Installed GTK+ 1.3.12. I might port ithought over to it.

I checked out Simply Scheme from the library. I think I'm finally beginning to get the ideas behind functional programming. Maybe.

"Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. Trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid."

Anyway, he's confessed to sleeping with Jill. So now, not only has he cheated on his fiancee, but also his mistress... how ironic.

I love sweater weather. I find a woman in a sweater nearly as sexy - maybe even more sexy - than in a bikini. Don't ask me why, I don't know. (Too bad "sweater weather" lasts all of three days here in Florida...)

ESR's essay, "Avoiding the Curse of Oversensitivity", helped me change my outlook on life quite a bit. (Which is saddest? The fact that I've read a series of essays called "Sex Tips for Geeks", that I can type the address from memory, or that I'm taking romantic advice from ESR?) Anyway, I was always afraid to take a chance talking to some of these beautiful women that seem to come flocking to this school every day. Now, I've begun to take more chances. I'm still afraid of looking like a weirdo, but I have to play if I want to win, right?

I told myself I would wait until Woody came out to install Linux on my new box. However, that was under the assumption that I would be on my slow-ass dialup the whole time. If I get DSL, I'll dist- upgrade immediately.

VNC is OK, and I've played with X-Win32 (trial version). I might buy that, or maybe I'll dick around with getting XFree for Windows installed.

My hair's still at that stage where it's too long to neglect and too short to really do anything with (about 4 inches (10 cm)). I don't want to cut too much off, because I'd like to end up with long hair, but it's just too damn unruly.

I noticed something recently. People who are very overweight, such as myself, tend to be very androgynous in appearance. I don't think I look feminine, per se, but I don't really look very masculine. I look more like a child.

For years and years I didn't care about my appearance. I never had much social interaction, and I figured, why bother doing something if it'll never have any effect? But then I came down here and started interacting with people. Now I realize what I was missing all those years, and some of the mistakes I had made.

Most people learn their social skills in school... I spent my time dodging bullies and trying to eke out what little knowledge the school offered me. By the way, is there a support group for oversensitive geeks with no social skills?

Only one slip since I (re)started; I had a Cuban sandwich (turkey/ham, with cheese, buttered and grilled) and fries. (In my defense, it was a long day, and the cafeteria didn't have anything healthy.) Other than that, it's been Subway and lots of rice and beans.

I wish I could give you guys a specific number, but I haven't weighed myself recently.

When will people learn that "Do not install software on these computers" does not mean, "If you install software, remember to remove it"?

Most of the computers in this lab are screwed up because AOL Instant Messenger breaks another app in here. The funny part is that there's a Java version available, and people install the Winblows client anyway.
