Pete's Log: fogginess, soccer, memory
Entry #1057, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
Pete's Log has a fog index of 7.619, according to the php translation I made of a perl script Arun wrote. Basically, I cater to the common man.
Saturday I showed up at Stepan fields for some soccer. Virgil was there as well, but nobody else. It was still fun to kick the ball around for an hour, but Virgil is getting frustrated with nobody else showing up. He may give up on trying to organize Saturday soccer. I need to begin looking into the weekday soccer options this summer.
I've started working on pgtc again. It's basically most of what I did this weekend. I'm hoping for a version 1.0 release sometime this summer. I've already added a bunch of cool new functionality. If anyone out there still has use for pgtc and would like to beta test v1.0, lemme know.
I've been amazed by memory usage of late. Let's take realplayer as an example. Most of the internet radio channels I've found use realaudio. But I kept running out of memory. So watching realplayer's memory usage while streaming audio, I saw that realplayer's memory usage increased by about 100K every 15 or so seconds! That's insane! That's awful! And it starts out at like 70 megs, so it runs out of memory in a hurry. I'm not even going to get started on mozilla's memory wastefulness. Luckily fat free radio streams mp3s, and xmms doesn't seem to leak any memory on my system. So it looks like fat free radio is going to become my internet radio stream of choice.
