alindsay (Adam Taro Lindsay):
That is the way it is because it is that way
It is that way in that it is the way it is
In the way that it is that way that is the way it is
In the way that that is the way that is the way it is that is it is the way
Or, that it is that way is the way it is
The way it is that is the way it is
In that it is the way that it is is because it is that way
Or that it is the way that it is is the way that it is that
That is the way that it is the way that it is is the way that it is that way
I may not have enough of me but I've had enough of you

eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
life:
Went to a beautiful wedding. Now to relax and at the same time
get lots of hard (and/or tedious) work done without getting
too distracted.
play:
Negligible. (Well, I've at least got my laptop back and working
again, that's something...)
work:
Moving to new office space in Davis Square -- 30 seconds from the
T, 90 seconds from my apartment... maybe this will help
me get in on time :-)

sorokin (Jessie Stickgold-Sarah):
If you wke up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Don't you look back
Don't you look back

svalente (Salvatore Valente):
Summer has just started, and people are all ready getting weird on me.
To these people (you know who you are): stop being weird.
Ok, since it seems to be all the rage these days, I'm going to put my
long-term plan in my .plan file.
Here it is:
My goal in life is to find something that makes me happy: some
occupation, or some hobby, or some special person, or whatever that
special thing is that will make me happy; and destroy it.
There, now you know.
Have a nice day.
-Sal.

yandros (Chad Phillip Brown):
Hmm. What am I doing? Good question.
I'm working on The Judge, this network server thing for DCNS. I've
slipped past my deadline for delivery; getting SEGV's in malloc()
and spurious fopen() failures. Soon, though. Very soon.
I'm going to be doing bugfixes (probably with special attention to
OLC) this summer, also for DCNS. (Goal: the end of `No such
question' in our lifetimes.) (Secondary goal: figure out how to set
and meet deadlines. Need more practice, still. :-/)
I'm working on a couple projects with the company a friend and I
formed; VaporWare Associates. I'm going to do at least one of them
this summer. (yeah, shipping working code is against company
policy, but I can elect myself for whatever office I want, so I can
suspend that policy when the time comes.)
I'm going to be working on some cool stuff that I think should be
out there in people's hands. More later, hopefully.
SIPB: I've spent about a month on temporary retirement. What does
that mean? I've recieved very little SIPB mail (roughly an order of
magnitude less mail a day), I don't deal with any
bugs/problems/emergencies that I didn't feel like fixing, I make
`informed suggestions' rather than blanket statements, and I spend
less time in the office. I think I'll unretitre now, though. What
does that mean? I'll start wearing my Sigma Pi Beta shirt again.
The rest, well, we'll see.
Patrol: We Use Nuclear Weapons!!! (if you don't understand that,
don't worry.) (Hmm. On second thought, go ahead and worry.)
Ultimate, or as I've been saying it ``Fwiday Fwizzbee Fun'', every
week in Killian Court from ~5:30pm until it's too dark or we're too
tired or both. Last week's game was about 2.5 hours (Yay!) Should
start playing on another day, too (like after the SIPB meeting on
Monday nights and one other day; mail me with suggestions)
AAC. A local brand of `get out and do stuff' group. Look for more
clutter in your mailbox about this.
Reading: I started reading again. Some good stuff, some junk
Sci-Fi, some better stuff to come. But no book reports. :-)
Television. I live somewhere with a TV now. It's sorta scary how
persistent the TV reflexes are. On the other hand, I recently spent
a while thinking through the mappings between prime-time TV and
Athena. Less well packaged, more interactive, but basically the
same idea.
I've been writing down some of my poetry lately, to keep from losing
it. (If I don't record it somewhere outside of `me' then I forget
it, almost always). I've always done it; little bits of rhyme or
verse or speed-flow, and usually it helps me to think about how I
think and feel, and usually it sounds really `trite', to borrow a
word, afterwards. That's why you probably won't see it. Sorry.
It's kinda depressing anyway. (Hey, I like Sylvia Plath; what can I
say?)
I've been thinking a lot, too (thus the poetry). Sitting and
thinking and walking around staring down; trusting my feet and my
nervous system to take me somewhere while I put my mind to other
things. Slow walks in the rain. Standing barefoot, in the wind.
Listening to life around me and change around me, remembering what
it's like to use senses other than vision for everything. Staring
into the sun (yeah, I think they tell you not to do that. I
remember clearly doing it when I was 4 years old, and I haven't
stopped since).
Trying to get my Leave of Absence paperwork done. Yeah, I was on
leave from about spring break until the end of the term (but not
including the summer). Hopefully, the paperwork will eventually
reflect that, instead of the 3 F's and one blank currently on my
grade report. Yay, paperwork.
Where are you, anyway?
It was mentioned by some people I know that no one knows where I
live now. I'm living at Random Hall over the summer. There, now
you know.
Why am I living at Random? Well, it's Jessie's fault; specifically,
her home page. Ask her to explain it to you (she can't, but ask her
anyway.)
Also, I've been known to spend a lot of time on-line for the past
little while (4 years or so). I've been spending a lot of time
outside, too, lately. I don't really miss Oklahoma, but I miss
living near forested mountains, and next to *real* lakes (I've seen
what they call lakes up here. Feh.) and beaches (I've been to a
popolar beach spot on Martha's Vineyard a couple times. The most
enjoyable part of swimming at the beach there was avoiding the
floating slime-things. Sheesh.). Much as I disliked the idea of
being a `farmer', I must say there are a lot of reasons to prefer
raising livestock (which I've done) to instance cow.
What's this `rain' thing?
Rain is an analogy to me, of course. It's a bit too complicated to
explain, and it's a bit embarassing to try, so I probably won't.
Rain doesn't explain itself; rain just is and happens and falls and
goes away and gathers up and climbs back into the sky to fall again,
and then it's rain again; it just is. See?
And the `Fool' thing?
Isn't that obvious?
And just where do you think you're going, young man?
I dunno. Been thinking about that a lot. I'm not sure what I want
to do `in life' or `for a living' or `in the future' or
`eventually'. Also not sure what I want to do *right* *now*, which
makes life more interesting. :-) Thinking of school, thinking of
school here (at MIT) and school in Oklahoma (where the education
isn't top-dollar but neither is the tuition), thinking of school in
other places. Thinking of Grad. School (yes, even with my GPA.
Wait, do I have a GPA?). Maybe Germany, or Australia. Maybe MIT
:-) Maybe not; maybe get a job and get a hold on things and get some
of them to let go their hold on me. Quoth Phil: ``Too many things
causing too many problems and not enough Love to go
'round... ... yes we live in the land of confusion..'' Maybe I'll
stay; I like it here, except when I don't. Maybe I'll not stay;
Maybe I'll take up WanderLust or WunderHar or WonderBra or whatever
the word is. I dunno.
