So I went to visit my grandmother. I love my grandmother. She watches too much Fox News, however. I say this because she had FN on when I went over to visit tonight, and....augh. Michael Jackson? According to the single biggest TV news outlet, there's too much coverage of Michael Jackson's death. They kept mentioning this among ~45 minutes of talking about Michael Jackson's death and media...

A. Apartment: I still find plenty of dead roaches, but not many live ones. Of course, I help by remaining there and particularly eating there as little as possible. I would like to say I cannot wait to get out of here, but I can at least say I have high hopes of doing so. B. Bedtime: My sleeping habits have been completely whacked for months now. I can't get a handle on it. If work isn't keeping...

Dear Readers, I'm taking a quick break from studying at the moment. So, I did my Halloween trick or treating memes--one I cribbed from countessmary , and a zany, hilarious one from rowenablue . My LiveJournal Trick-or-Treat Haul hazelwitch goes trick-or-treating, dressed up as Republican. ___io___ tricks you! You get a broken balloon. bevlovesbooks gives you 7...

Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture. Post that picture with NO editing (save potentially for size). Post these instructions with your picture. Actually not a self-portrait. I cajoled zamiel into taking a picture of me and returned the favor , using his cam-phone.

Stolen from zamiel , whilst he was whining because I scored more betta. I could survive for 1 minute, 44 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor ---------------- Now playing: The Sisters of Mercy - This Corrosion http://foxytunes.com/artist/the_sisters_of_mercy/track/this_corrosion

To Atlanta, that is. I'd already planned a trip to Atlanta for Anime Weekend Atlanta, and maintaining my plans seemed quite sensible, after sitting in my powerless home ever since last Friday night and finding a tree through my office after an expedition to work. So now, I'm safely ensconced at zamiel 's place. As the regional power companies are using ominous time units like "weeks" for their...

Is the client-server model going to be the predominant model for computers forever? I used to think we'd read a point, either before or because of IPv6, where every system would be a server. If telcos wanted to limit out upstreams, that's fine, wait a few years, and people will just build their own local meshnets, which will ultimately replace broadcast radio and both blanket and connect cities for...
