So last night (using that tutorial I linked to) I started learning GTK/Perl stuff. I actually made decent progress on my first goal of writing an MP3 player that works how I want it to. Currently it sets up most of the GUI, and picks 20 random songs and their info out of the db. Not bad for a couple hours last night.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
