feeling healthier -- but feeling very stressed too...
home hacking:
Got my SLIP link auto-starting, so my apartment is on the net
full-time now...
Both Suns (3/50 and 4/65) work now (yaay!) and are getting packets
routed over that SLIP link...
I've got a UPS running all of the computational hardware...
Now maybe I can get something *done* with all of these toys :-)
work:
Embedded Systems Conference this week at the Hynes.
Stamping out Imake in our lifetimes. (or at least in krb5,
hopefully by the weekend...)
quotes:
"You, as an OSF member, are specially invited to
participate in an exciting new program that would enable
you to add OSF expertise to your internal staff."

I went biking, and it was good... now to keep it up...

The cut was deep, the blood was warm
I can't deny what it's done
If we don't release the past, we'll slap the face
Of the days to come

@SONG: Yesterday Girl
I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want an easy answer
I've got nothing to say
So please don't bother talking to me
I'll just disappoint you
Because I'm quite content to sit right here
With nothing to do
CHORUS
Well I'm not the same guy that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had some place to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
I never wanna find an answer 'cause
I don't like the truth
And if I find just what I'm looking for
I've something to lose
So please don't go and ask me questions
I just won't feel the same
And when I think about religion
Well, there's no one to blame
CHORUS

sgw (stephen g. wadlow):
All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on,
tell me all that you know, I'll show you
snow and rain.
If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin' by,
Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark,
fly through the night.
Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.
All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew off,
tell me all that you know, I'll show you
snow and rain.
Bird Song
by the Grateful Dead

therese (Therese):
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind.
Her voice could match the angels' in it's glory.
But she was blind. The lark was blind.
The king of the rivers took her to his palace
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice
And he prayed...
Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
And cloth of brocade and crewel
And I'll love you for life, if you will
Sing for me...
Then one day, as the lark sang by the water
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
The gift of sight. He gave her sight.
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
Come along...
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
We will dance on the coral beaches
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches,
Fly with me...
But the meadowlark said no
For the old king loved her so
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
So the sungod flew away
And when the king came down that day
He found his meadowlark had died...
Every time I heard that part, I cried...

OS/2 offers 'Neko', a program that sends a skittish kitten chasing after the
mouse cursor. As desktop computers become more powerful, users will have more
clock cycles available for such distractions. We offer the following vision
of what may be to come:
Neko for Windows NT: A stick-figure Bill Gates ambles after the mouse. If
he passes a window he stops to point out the interesting features and
makes promises as to what future versions will offer.
Neko for OS/2 version 2.2: An elephant appears, and runs away from the mouse
in terror. When it runs into a window, it knocks itself unconscious.
Neko for Taligent: As for OS/2 2.2, but the elephant is coloured pink.
Neko for Apple Power-PC: 'Phil', Apple's bow-tied 'agent', runs after the
mouse with a mousetrap. If he runs into a window he drops the
mousetrap onto his foot and jumps around the screen howling in pain.
And finally, Neko for SGI Indy: A fully rendered velociraptor stomps after
the mouse. If it runs into a window, it tears it apart and eats it.
