It happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to inform the public. They thought it was just a jest and applauded. He repeated his warning, they shouted even louder. So I think the world will come to an end amid general applause from all the wits, who believe that it is a joke. -- S. A. Kierkegaard (1813-1855) |

Kerne's right, the world of console-based AIM clients is a bit odd right now... lots of little ones with little user bases and all manner of peculiarities. The two major libraries seem to be developed by people just learning C, IIRC. Hard to say what's happening.

But that means I downloaded pretty much everything I wanted overnight, not even excepting big dumb things like enlightenment.

Of course, when I take out the 15 megs of the Gimp User Manual, it's only a few minutes download.

This is going beautifully... I think I'll be able to download most of what I want tonight.

Back at last! Well, not that my mother's computer is working yet, but at least I can check my email from Cassie's computer once or twice. Oh... the reason I vanished off the face of the earth a couple of days ago is that my mother's computer and my internet connection broke. I'm not ignoring anyone or anything. Oh, well, that and I spontaneously combusted.

Reading Greeek, by the Joint Association of Classical Teachers. Two volumes: Text and Grammar, Vocabulary, and Excercises. There's also an Independent Study Guide, with translations of the test passages and other handy things.

Argh! So I finally manage to get the ppp software over to my computer, and then I find that 1) I need to compile ppp support into the kernel, which means finding some way to get the kernel sources onto my laptop without internet access, and 2) The IBM Home and Away card modem can't seem to detect a dialtone from my mother's phone line.

The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision. Each tends to ascribe to the other side a consistency, forsight and coherence that its own experience belies. Of course, even two blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to speak of the room. -- Henry Kissinger |

The Revolution of 1876?
|
|
|

Du Bois's comments on Booker T. Washington bring to light a more general problem--if anything is to be done to help a race (or, indeed, any great group of people)--who are certainly oppressed as a group--it must be done on behalf of them as a group. And this requires great spokesmen who can speak on behalf of their entire race. But at the same time, no one can truly speak for an entire group, so in defending themselves against those who attack them, they will ever offer up a disunited and fractious crowd of speakers, while the attack, treating them as uniform, may be uniform and consistent within itself.

But can atheism recover from the initial jolt of coming into power? Can we recognize that Christian brotherhood, Christian forgiveness, Christian love, need never die even if Christianity as it is now known vanish from the world? For far worse and far more certain lies of the ancients would be worth preserving only to keep this vital spark of humanity.

For compression of ongoing time-indexed streams, change sampling rate according to frequency of change, interest level of details. For example, in temparature storage, normally only one sample an hour is necessary, but (1) that sample can be timestamped so that the approximate locations of temp. changes will be recorded, and (2) the rate can be arbitrarily increased to keep more precise record s of sudden changes. Compare just storing every change past an arbitrary threshhold. Also, audio streams, ambient noise need not be recorded unless it breaks from the typical previous noise.

If ever there were any phenomenon in out natural universe likely to make me believe in a jealous and vengeful god, in perverse fates, in all manner of sprites and gremlins who plot to trick and torture us every day of our lives, it is the way that computer problems never dare to show their faces in the presence of those who would be capable of repairing them.

I can't believe there's actually going to be someone arguing for creationism on campus. It's things like this that make me embarassed to be human.

Where does that seminar list keep disappearing to?

Memo to self--the appropriate routine is not: 1) Log on to do something 2) Forget to do it 3) Log off. |

It works at last!

Okay, I've met Bryan. Bryan meets with my approval. He seems a good sysadmin.

They have classes today? Like before seminar? That's disgusting!

This, you see, is clearly the wrong way to link. You can see where it goes. Not at all what's intended. I seem to have made that mistake some distance below, and in a link to an important site to reach. I will remedy it here: kvetch.

"No database could list all the facts we tacitly know, and no one ver taught them to us. You know that when Irving puts the dog in the car, it is no longer in the yard. When Edna goes to church, her head goes with her. If Doug is in the house, he must have gone in through some opening unless he was born there and never left. If Sheila is alive at 9 A.M. and is alive at 5 P.M., she was also alive at noon. Zebras in the wild never wear underwear. Opening a jar of a new brand of peanut butter will not vaporize the house. People never shove meat thermometers in their ears. A gerbil is smaller than Mt. Kilimanjaro." -- Steven Pinker, How the Mind Works

4:00 am. I have to be there. To be at the airport at 6. To be on the plane at 7:30. It's bad enough to have a flight before eight o'clock in the morning, without having to get up at three something.

And in the time zone where the bloglet dwells, it's friday already, so Happy Birthday!!!.

So there are two big web revalations for today. 1) The Webbies may actually be good for something. Namely, for helping me discover that: 2) There may actually still be good personal home pages being created out there, just like the old (?) days (way back in '96), specifically webby nominee and one-year-old personal site maganda.org, which from what I've seen so far is very pleasing.

Coming soon... Items, a collection of thoughts, words, phrases, memories, essays, and random stuff. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm finally entering the strange little world of online diary-keeping; though with the difference (I think) that my intellectual life somewhat overshadows my emotional life. Expect an
absence of touchy-feely stuff, but some good ideas.
