So, umm, yea…

I still exist, despite not posting for almost a year and a half. Go. Me.

While I still intend to (some day) continue with quandle posts, for the time being I’ll be switching to talking about the work I’m doing this summer (and probably will talk a bit about most of the work I did last summer, which is very tangentially related.)

Kludging an MP3 Bookmark

Suppose you, a run of the mill Linux user, just downloaded a very long mp3 – for example a 10 hour mp3 of Cory Doctorow reading The Hacker Crackdown. Naturally you’re not going listen to this in one sitting; but, you cannot find a media player that implements bookmarking. What do you do?

Introduction

So I suppose I should start with the obligatory “Who the hell are you and why should I read this?” post. My name’s Geoff, I’m currently a junior year (I think… long story that I may or may not tell) undergraduate in Theoretical Math at the University of Akron.

I study math because I legitimately enjoy the subject, hard as that may be to believe if you’re not familiar with upper level mathematics. I also study computer science because I like things like programming, operating systems, and databases. Yes, I run Linux. Beyond that… we’ll see where it goes.
