I'm wasted at this job.

I am a student at heart. I love to study and learn. If I am not learning, I am bored. It's that simple.

I would really rather spend all my time researching, speculating and experimenting.

I also love to just sit and watch how systems work. If I didn't have to "do whatever I have to do to earn money to pay rent and buy food" - I would literally just sit around and think about how all these systems work (and how to make them work better)

Do you know ArXiv, the open pre-print database of scientific articles?

Well, there's also https://info.africarxiv.org/ for African research:

AfricArxiv is a free, open source and community-led digital archive for African research. We provide a non-profit platform for African scietists to upload their working papers, pre-prints, accepted manuscripts (post-prints), and published papers. We also provide options to link data and code, and for article versioning.

Holy nuts. The #Beets program:

Can automatically organize all your music metadata!

So I have the #JetSetRadio soundtrack. All the songs are made by different people, which messes up my "Search by artist" function on my iPod.
Each of these artists really only have 1 song each, and I just want to listen to some JSR, so Beets can batch modify the music album, turning them all into one artist - "Jet Set Radio" and also put them all in the same album!

Very, very handy.
