Today was kind of boring. The night was also kind of boring. I’m not even all that sure what I did. I do know I did some reading. I was going to make a simple link shortener thing but decided that would be a wasted effort since there are so many out there it may be unoriginal. I may make one for personal use, one that indexes the pages that it makes a shortened link for. That way I can find pages that are interesting by keyword / make a “tag cloud” of sorts. I was thinking about writing an IO monad for node.js so that the asynchronous business can be “jailed away” in a monad, allowing for synchronous style coding; something that would greatly increase the number of users as they wouldn’t complain about being in an “asynchronous jail” monads have cool and useful properties for fixing things like that. I also started playing around with SuperCollider, this cool audio synth thing. There is a haskell binding to it to improve (?) the syntax of SuperCollider. I think this will be the first of my tumblr posts to be so long winded and unstructured as this. That’s partly due to the fact I’m writing this on my phone, partly because it’s late? Anyway, intentionally tired because I don’t want to be bored tomorrow. Oh and I was thinking about making a tumblr post about how people cynically ask why is there evil. I don’t know that my response to this is very long and the question has never caused me to wonder for a simple reason. I’m not sure that, in a cosmic sense, we know what evil is and that are interpretation seems a bit self centered. I haven’t heard this question recently but I believe people usually are refering to unnatural death. That is something to think about but then today I read about moderate hedonism which states that death is lack of sensation and thus is not good or evil. Fin.
