Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

Installing the latest R in Ubuntu
At work I have Ubuntu Maverick installed. However, the official packages are a bit outdated. Alternatively, one can add them from an rcran mirror.
In order to do that, you have to add a line to your /etc/apt/sources/list file. The following did it for me
deb http://mirrors.softliste.de/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu maverick/
In order to put the setup to work you further need to add the gpg key for the repositories. Theoretically, you can do that with
sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821
but I was getting an error
gpg: requesting key E2A11821 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
Fortunately I found someone describing the same pain, and a healing process for it too in here. After an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, I’m set up and ready to go.

Likes the new #firefox4, but the startup time is a disaster
