This is why no updates lately:
thesis proposal, AI presentation, op sys, compilers, consciousness paper
So sue me. You can read my thesis proposal here, though I can't guarantee it won't put you to sleep. The rest of them get "done" tomorrow, so after that you'll hear more from me. |

It's been eons since I updated this thing. I've been kinda busy.
Pete came and went. It was a good weekend. He seems to be doing well, and I hope his up trend continues. Razhel rocked @ the concert, and so did Catch 22. Their bassist was hilarious. Midtown sucked, and Eve 6 was kinda boring.
Umm... I got a laptop. It roxors my boxors. T40, 1.3 ghz Centrino, integrated wireless, 30 gig HD, etc, etc. The battery time is great and it runs Gentoo awesomely.
When I get out from under this pile of work I'll talk more. |

Due to my industriousness in buying a third party firewall to protect my computer, a worm was able to wreak havoc on the network here as well as write to random places on all my hard drives. Once I reboot I am not guaranteed to have anything back. So I might be gone awhile. |

Still kinda bored. Finished Ender's Game. Totally rocks. I'm really looking forward to the movie. Gonna try some old school sci-fi that my Dad likes (Chronicles of the Lensmen) next, so I'll let you know.
Was kinda sick today. The food tastes good here (especially the home cooked meals), but I think it has some creative differences with my digestive tract. I should be back to 102.43% tomorrow.
And here's a note for all you nay-sayers out there... I might actually be getting a laptop. Yes, stop your gasping, get a drink of water, sit down and take a breather. I might spend money on something for once. :P Bryan sent me a sweet deal from EPP that I might take advantage of. Now all I need to do is borrow the money from my parents! :P Either that or wait until my tax return comes in, which SHOULD be in the next "10-16 days". I'm not sure if I really trust the federal government on that one. |

Due to my boredom lately I've been looking for good movies to watch here at home. Not much in the theaters around here (though Starsky and Hutch looks kinda promising...). Anybody have any suggestions? (I'll see about Identity, Alex.)
Also, I have to wake up early to go to work at 8 tomorrow. Ugh. |

Break is boring, not much going on here. I've been doing some reading, which is good. Those of you in warmer, sunny places, let me know the next time so I can sneak in your bags. |

Canadians tax their blank CDs, and thus make it legal for you to privately download any music you want to burn it. Hmmm... why isn't this the case in other countries? Makes sense to me. |

I would like to reiterate my experience this evening:
[walk into D's room, he's passed out on the futon]
D: "Should I be drunk, or sober?"
Me: "Probably drunk."
D: "Should I fart, or not?"
Me: "Go for it."
D: [gigantic fart]
Me: [fall on the floor laughing]
D: "Don't look at me, you asked for it."
Suffice to say, Debar is funny as hell drunk.
I know, I know, no posts lately. 2 tests and a last minute grant will do that to a person. I'm on duty this weekend so I'll have free time to talk about things and stuff and other things. |

I just went and saw the "Magdaline Sisters" at Cinema 10 tonight. Cinema 10 is a little event they do once a week at the local theater where they show random/independent/smaller films. I saw the Station Agent there a little while back and really enjoyed it.
Tonight though was a different story. The movie is about Catholic asylums in Ireland that women committing "mortal sins" were sent to. Raped? Oh, you committed a mortal sin. Too "fliratious"? Sorry, to the asylum you go. What the hell. These women were forced to work all day, being told that if they worked their whole lives they would be able to "atone for their sins." The whole movie just pissed me off. All kinds of stupid stuff went on: beatings, priests molesting the girls, etc, etc. One girl was taken advantage of by a priest, said something about it, and was sent to an insane asylum! Gimme a break.
Where are people's brains? I just don't get it. They make up their own doctrine and somehow people attribute it to a God that "loves" them. Gimme a break. It doesn't even make LOGICAL sense, regardless of theological.
Bah. I'm done. |

Boston was great. Walked around Harvard Square, Boston Garden, Boston Commons, downtown, bookstores, trinket shops, movie theaters, malls, etc. It was freakin COLD. The wind is no fun. I wasn't as fortunate as SOME people (cough SARAH cough) who had long underwear. Though it didn't seem to do her much good either. We had great Thai food too. Some place called Spice down near Harvard. The waitress was a little stiff but the food was greatness. Mucho kudos to Sarah for putting up with me and taking me around to see everything. And kudos to Ben too for the use of his bed. (I made it even, and left a note!)
The drive was good. I got to actually use more than just 5th gear in the Adirondacks. It makes me want a kick arse car that has umph to it. Like a BMW M3. Or something.
Watch these:
http://www.turnpikefilms.com/spots.html
They're awesome. Sarah gave them to me. She said they're an "awesome site." I said she was a awesome sight. I dunno. Something like that.
DAMN! I keep forgetting things. I got an AWESOME CD that has great music. African tribal stuff... you know, like the Lifesavers commercial (life savers... HUMM) that just sounds awesome. I have a whole CD of it. Be jealous. Sarah got the new Norah Jones. Believe it or not it's a good CD. |

(00:53:11) Me: my question is this though: why would the framebuffer work sometimes, and not others?
(00:53:26) Me: when i first installed the new kernel, worked fine. rebooted several times, worked fine. then rebooted today, no framebuffer
(00:55:05) Me: probably something about boobs
(00:55:06) Me: and legs
(00:55:07) Me: or something
(00:55:47) Bryan: what? :)
(00:55:53) Me: OMG
(00:55:57) Me: hahahha
(00:56:00) Me: totally a wrong window
(00:56:03) Me: but the framebuffer question still stands
(00:56:13) Bryan: er, right donny
(00:56:19) Me: my bad
Good lord. I need sleep or something. Either that or i need to learn to READ WHO I'M TALKING TO. |

To start, writing at 2:30 in the morning is always bad. At least, with me.
I feel like damaged goods. Like there might be something wrong with my innards that puts me second best to the newest model. Not that I don't have self confidence, either. I can stand on my own two feet and live just as well as anybody else. It's just that when I go home at night all I can think about is what I didn't do, or what I could have done, or what might have been. It makes me feel incomplete.
I almost wish I had a way to turn off my brain when I wasn't around other people. The whole alone thing doesn't do much for me.
I dunno. It's like I have the most important thing in the world to say and I don't know how to say it. I'm usually pretty versatile with words, but now all I have is silence, and all I feel is empty.
Maybe I'm just tired. |

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Latin hymn or not, it's still awesome. |

Lunch was good today. It was nice to just talk to someone for an hour about all kinds of stuff. I have to admit I miss having a roommate for similar reasons. Seems like I keep myself so busy that I don't sit down and just enjoy someone's company. So hats off to the bagels.
Speaking of which. I have no sense of timing whatsoever. My brain is very optimistic, and it bites me in the ass alot of the time. I get the tendency to be humble and pensive cause I want to keep everything in balance. I suppose it's not necesarily a bad thing, but it doesn't always work.
I can't decide whether or not I like this music yet. |

I get bored alot lately. Not sure what the deal with that is exactly. It's definitely not like I don't have enough to do. Plenty of homework/projects/reading/etc. to do. I'm interested in most of it, too. Just don't feel like I have a reason to do it. After this semester I have 6 credits and I could graduate. Which is good and weird. Mostly weird. I've only had one 'related' working experience in my life and I'm pretty much done.
I gotta get a girlfriend. That's prolly part of it too. |

Yeah, I know. No posts, blah blah blah. I'm on some aggregated list now so I have to 'limit my whining', as Steve would say. I'm gonna get another blog so this one can remain whineful. Or something like that. |

Seriously. Somebody said that to me. I went to pop some popcorn, and she's like "ooooh." I said it was "just popcorn." Apparently you can't JUST have popcorn.
Classes aren't that bad so far. We haven't done much other than history. Compilers should be interesting in Java. Brendan might have a heart attack and kill us all because we aren't using C. Who knows. AI should be cool, but I have no idea what I want to do for a project and I need to decide by Feb 2. I hope that we can stop reading slides in Op Sys soon.
Outside of that I have 9 credits of "other" stuff... thesis research, a directed study, and COSI. COSI is typical, I can handle that. A bit more work now that I'm helping to run it. The directed study should be awesome - I'm reading some really interesting stuff. The thesis... um... Tino is still way smarter than me and it'll be a bit before I can wrap my brain around some of these papers.
I'm on a movie drought lately. Everything I have I've seen a million times. Anybody have any movies that they think are completely freakin awesome and think I should see? Lemme know. |
