Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

more corporate confusion
First there was Toys R Us and a PS3, now there’s AT&T and my refurbished phone purchase. I blogged just this morning about buying a refurbished Samsung Magnet to replace my dying Sony Ericsson Z750, but I had some hassle today when I checked the AT&T web site and saw that I could’ve gotten [...]
new phone on the way after mine snooped on me
I’ve had a few problems with my current phone, a Sony Ericsson Z750, over the past few months. It started when I would try to make a call and it wouldn’t ring, it just sat there silently displaying the text “Calling whoever…”. I would hang up, try again, and it would usually work. [...]
mad lib forms and backordered PS3
Devin just sent this to me via StumbleUpon: “Mad Libs” Style Form Increases Conversion 25-40%. I think those examples look totally neat and I want to try out a mad lib-style form or two on 3till7. Maybe the comments form and contact me form.
Also, it seems as though the left hand doesn’t [...]
merge sort, the eater of nodes
I’m so tickled to have completed an assignment for my Linux kernel class. The specification was as follows:
Modify the algorithm that allocates a file descriptor for the open() and socket() calls. Implement a per-process variable availableFileDescriptor whose value is always the number of the first available file descriptor. Make sure that when a process [...]
quick lesson in love and groceries
Do not let your boyfriend convince you that he just loooooves eggnog and that three one-quart cartons of it in its various incarnations (e.g., Silk Nog, Custard Nog, and old-fashioned eggnog) is just barely enough; that yes, he’ll definitely drink all of it before its expiration date; that goodness! he’ll most likely drink it all [...]
Korean at 6 AM
What on earth am I doing awake? That’s what I get for going to bed around 11: wake up once to get a drink of water, and then I can’t get back to sleep. So I’m in the kitchen eating some leftover Korean and surfing the Internet. Classes are going well. [...]
Jon, foot, mouth
Jon and I were just making some espresso in the kitchen and talking about one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is excellent when you go at dinnertime, but when you come around lunch, they must have different cooks or something because their food isn’t nearly as good. It’s still tasty, but [...]
handmade Carcassonne
I wanted to play Carcassonne with my family today and had remembered to bring home the Followers, scoreboard, point tiles, rules, and the River expansion tiles, but not the big bag of tiles that are the whole point of the game. Derr. Well, one can find all sorts of images of tiles online, [...]
silly string Christmas
Pfhew, the semester is over and I’ve been visiting family. I went to a reunion for my father’s side of the family today and there was a pretty hilarious time when one of my cousins passed out a present to all the little kids: about 15-20 cans of silly string. O God, [...]
