The first use is obviously to play music, the second use however is as an alarm clock. You can set the alarm, put the iPod to sleep (to save the battery over night) and when the alarm goes off, the iPod will wake itself and play the music that you selected with the alarm!! Marvelous...

It is 3 A.M. I'm programming. The idiosyncrasies between my PowerBook's PowerPC Processor and the SPARC at school are killing me. One thing works just fine on the PPC and causes GCC to throw fits on the SPARC...

I'm on my second day of no caffeine. A couple of headaches today, with an overarching atmosphere of general confusion and fogginess. No cravings yet, but I know those are down the road.
April 16, 2004
Hmmm... day four. The headaches came back briefly tonight, but otherwise I feel great without any caffeine. I also don't feel the need to munch while I'm working - which is nice.

I rested this week to strengthen myself for the onslaught of the semester's end. I'm sheepishly mustering what strength I have left for it.

I'm back on caffeine. Eight and a half days without. This weekend I will likely be pulling all nighters to finish all of the project work that I have to. *sigh*

I reinstalled the compiler once before I realized that I was installing XCode 1.0 which only worked on Jaguar (OS 10.2), so I downloaded and installed XCode 1.1 and the compiler is up and running again...

It's 2:42am, I'm putting the finishing touches on the final phase of my Operating Systems II projects. It is a good feeling to be able to look forward to finals.... i.e. anything else besides this project...
