I'll spare the "another year" moaning that everyone else does about now... So I went out to the mall to hook up with the 2600 group, but didn't see anyone I knew. Needless to say, I spent about two hours lurking, waiting for someone I knew to arrive...

Hmm...
Now, I'm not a Democrat (nor much of a Republican, how about that Green party, egh? ), but I've been watching some of the debates - like the one for the Iowa Caucus last night. I am more rational than the typical voter...

It's official...
I won't be voting Republican in the 2004 elections... I've always voted Republican before, why change now?? is . I can't see why the FBI needed this additional power, they should have to be checked by a judge as they always have been before.I walked to the cafe again today...

Staying Up Late
Staying up late and coding... It is about 2 am now. I'm actually making some progress with my Parallel GA project - I haven't touched it in a week, but I didn't feel much like reading tonight. I'm trying to tackle the breeding function(s) tonight (this morning).....

Where are my books
The semester starts in 4 days - where are my books, my books, my books??? I should have checked the shipping more carefully before I bought them, both Amazon and BookByte used USPS to ship them.... God knows when they'll show up.

My only beef with OS X
I love TextEdit. Even more since it can read Microshaft Document files *grin* There is only one beef - it doesn't support split columns at ALL!!! You can't create them, you can't view them - and this is a major problem that almost cost me a publication tonight. If Dr...

The light breaks through the clouds - for once
I got the RA spot that I was hoping for, thank God, I was really dreading going out and looking for a part-time job. I now, for the first time...

Yesterday was the first day of class - joy *grin* I swear if one more professor goes through the syllabus one more time.... I have one class in Stillwater, I elected to ride the bus over right after eating lunch - big mistake. I was not feeling very well after that...

I discovered that there is a wireless network on OSU's campus in Stillwater. I went to the Administrator's office to get my account setup. Pleasant enough. I was explaining to him that I only have one class here in Stillwater and that the rest where in Tulsa. "Well...

Joe and Nathan are at the cafe today, working on their Operating System project. They impress me. They know so much as Seniors in high school - things I didn't learn until my Senior year in college. Nathan was already accepted to the U of Illinois!

I read Tim Bray's ongoing today (there is usually good stuff in there) and he had a link to an interesting new development in the blog sphere. Basically you type in a URL and the website reports back the links "cosmos". In other words, it reports in bound links to that particular site...

I almost over slept the Stillwater bus this morning... I arrived just as the bus pulled up to the stop. I have enjoyed my break from life's rigor immensely, but now I think it is time once again to struggle toward the shore or order and try to get some structure back in my routine...

Hopeless Lamers
I attended a meeting of the Knowledge Management Society today. Lame, but I don't blame the poor participants, after all they are living and working in Tulsa and are suffering from desperation...

So, the professor I was supposed to work with this semester just got picked up by the police for solicitation of a minor for lewd acts... doesn't that beat all. It was a sting operation. Fortunately, I should be able to get reassigned to a different professor.

The benefits of class
The thing that I value most in a really great class is that it pushes you out of your comfort zone. Many of the core classes in computer science are not fields that I am extremely interested in, however I am forced to endure them a second time to complete a Master's degree...
