I also rebuilt my personal website recently—it’s an interactive web terminal now (thanks to my friend Linda for the inspiration). There are lots of hidden commands, see which ones you can find!
Anyhow, that’s it from me for now. I have a term paper due tomorrow and a math exam on Tuesday, and then it’ll be off to New Orleans with a few friends until Friday, when we’ll be back for Senior Ball. Finally departing from undergrad—feeling bittersweet, but it’s time to close this chapter.
