What follows is a very quick response to Rockwell Automation’s Manufacturing Perspectives, 2007. I figured that, as an American college student, when I talk about global economics and industry standardization it’s only appropriate to make a lot of references to “playing ball,” and the “ball game,” right? Even though I have only about 30 minutes [...]
On October 8th, Professor Baird gave a lecture entitled “Enigmatic Gay Genius,” about Alan Turing, the eminent war-era Mathematician and (what would now be called) Computer Scientist. The lecture was a joint venture of both the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the on-campus LGBTQIA group. The lecture favored a biographical tone over the [...]
I just ran a degree audit, and it looks like this thing is going to work out after all. In May, I will be walking away with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. In fact, it looks like I might be getting a Bachelor of Science in [...]
I just spent all day at the 2008 ACM Mid-Atlantic collegiate programming contest. Two Lehigh teams participated at the Eastern Pennsylvania competition held at Wilkes University. We put forth a Java language team, and a C language team (which I was in.) We left around sunrise and spent all day writing code and eating. Other [...]
Be it here known to the reader that a wistful monologue of reminiscence follows, below.
While I was working as a carpenter I listened to a lot of Miles Davis. I’d get up very early some mornings; 6:00am or so, just in time to grab some coffee and a donut or bagel from Dunkin Donuts during [...]
This blog was originally titled “Social Dehomoginization and Today’s Keynesian Rhetoric,” but I couldn’t go through with it. I was actually planning on trying to enter some sort of discussion about those topics, but it was just too pompous. What reads below relates to that plan of action.
It’s been a while since I’ve gone for [...]
Seems like kind of a lot, doesn’t it? In two days, it will be exactly five years since Jack Ludden made a recording, the title of which claimed him to be 6,400 days old. That’s quite a bit cooler, since 6400 = 802. But, “oh well.” Sometime in late July, 2013, I will be 10,000 [...]
Well, maybe a CD is good enough for you. Maybe you have some CD-R’s lying around, and want to burn them. I don’t know. Or, maybe you’ve tried the default UNetBootin but then the FreeBSD installer didn’t recognize your Realtek ethernet card. Well, whatever. Here’s how to install FreeBSD 7.0 from a Flash drive.
I’ll be [...]
Yea, I don’t know what this blog title means, but it looks cool and it’s the name of a radical song by an electronic band from 1981. If you can spot just one person in this video that is not rocked out of their skull on cocaine, well sir or madame, I will be rather [...]
…Seriously? Just, fucking seriously? What the fuck is this joke bull shit. I went to Palin’s wikipedia page tonight and there was a picture of dog shit that had been substituted for her face. I did a Google search for “Sarah Palin” “Are you kidding me?” and got “about 178,000″ hits. Of course, everything gets [...]
