinked the ends, and set it to soak. I’ll be using it for piping. At work I finished fixing the broken tests, then started exploring the SPARQL->SQL converter I’d picked out. After an arduous journey getting it to compile (maven, of course) and picking at the benchmark scripts to try and figure out the API (because no docs) I wrote an email to the first author with some more targeted questions. It bounced, so I dug around some more on the github wiki, and found some slides from a talk. Turns out, it’s not so much a converter as a SQL schema for storing RDF, for which they have an efficient planner for doing the SPARQL conversion. So, not appropriate for our application, where our SQL schema is fixed and not remotely compatible with theirs. Bummer. My options now are to find another converter (there are two more papers I found, but neither of them have published code so I’d have to implement them myself) or back up a step and write a thing in SEMPRE to convert the formulas directly to SQL without the middleman. Booo.

My headphones finally gave up, so I bought new ones, but the CMU store isn’t stocking my favorites anymore and the alternates I tried both hurt my ears and have terrible top output.

Home, dinner, trash, crossword, Elementary, snack, sleep.

Still reading Liar’s Oath; she’s really leaning in hard on this guy being a liar at heart.
