There are no chapter one notes.

.gitignore can have rules:
# a comment - this is ignored
*.a       # no .a files
!lib.a    # but do track lib.a, even though you're ignoring .a files above
/TODO     # only ignore the root TODO file, not subdir/TODO
build/    # ignore all files in the build/ directory
doc/*.txt # ignore doc/notes.txt, but not doc/server/arch.txt

Articles like this: "Big Data's Big Problem" make me mental. I have loved data analysis before Data Mining and Big Data became constant Linkedin feed fodder. I would really have to think about making such a big pivot, but working in SAS, hadoop, strata, etc. would be a blast.

Have some local files:
all_files/file_2.txt
file_1.txt

Locally create a repo, git init.
Create remote: ssh://scottco@174.1.1.1/~/public_html/git_test.git
Stage via "git add ." all those, commit. Ok, that works.

ssh onto remote server:
scottco@scottlawrencemassey.com [~]# cd public_html

I think this is Tom Wolk on bass. It makes me happy to listen to him play, he played like a cross between Motown and Paul McCartney. Apparently, the song is about a dude with ties to Chicago, the son of the guy who brought KFC to Chicago. Yekh. Anyway, T-Bone Wolk is my favorite thing about Hall & Oates.

Just ordered real book; same price I paid 20 years ago.

Two great examples of space in music:

1. The clean guitar in “Another One Bites the Dust”
2. The bass line in the theme from “Mad Men”

Returning to a point in the past is a fool's quest, to be sure. When I think longingly of my 20's, I force myself to remember the whole picture: the poverty, the hangovers, the anger and frustration. My 20's were about trying to have a bigger time than the night before, and I have very little to show for it but memories. Many good. But dim and growing dimmer.

When I first start studying Japanese, I listened to podcasts like Tokyo Calling. It was fascinating to listen to people living overseas talk about their daily experiences. Scott Lockman, the host, has discontinued his podcast a few times, often to revive it for brief periods with differing formats. Because I like the guy, I kept my subscription to his podcast going all these years, but recently he announced he was letting the domain expire. It was kind of sad to hear.
