a common theme in my dreams is that i'm running away from something, with a fear of being caught by something. the surrounding situation has changed over several years, but it's still a theme that crops up from time to time

today i was running from some kind of oppressive captor, and i had a can of spray paint that was being weird, wouldn't stop spraying while i was releasing pressure, so i throw it out the high window i was already spraying through

this somehow caught some attention and i had to start escaping. i move down the path i came from for a few steps and notice my captors almost at the top of a staircase so i turn around and move into new ground. as i approach another staircase down i see another group and decide to give up and walk arms out toward the group as they appear.

but they're not actually my captors, they're a news team looking for a lottery winner so they can tape a reaction. i move past them, down the stair. as i run through the final stretch, someone tosses me a small item of food. s

a script to clean up my music library folders

i had a simple need: the folders of my music libary have been cluttered with old albums, that had been moved or deleted, but whose folders remained because they still had cover.jpg or AlbumArtSmall.jpg or the like left behind. i wanted these folders gone; they had no use remaining. iTunes would not see these folders (though all of these deletions/moves occurred under iTunes' watch, so you'd think it'd move the images as well *shrug*) so i took matters into my own hands.

this script searches the directory structure, starting in the current working

//i have kv, an iterator over a str.split call, whose next value is the value i'm working on
//in this match arm, i want to take the value and make it an i64

try!(i64::from_str_radix(try!(kv.next().ok_or(error::Error::InvalidResponse)), 10).or(Err(error::Error::InvalidResponse)))

//oh wait, never mind, i need an Option<i64> anyway, and i'll try! it anyway further down, so this is much nicer
kv.next().and_then(|s| i64::from_str_radix(s, 10).ok())

what is rust (baby don't hurt me)

(Hosting in a fake-blog for now until i get back to the computer with the blog files on them >_>)

I've seen a fair amount of discussion recently about what Rust's greatest "selling point" is. This was sparked by Steve Klabink's article about how Rust should be about ["more than safety"][safety]. There have been responses about how the community is top-notch, or how the titular safety allows people to feel empowered to write lower-level software than they had previously thought they were capable of. I'm going to add more words to the pile about a somewhat related point.
