Ulysses Grant was pretty much a machine that consumed cigars and emitted union victories.

It would have been tough since the book and movie for 2001 were created concurrently.

In the library of my high school, circa 1995, there were a couple computers for student use. There was a sign near them saying "No Surfing".

Impressive!

How much manual pruning/selection from the generated text do you have to do?

It's sort of surprising, but it's a group of weird, creative people with tons of money and free time. I'm sure they're doing tons of odd stuff, model trains among them. (Once they're off drugs, that is.)

My gripe is the 1/2 second pause between tracks, even when they're supposed to blend together, like between 3rd and 4th movements of Beethoven's 5th. Otherwise it's awesome.

Maybe they're all just Johnnie Walker fans.

I've got something similar driven by a data entry sheet where I put transactions. The monthly columns populate by sumifs()'ing off of that sheet.

I just started my third calendar year of this system on January 1st. It's working out pretty well. I like it more than an off the shelf budget app because I can customize it however I want. I use to keep track of other things like the last time I vacuumed my apartment.

I miss them too. On a 1920x1080 laptop display I can see the grayscale font smoothing as a blur which my eyes try to correct for. In order to make it tolerable I've turned off font smoothing globally. Ugly and jagged text gives me less eyestrain than the built in blurriness of Windows font smoothing.

This seems like an item for "Show HN".

(Not trying to scold or anything, but seems like this would fit well with that convention.)

Seems like the kind of process you'd come up with while tripping on hallucinogenic mushrooms.

I've been using this app for several months without knowing what the "Go" feature was for. I guess I could turn it on and maybe help out other riders. Although if my phone is set to only get tower-level accuracy I don't know how much it would help.

Anyway great app and I look forward to the improvement when this rolls out to my city.
