[2010-01] looking at scanf, i guess

#import <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
int i;
double d;
scanf("%d", &i);
printf("i = %d, d = %lf\n", i, d);

[2010-01] an old (shitty?) PS1 I had. you should probably use the built-in one, now that it has it
export PS1="\W\$(git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ # \1/' -e \"s/(no branch)/\$(git rev-parse --short HEAD 2> /dev/null)…/\") \$ "
This requires a call to git-branch and to git-rev-parse for every shell
prompt to be displayed. This did not result in a noticeable delay for
me, your milage may vary. If we're in a git repository it adds a hash
sign and the name of the current branch to the prompt. If we're not at
the head of the branch, it displays the short form of the HEAD's SHA.

a facebook comment to josh that was over the character limit

I want the Canon EOS 50D, which was released at the end of August. The body's MSRP is 1300 USD, so we'd need a few hundred minimum on top of that for glass.

This is why I never bought a nice camera before—the models below this just seem so weak by comparison.

On the other hand, we could probably get two of the 1000Ds for the same price as one of these.

Or we could go for a 400D, since they're no longer front-of-the line, we might actually be able to afford one.

Wow, you can get a refurb'ed body for $400 from Future Shop. I don't really think a camera is something I would want to get refurbished, but it's something to look at.
