Finishing the Fight
Right now.
Badgers vs Hawkeyes
We snuck out a victory… Good thing, too, because the Outback blimp would have been pretty disappointed to fly all the way up here for that lousy first half…
Broken Fridge
Not quite what we were looking to come back to after the football game… thank heavens we still had our mini fridge sitting here, or this would be a rather unfun week.
But it is an ending…
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.
Rest in peace, Robert Jordan.
Updates
I’ve finally decided to change themes on this here blog. I’m now using a theme called “Redoable”, by Dean J Robinson.
I like it better than the last theme I had, though this one seems to be fighting with some of my plugins, such as the syntax highlighter and SmartBox, so it needs some tweaking or something. It’s also a bit heavier than my last theme, so I’m still evaluating that as well.
Thoughts, ideas, comments in general?
Did that ref just say "disconcerting"?
Subtitled: Is disconcerting even in the vocabulary of the average NCAA viewer?
Apparently it ought to be, since it truly is the rule:
From Rule 7-1-5-a-3 (pg 98): [Note: 1.6M PDF]
No player shall use words or signals that disconcert opponents when they are preparing to put the ball in play. No player may call defensive signals that simulate the sound or cadence of (or otherwise interfere with) offensive starting signals. An official shall sound his whistle immediately.
Learning to Read…
(Walk to class)
(Sit down, open laptop)
(Watch and smile as automatic location detection by MarcoPolo determines that you’re now on Campus, and calls your PERL script to automatically authenticate with the captive portal)
(Smile more as Adium establishes connections and brings your IM online. The script worked!)
(Pull up calendar, news reader, and SVN repo config page)
(Grab notebook from backpack absently)
(Create a new repo to start storing your home directory in: long past due to back up some things)
Anonymous classmate: “Do you think this was the lecture he said was canceled?”
(Look up, confused. There are 3 minutes to class time, and only maybe 10-12 people in the room, instead of 50ish)
All: “What?”
(…)
(Pull up course homepage, note news item: “Reminder: There will be no class tomorrow, September 13.”)
(sad face)
(inform the next 6 people who walk into the room of the news… chuckle over collective mistake)
(go home early 🙂 )
