Cool, thanks! Gosh, everyone on this thread is so helpful with making graphs and charts and finding data.
CatHectic, thanks for the playlist! Just tried installing Spotify but it keeps crashing. I'll try again later, but I notice on the list that 4:33 has a running time of 4:38.![]()
I've been rehearsing Britten's War Requiem all week, the mood of which fits pretty well with the mood on this thread lately. I'm playing timpani, and I have a lot of tuning changes in the piece. When this happens, I write a note at the top of the page showing which drum is tuned to whcih note, so I can keep track. At rehearsal last night, I realized I miss one, and started writing the pitches at the top of the page--F, A, D and E. Then I realized I had written FADE. It's like I'm being haunted by Time. It kinda freaked me out.

If you've been foolish enough to provide your own hat, there's a Table of Shame for that, too.
P.S. 97th post - largest prime below 102.

Well, if we're being complete, I also tested lynx (#ffff00) and elinks (#000000). Of course, in both, the beach is pretty unrecognizable, it just looks like the letters ‘T’, ‘i’, ‘m’ and ‘e’.

I don't think she's coming back. Mock me as an apocalyptist or a Loopist, but I don't think she's coming back. That tiny bye, the bag on her back, the tilt of her head: it tells me that she isn't coming back. Not here. Not to this. Who knows. Maybe the two of them will build a mighty wall further up, a stalwart bulwark against the sea, but this castle? No. It is to be left to the sea. This is more tragic than any single darkening pixel.
