I really don't understand redrobin's most recent diary entry.

I certainly don't have a "sufficiently massive public rep.", nor do I know any other member, personally or impersonally.

In fact, I walked in off the street. Right now I'm certified, by people who(I hope) take the process seriously. That may change. The only reason I think I am certified is that I wrote something useful in my notes, and put entries in my diary. Samurai certainly hasn't showed up in the 'recent diary entries' list while I've been here. I think that a lot of the way to be accepted into this system is to participate in it. You can't just lurk and expect to gain Master status.

Just how do accounts get deleted on advogato? It there a limit to how long your account is active without you logging in?

It's always fun causing controversy...

Anyway, fixed the last known segfault in nodeos. One uninitialized pointer out of hundreds isn't too bad. Tried figuring out what @delete was doing. No luck yet.

Random thoughts:

1. There seem to be a lot of Canadians on this list. I like it.
2. It seems to be a common occurrence for people to lose their certification, when it doesn't look like much has changed. Is this because the people who certified them are no longer as trusted? Or is there a more complicated explanation?

It just struck me how much of an experiment this is. We're all volunteers in Advogato's(dammit, I keep typing Avogadro) petri dish. How much of what we say and do will contribute to future theories of group interaction, or network theory? How typical are we? Will this work on a larger scale?

I shouldn't try thinking early in the morning.

Well, I just uploaded the new version of nodeos. Yes, I'm trying to get someone to go visit, and maybe even give me feedback on it ;P

I implemented @delete late last night, it seems to create new edges at the same time as it is deleting a node. Wierd. I think it's finally time to stop adding things and just fix the bugs.

On a different note, I've started reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I'm quite impressed, and can't wait to get further into it.

Woohoo! I'm certified! Thanks Sej!
