I did 1.14 in Open Office Draw, which turned out to be a bad idea. I really should have used graphviz to make the tree, and will probably go back and do it in graphviz anyways. Oh well. There are a lot of things I am not really liking about Draw and this problem would have been way easier to do in graphviz. A Draw like program for making diagrams and wireframes is nice sometimes, but Draw itself feels cumbersome. I will be in search of a better application for that purpose.
Today I realized that I need new music and in my search remembered
http://www.thesixtyone.com/. Last year I signed up with an account and never used it. Now I've used the site a bit and so far I like it. The UI is a bit weird at first, and I was having trouble finding things. Some things about the site aren't really intuitive. I also don't like the modal box that pops up after ever new song when you are listening to songs on the rack. That being said so far the music is new and decent. I want to build up some status on the site to see what sort of recommendations I get. I've noticed that sites like last.fm (while a pretty awesome idea) recommend me stuff that I don't really like or I already listen to. Hopefully the sixty one will be better than that.
During my SICP quest I learned about successive squaring today. Successive squaring is defined as
if n is even and
if n is odd. This quickens things up when finding exponents.
