jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
See that piece of land over there? It used to be a lake, but one November
a big flock of ducks came and landed on it. The temperature of the water
dropped so fast that the whole lake froze. When the ducks flew away, they
took the lake with them. They say that the lake is now somewhere in Georgia.
(paraphrased from _Fried Green Tomatoes_)

I am back at MIT

Csh for the users doomed to give in
Sed for the programmers looking in /bin
Awk for the hackers who make users cower
Perl for the wizards who hold the true power
One Kluge to rule them, One Kluge to find them
One Kluge to bring them and in the dark bind them
In the land of *NIX where the shadows lie

scottbs (Scott B Stephenson):
Hi Everyone!
Well, here I am at MIT, part of the glory of geekdom at last! If you
need to reach me by conventional mail, I'm at:
150 Huntington Ave #NH11
Boston, MA 02115-4830
PH#: (617) 262-5167 Home
(617) 253-3752 Office
My home number has an answering machine, so you can leave a message there
if you wish.
I am working at MIT's Man-Vehicle Lab, which primarily studies the
effects of the zero-g environment on the human body. What it all boils
down to is "we make people sick for fun!" and then study why they got
sick. Sound like something you'd like to do? Then come join MVL.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Scott Stephenson

therese (Therese):
A waking world of innocence
So grave those first born cries
When life beings with needles and pins
It ends with swords and knives
... God save those born to die
