boomer (Andy K Scott):
What we think we need
What they believe we need
What we think we see
What they believe we see
It's been a long, long road
And it keeps on going on
And the singer must sing his song
And fall behind the march to all the people.
REM..."King of Birds"

jefft (Jeff Tang):
I need to finish my thesis by 1/27/92. Possible? Maybe. I'm attempting to
write an extension to an x11r5 server that would allow the easy display of
anti-aliased (a.k.a fuzzy, or greyscale) fonts.
Step 1. Get a handle on the x11r5 font loading and display code.
Step 2. Figure out the right way of doing an extension.
Step 3. Hey, I'm still working on 1 and 2.

therese (Therese):
I sit, by myself, among friends
reaching out to touch those beyond my feeble reach
spending time caring for people...
whom I may never meet
Sharing a myriad of emotions...
As ephemeral as those I share them with
Hearing sighs and laughter with no voices...
feeling warmth in hugs that have no arms...
seeing smiles on imaginary faces
distance shrinks, and for a brief moment...
we are one as friends...
more than friends...
family..

When I was in the Navy 15 years ago, I was stationed at a Naval Air
Station, in the electronics maintenance division. Our shop had a PA
system with an FM receiver for "piped-in" music. Only problem was
that the old Chiefs in the shop kept the receiver tuned to the local
elevator music station. Drove us younger folks crazy! A colleague
and I decided to remedy the problem. We connected an FM receiver to
the input of a HP RF signal generator, and modulated the RF with the
audio output from the receiver.
We'd tune our receiver to the local rock station, and tune the sig
gen to the frequency of the easy-listening station. A piece of wire
about 3 meters long attached to the sig gen made a dandy antenna, and
VIOLA! instant rock'n`roll! If someone tried to tune the receiver to
a different station, we`d follow them up and down the band with the
sig gen, so that they got the same station no matter where they tuned
their receiver!
Maybe the reverse of this strategy would work for those with noisy
metalhead neighbors. "Say Slash! How come yer radio only picks up
this classical stuff??!!!"
