dkk (David K Krikorian):

eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
travel:
Maybe to usenix, if some other people get their acts together...
hacking:
If you want to send me private email, pgp encrypt it and send it
to eichin@perdiem.cygnus.com (my laptop) or eichin@paycheck.cygnus.com
(my base machine at home.)
work:
Compiler release mostly dead and gone.
Kerberos release mostly on it's way.
Starting to look for my replacement, so I can do what I want to.
[No, I'm not leaving -- I'm switching over to full-time Kerberos
work. If you're interested in large-scale release testing, or in
porting gcc & tools to weird operating systems, or in hand-holding
customers who have problems with those tools, send me email, or
just send your resume to resumes@cygnus.com...]
quotes:
[it was said] with the wisdom invariable shewn by people who, not
being in love themselves, feel that a clever man ought to be unhappy
only about such persons as are worth his while; which is rather like
being astonished that anyone should condescend to die of cholera at
the bidding of so insignificant a creature as the common bacillus.
Mme. des Laumes, Swann in Love
_Swann's Way_, Marcel Proust
as translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff (1928)
play:
The living room proved big enough to entertain 3 guests, after moving
the Sun 3/50 out of the way (the "fiber to the home" people haven't
even begun to consider the social problems of "ethernet across the
floor"...)
And the X10 controller is up and running. Stage 1 of the 1000 ft^2
alarm clock underway :-)

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
"Men are like tea -- the real strength and goodness are not properly
drawn until they have been in hot water."
- Lillie Hitchcock Coit (1843-1929)
"Just presume I'm a paradox in an anomaly, and get on with your tea."
- from Doctor Who

Here's an excerpt from a news article on Romania's laws against homosexuality.
Not a topic I'd usually include, but I know a few CA readers will find it
interesting, annoying, or amusing.
``I cannot agree with the misuse of bodily organs that have
well-established functions,'' Dragomir Popescu, a senator from the
ruling party, said during one such debate last month. ``What about
all those Romanians who conquered the world using their organs
properly?'' demanded another senator, Gheorghe Dumitrascu.
What I want to know is when did Romania conquer "the world using their
organs properly?" My history classes must have skipped that chapter.

sgw (stephen g. wadlow):
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view, but it's not sane
It's not sane
I just want someone to say to me
"I'll always be there when you wake"
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
Escape, escape...
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view, you think that I'm insane
It's not sane, it's not sane
I just want someone to say to me
"I'll always be there when you wake"
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
I'll have it made
You know I'm really gonna, really gonna have it made
"No Rain"

therese (Therese):
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as it's child
