abbe (Abbe J Cohen):
Studlier wheels that don't wobble.
Happily mounted to the splufty motors.
Happily mounted to a piece of masonite that's .5 cm smaller.
It drives straight. And well.
That's *both* wheels. :-)
Walls are fixed, and mounted to the base, a bit further forward.
Electrical connections happy.
Cardboard cut to shape and bent to fit around/within walls.
Polaroid motor geared to give enough torque.
The rolling piece is almost working well enough to put the cover on.
Except that the cover interferes with its rolling, and is now mounted
further away from the rolling piece.
The rolling piece has yet to close over the ball of its own accord.
It likes to move sometimes, though, and that's all it's going to do.
The Purple People-Eater lives.
Eyes, teeth, and all. :)
Harry West said it was very "aesthetically pleasing." :-)
Of course, this was before I painted it purple.

OLC logfile title of the week:
--- Title: using klingon postscript macintosh files on athena
This was from a real question. Honest.

sgw (stephen g. wadlow):
BOTH SIDES NOW
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow
it's cloud illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
as every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
- Joni Mitchell

sorokin (Jessie Stickgold-Sarah):
Afrekete Afrekete
ride me to the crossroads
where we shall sleep
coated in the woman's power.
The sound of our bodies meeting
is the prayer
of all strangers and sisters
that the discarded evils
abandoned at all crossroads
will not follow us
upon our journeys.
Audre Lorde
