cfields (Craig Fields):
"But it doesn't compile.", they complained.
As if programming was about adhering to their primitive
language definitions. As if it was my duty to live within the
limits of their antiquated and ordinary compilers.

ckclark (Calvin Clark):
The form of the habit she had become still drove him to one side
of the bed. Despite his need for room to throw out arms, legs in a
figure-4, crosswise angled body, he still slept on only one side of the
big double bed. The force of memory of her body there, lying huddled on
the inside, together cuddled body-into-body, a pair of question marks,
whatever arrangement it might have been from night to night---still, her
*there*. Now, only the memory of her warmth beside him kept him
prisoner on his half. And reduced to memories and physical need for
sleep, he retired to that slab of torture as seldom as possible.
Staying awake till tiny hours, doing meaningless things, laughing at
laughers, cleaning house for himself with methodical surgical tidiness
till the pathology of it made him gibber and caper and shriek within his
skull and soul, seeing movies that wandered aimlessly, hearing the
vapors of night and time and existence passing by without purpose or
validity. Until finally, crushed by the weight of hours and decaying
bodily functions, desperately needing recharge, he collapsed into the
bed that he loathed.
To sleep on one side only.
To dream his dreams of brutality and fear.
-from ``Lonelyache,'' by Harlan Ellison

I will be working at NIST for the summer (now till August 31). For
now, the above address and phone number will be the best ways to reach
me. However, though I personally do not have an email account at NIST,
I do have access to Internet through a friend's account and will check
my email periodically.
