This is a short Python script to scrape data from Topsy through their API and store it in MongoDB. (Now they require an API key, so some changes are necessary to get it to work.)

Project Euler solutions

I moved my solutions to a full-fledged repo, so that's where you should go looking for my latest kludges.

Chicken Scheme program to compute the *n*th prime number (where *n* can be passed as an argument from the command line). Should be compiled using `csc` for optimal performance. Written to brute force the result of a Project Euler problem.
#!/usr/bin/env csi -ss

(define (range from upto)
(list-ec (:range n from upto) n))
(define (zero-length? l)
(= (length l) 0))

Chicken Scheme program to compute the sum of all primes below the number passed via the command line. Used to brute force a Project Euler problem. Compile using `csc` for better performance.
(use srfi-42)
(define (range from upto)
(list-ec (:range n from upto) n))
(define (zero-length? l)
(= (length l) 0))
(define (no-remainder? n d)
(= (remainder n d) 0))
(define (rounded-sqrt n)
(inexact->exact (round (sqrt n))))

What I found out about the Graduate Center email transition

What I found out about the Graduate Center email transition

Following the announcement about the migration of Graduate Center email to the hosted Microsoft Office365 service (and thus the gradcenter.cuny.edu domain), I inquired with GC IT about when our old gc.cuny.edu addresses will expire, since the announcement sent out by IT was unclear on this point.

According to the help desk, our old addresses will not be phased out so much as killed:

Once June 1st comes around, the @gc.cuny.edu accounts will be removed from our
