\nIt’s amazing how one person can produce so much suffocating stench. I don’t remember one single morning recently that there hasn’t been a smelly hobo\/drunk on the tram stop or in the tram. *Outside*, at the stop, one can smell them from 5 meters away (!!) and when they get on the tram the smell soon spreads to every corner.<\/p>\n

After yesterday’s hacking-hacking I decided to make a new category for posts called Tweaks. I’ll try to document what I’ve had to do to make the blog the way I want it to be — as a reference to myself mostly so that I can re-do them if something happens (or when I update WP<\/abbr> etc. and all my hard work will be copied over (or whichever operation the update requires)).<\/p>\n

Crazy language + statistics note:<\/strong>
\nI seem to favour 3 same-letter variations of different interjections. For example: awww, ewww, and phoooweee as in the title of this post. Language Log<\/a> had a wonderful post<\/a> (called Aw+ \":mrgreen:\" ) on the subject. Apparently, I’m following the hordes. Unintentionally!<\/p>\n

Why I think I use three letters? It’s the shortest ungrammatical<\/em> cluster of same letter. So, it stands out (well, at least somewhat, compared to cluster of one or two) and is economical.<\/p>\n

Oooh… I almost slipped an eggcorn<\/a> (I’ve read WAY too much LL<\/abbr>). I first wrote “hoards” instead of “hordes” but luckily checked it.<\/p>\n

Regular expressions are nifty. I just wrote in an *informal* report on “what on earth I’ve been doing all summer” and when I would’ve had to write “subdirectories and subdirectories’ subdirectories” (or “subsubdirectories”) I simply put (sub)+directories which my professor will surely understand (the + is a Kleene plus meaning >1, a Kleene star * would be >0)<\/p>\n

The cleaning lady had brought me a waste-paper basket. Very kind. Too bad I’m finishing work on Monday…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
