strych9: I think my math teacher is going to yell at me tomorrow.
nexus6: how’s that?
strych9: because i’m done with all my homework for this week.
nexus6: it’s only tuesday. good work. so why’s he going to yell at you?
strych9: well, yesterday i asked him a question after class about my homework and he just said i was ahead of the class.
nexus6: huh. that makes him either a very bad teacher, or a very not normal teacher. most math and science teachers would be like “what? someone is actually trying? that’s never happened before!” and then their heads would implode.
strych9:o’rly?
nexus6:yeah. the heads of normal people explode. but when the head of a scientist goes, it implodes because it’s so massive that it collapses under it’s own gravity.
nexus6: seriously? Huh. Let me get a second opinion from an electrical engineer.
nexus6: hey oSource? If you had to choose, would you rather be a sine wave, a square wave, or a saw wave?
oSource looks deep in thought for a few moments.
oSource: I’m lazy, so I’d be a sine wave.
nexus6: What does being a sine wave have to do with laziness?
oSource: It doesn’t take any work to generate a sine wave.
nexus6 laughs.
nexus6: no fourier transforms for you, eh?
these are the kind of deep questions i regularly pose to my peeps.
So, the idea that technology makes us more connected to each other is all lies. How do I know? I help make that technology. Ok, so it’s more of a misconception. Technology allows us to become more connected to groups and ideas, but the format in which technology is presented makes us less connected to the human beings around us, and less able to deal directly with other human beings in a traditionally acceptable fashion.
I thought it was bad enough a in ‘01 when the mother of my child broke up with me via email.
Now? I hear tales of people breaking up with each other via text message, and the two people are in the same room.
Technology is starting to replace the human experience rather than complement it. I find myself in a position to complain about this. I complain about most things, but this I have the right to complain about for the following reason:
I’m working to fix it.
That’s right. I don’t think I can really complain unless I’m trying to do something to fix the problem. And that’s actually why I “do software.” Software sucks, and I want to make it suck less. Now I know you all think I’m crazy (more than normal). And I am. But apparently, so are other people. Let me show you.
One of my friends was getting laid and stopped to respond to a text message. Do I really even need to start on how wrong that is?
I had the amazing opportunity to see Miss Saigon today.
For lack of better words, that shit was some heavy dope.
As I left the theatre, I couldn’t help but think of my father.
Never met the guy, but I know that he got drafted into Vietnam twice.
I doubt he ever killed anyone or anything like that, but I do wonder what kind of stupid shit he did there. I mean, I got my stupidity from somewhere, and it wasn’t from Momma Doom. He had to have gotten into shenanigans there, and I’m kind of curious as to what they were. Not that I care enough to actually track them down, but I wonder if he had any war buddies that would know about his experiences…
The office of Student Affairs would like to extend a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated blood during our American Red Cross Blood Drive. We had 40 donations! Neumont is finding more and more ways to contribute to our community and Make A Difference. The following 40 people helped us save lives:
Even though I’m not the drinking type for the most part, I can’t help but wonder why I can’t skip directly to step 6, or at least concurrently perform step 6 during the other phases of contributing to mission eternity.
Overview
=========
When creating a public release, there are several steps that _must_
be respected:
1. preliminary things
1.1 update the CHANGES file
1.2 test the code
1.3 make sure all code is “signed-off”, e.g. not in a broken state and all
developers are OK with a release
2. create a subversion tag for the release in angel_app/tags/ (see versioning below)
3. the actual building:
3.1 Prepare the release using the preprelease.sh script
3.2 Build a release from the output of the preprelease.sh script using the
buildApp.sh script of your liking from the angel_app/distrib/ dir
3.3 if you create several builds, repeat steps 3.1 and 3.2
4. Run a minimal test of the build
5. Release to the public
5.1 Update http://angelapp.missioneternity.org/
5.2 Update http://www.missioneternity.org/download/
5.3 Create a blog entry at http://www.etoy.com/blog/
5.4 Ping etoy.AGENTS
6. Get drunk
so i wanted breakfast today. woke up hungry because i’m sick and when i’m sick, i eat constantly. my roommate and i go to the store to get some eggs and what with being easter tomorrow, I decided that i wanted to decorate a cake for her. I haven’t decorated a cake in like 4 years, but I think I did an ok job. she did the flowers in the middle of the sides, and put the chocolate frosting on, and put most of the cinnamon dots on, i did the rest (obviously, i mean, no girl can produce writing that bad).
