celine (Robert Fullmer):
Itinerary:
5/2 - 5/13: Hang out in Boston, go to Steer Roast, and generally make a
nuisance of myself (and get various programs to work better in
the MIT environment while I'm there).
5/7 - 5/13: Finish the paper I didn't get done before I left. Start it
first, and then finish it, maybe.
5/14 - 5/20: Clean up my apartment (yecch), and pack up and send all my
worldly goods to either California or Boston. Work at OCIS
and set up the documentations people for the summer.
5/20 - 6/3: Hang out in Southern California, lying on Monarch Beach and
visiting with old friends. Play copious amounts of basketball.
5/22 - 5/24: Get a ride up to Berkeley and see a friend graduate, maybe?
6/3 - ?: Fly back out to Boston and (hopefully) start work. Anybody
know of a cheap way to get from Houston or California to Boston,
one way? Hitchhiking is probably too slow...

Life is curious. Sometimes one wants to freeze every moment, others
it seems it would be preferable to not be alive.
The Roast was fantastic, but I wish I hadn't gone.

From fierro@uts.amdahl.com Tue May 7 23:39:35 1991
From: fierro@uts.amdahl.com (Doug Fierro)
Newsgroups: comp.misc,comp.lang.c++,comp.protocols.misc,comp.protocols.tcp-ip,comp.databases
Subject: volunteers requested for server project
Date: 7 May 91 18:11:05 GMT
Reply-To: fierro@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com (Doug Fierro)
Distribution: usa
Organization: Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale CA
(this is going out to relevant computer groups. Sorry if you get
this twice.)
This is a request for volunteers to work on a server project that
will be used by USENET. There used to be a sever at UMass affectionately
known as the lyrics server which was used to retrieve/contribute lyrics of
any kind. It has been down for some time now, and there is an effort
underway to revive it and also improve the performance and features it
will offer.
This project touches a lot of areas, like databases, C++, protocols,
and UNIX stuff. It would be good for a resume, or even if you want
something to do over the summer. The whole world would use this server
once it is complete (no joke!).
People interested should contact Niall Emmart at
Niall.Emmart@saturn.ucc.umass.edu
All questions/suggestions/etc. should go directly to him. I'm just sort
of the facilitator/coordinator. You can still contribute to the design
specs. since I don't think actual coding has begun yet. Below is mail
I recieved from Niall which outlines the project.
Thank you for your time,
Doug

From: Usenet Oracle <oracle-vote@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu>
Subject: Usenet Oracularity #298-02
Selected-By: mzintl@plasma.ps.uci.edu (Michael Zintl)
The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
> Oracle,
> What is a hymen and how do I get rid of it?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
} Long shrouded in primitive ritual and religious ceremony, the rupturing
} of the hymen has today become a routine matter, involving a brisk
} afternoon's work with tools found in most suburban basements. As
} instructions for this simple procedure can be found in any handyman's
} guide, the Oracle will just provide a few helpful footnotes and
} warnings.
}
} 1) Handle all corrosive liquids with extreme care.
}
} 2) Most vacuum cleaners cannot provide sufficient suction.
}
} 3) Drill bits should not exceed 3/16 inch.

Maybe it's a character flaw, But I found this song amusing....=)
'Ello lover (x4)
Have you noticed
That, people are still having sex?
All the denouncement
Had absolutely no effect.
Parents and counselors constantly scorn them
But, people are still having sex,
And nothing can stop them.
'Ello lover (x2)
Do you realize
That, people are still having sex?
They've been told not to,
Perhaps they are perplexed.
When you see them holding hands,
They're making future plans
To engage in the activity.
Do you understand me?
(chorus)
People are still having sex.
Lust keeps on lurking.
People are still having sex.
This AIDS thing's not working.
People are still having sex.
It's been going on for quite a while.
Perhaps, it's quite fashionable.
It hasn't gone out of style.
'Ello lover (x6)
It's a fact that,
People are still having sex.
It's rather obvious,
It's just what one expects.
The evidence is all around,
That everyone in every town
Has had it at one time or
Another in their life.
At this moment;
People are still having sex.
In a downtown condo,
Or a street in the Projects.
Although you can't see them,
Or hear their breathing sounds,
Someone in this world
Is having sex right now.
People are still having sex. (x4)
(Bridge)
Sex (x8)
(Bridge)
(chorus)
People are still having sex. (x4)
Sex

Good plan? =)

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting no where fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part
his words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
..History will teach us nothing
- Sting
Nothing Like the Sun

vagrawal (Vivek Agrawal):
To find Absolute Truth and have a good time while I'm at it.
Other ideas:
Relativity is why class is so long when you have to go to the bathroom.
Politicians are elected to serve the public, not to be public servants.
If you want to succeed, it's a good idea to have confidence, trust, patience,
and humility.
Universal constants:
Ocean waves on the beach (the only thing I'm sure of right now).
