On Senior Project and Other Topics

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

Senior project is going swimmingly, still. I hope to finish either this weekend (that would take a miracle) or next weekend (at the latest) - so I can extensively test, debug, and then write the paper. In fact, assuming things continue to go as swimmingly as they have, I will be ...

And Stuff.

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

The plan for this weekend: catch up as best as I can in compilers. I haven't been too good about it thus far this weekend. I woke up at noon (and it was glorious!), then spent the intervening five hours doing stuff. That is, breakfasting, lunching, and running errands. All in ...

The Weeeeekend

Monday, November 15th, 2004

... and a glorious weekend it was. Sarah has already posted a fairly complete account of this weekend's events. First off, Yosemite pictures are up in The Gallery. My Thursday started off with a fair amount of less-than-productive tomfoolery. I had to get some car care done, so I hopped over to Jiffy ...

My Hero

Thursday, October 7th, 2004

"Squeezeable Spreads on Squeezeable Breads." -Alton Brown He is my culinary hero. If you remember back to ages past [we're talking like 4+ years ago], I gave something of a lecturish dissertation on the proper construction of sandwiches. While I'm not prepared to give another exposition on the art of sandwich-making, ...

Movin’ on out…

Monday, July 26th, 2004

It-s-a movin' time! With much thanks to Mary, we have moved 100% of the big heavy stuff and 50% of the smaller easier stuff to our new place. We painted, hung wall adornments, setup furniture, and moved in kitchenware. We even had a small get together to welcome us home. The apartment ...

Coffee Overload

Tuesday, April 20th, 2004

My mom must be tracking cosmic chance. It just so happened last Thursday, I noticed I was dangerously low on coffee beans. I immediately placed an order for a supply of Mocha Java from my local place and prepared to wait out the weekend sans cafe. Miraculously, a package arrived that ...

Background Thinking

Sunday, March 7th, 2004

It seems to me that my normal process of background thinking has been decidedly inactive lately. I still remember the days I'd ponder something for hours - or even days - on end and come up with some ridiculous, yet totally correct, solution in, say, the shower at 8am. Lately, it ...

SLO Roasted

Thursday, January 29th, 2004

Ok, the folks over at SLO Roasted are way awesome. I called 'em up this morning to place another order of Taza de Oro (1lb whole-bean). It's good stuff. Not only is their stuff reasonably priced, it's good too. They're also local (Los Osos).

When life sends you lemons…

Saturday, December 13th, 2003

Slice them into an ice cold glass of Dr. Pepper. My mom (Hi Mom!) sent me some (more) lemons the other day (I just picked them up today at the post office)... and let me tell you, her tree at our house in Carmichael does wonders. That thing puts out the ...

Garnome on Solaris

Saturday, November 8th, 2003

I am going to attempt to make acie, my Solaris box cool. This entails updating some of my packages (services and stuff...) to new, and hopefully getting Garnome compiled and running. I wanna get vnc running on it with gnome. That would be the super cool. It sucks that I have ...
