5/4/08 12:06 pm - Cluster

Over the summer last year, we lost our cluster. It was said that it was because it was not being used enough and that the class space was needed; fair reasons. However, we were using the space. Calling it our own. I'm sure they recognized this but saw it as a bad thing. We were calling the space our own and treating it as our personal space, often without regard for public use. In the end our precious cluster got Mac-ified.

We moved on to the last "large" linux cluster. However, we have not learned from our errors. The cluster is as noisy, messy, and rambunctious as ever. Today I walked into the cluster and saw it in the worst state I have ever seen. It is mostly clean now, except for the metal pins that someone was apparently ripping from some device that are scattered all over the floor.

The final message?
The cluster is not your personal space, do not treat it as such. There are people who actually try to work in here. They are the people that are keeping our last cluster from being taken away. Making the CCons angry does not help...

If you wish to keep this space please keep it clean. If you see others sullying our good cluster, help them see the light.

So there has been a thing about putting bacon in stuff recently, like chocolate.

Behold: BACON VODKA

One of the comments reads:

    Interesting - I’ve been working with bacon and alcohol for some time now, but have settled on bourbon
    as the ideal base. A nice maple-smoked, peppered bacon will do glorious things to a smoky, aged bourbon.
    Prep is much the same as for the vodka, although I’ve found two weeks is usually enough for the infusion.

    Shake it with ice, strain into a martini glass rimmed with hickory salt,add a dash of orange bitters, garnish
    with an orange peel and pearl onion, and, voila! - The Bacontini!

3/6/08 06:30 am - Writing

I write best between the hours of 6am and 10am.

It took me two hours last night to write a page and a half. I have written two more pages this morning in about 45 min and the writing is much better.

This seems to be the case with most of the papers I've written. I wrote my final two papers last semester early in the mornings during finals. They both got good marks, I am even presenting one at a conference later in March.

Why, oh why, do you do this to me brain...

       1 x buttsquid
       1 x pentapus (like an octopus but with 5 arms)
       1 x hedgepig

11/10/07 04:07 pm - *stretch*

Knitted brains! (relevant to my interests)

I've started crocheting again. My boy has never had a scarf...

Also there are something like 17 days of class left.
       3 microstructures lectures left. 2 lab sessions left. 1 report and 1exam left
       1 objects of value paper
       1 historical evidence and interpretation research paper left
       3 15-100 exams...

I made a bibliography for the research paper the other day that was about 3 pages long. That means that this weekend I need to read a lot.

Does anyone read Arabic or know someone who does? I need to translate a few pages from a book, maybe take 2 or so hours of your time. Tasty food can be provided.

Certain people continue to try and make my life difficult, but at this point I don't really care. They can be bitter queens if they want.

Can it be grad school yet?

I can't remember ever being this happy/content. I blame the boy.

10/29/07 10:54 pm - Shit

From my mom:

Well boys I have some bad news.  Madison has a tumor on her adrenal gland and it’s causing her to secrete steroids that have enlarged her liver 5 fold.  Her arthritis is VERY bad. She can hardly get up the stairs, one step at a time, very painful.  She’s on a n anti-inflammatory and pain pills.  She’s almost 12

I’m inclined not to operate,  It will be very expensive and it will only solve the tumor problem not the arthritis which she is sufferings form every day.

My feeling is to let the tumor go the way that it will go, try to keep her comfortable and the moment I feel she is not having the life she is entitled to, I will put her to sleep.

Do you guys have any other thoughts, sorry to have to deliver the bad news.  I’ve been crying for weeks about it.

Not in cruelty,
Not in wrath.
The reaper came today;
An angel visited this gray path,
And took the cube away.

9/14/07 05:27 pm - Showers

Once upon a time, in a far away land (the Middle East) there was this conflict between the Arab states and a lil area where they all intersected. In this area there was a very holy city and many Jews and Palestinians.

For a time it was good (or not as bad as it could be). Then there was this huge fucking war and a lot of Jews died. Many who escaped ran to this lil area. As the area got more populated there was a group of people so said that the Jews should have this area as their own country. There were a whole lot of Palestinians who then said “Fuck no! We are living here ktxhbai”. All of the Arab states in this region pretty much agreed with the Palestinian folk. But, one day the Jews said “I’m takin j00r land and calling it my own cause I live here now and it’s mine ok?”.

And well, the Arab states did not say “OK” back. Then there was a lil war and fighting and boom boom and AAAAAHHHHHHH. Then the big UN came in and said “STOP IT NOW YOU LIL SONS OF BITCHES!”. After a time there was an agreement made between the jews and the rest of the folk to stop fighting and lines were created of where there would be no fighting (AKA a fucking armistice). All of this was facilitated by this guy Ralph Bunche.

This lil tiff formed what we now know as the state of Israel. This guy Bunche won the Nobel Peace Prize for getting the countries to sign the armistice. It turns out that later it was just a big headache and was not all that great after all.

Also once upon a time in a far away land (I don’t know where the fuck where), there was the creation of the shower. The shower is a wonderful device that allows warm water to stream from the sky over you. This does several wonderful things. First it gets you clean. It also has this amazing property of making you feel a whole lot better when you are sick and stuffy with the nose and the dripping and the snot and gooey and pressure stuffs.

            It is my opinion that the creation of the shower has made a much larger impact to the overall peace and sanity of the world than that fuckin crappy armistice agreement. Therefore the dude who invented the shower should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

 

The End.

It's amazing what 1500 prisoners will do when motivated by constant beatings.

They become zombies! (and Michael Jackson)
 
Also, the "chick" is creepy.

Edit:

Just found them doing Sister Act too.....How they get them to dress as nuns I can not fathom.

Jumbo Hotdog?

What the hell is the Algorithm March?

6/16/07 09:43 pm - Tyler Update

I have not posted in a while and I am not seeing many of you for several months so I figured an update was in order.

Hokai, So. This summer I am working at a specialty stainless steel manufacturer called Allegheny Ludlum (pretty much a glorified steel mill). It is an interesting experience. I am definitely getting a big taste of the industry business side of things. I am doing a bit of material science work but I am also doing a bunch of optimization and leg work. I guess this is to expected if this is your first internship. I am not sure how much I like the idea of going into industry anymore. Everything is so money driven, especially at this place where they have a limited product line. It may be interesting working at one of the other plants where they make more specialty materials. That way I would be able to branch and explore what ever the hell I want. Even so, it is a fun experience and well worth the time and pay.

Life is grand. I just bought a bed today, it should arrive some time on Tuesday. This means I need to take apart the POS fold out couch.

Story time:

            So this house came with a few things already in it. It came with a full glass set, a few odds and ends in the
            basement, and a furnished third floor entertainment room. I am currently living in that third floor entertainment
            room. It seems that there was some remodeling done on the stairs to get to the third floor, this was apparently
            all done while the furniture was in the room. SOOO it seems that the couch in my room is too large to fit down
            the stairs and must be taken apart.

Social things are pretty good. I have not been seeing enough of people this summer though. If you guys want to hang out or come over and eat food I make, I am usually free after 5:30 or so. I have mostly been hanging out with pfriedma a lot, and he is a poo-head-stinky-face. I met a boy , it is good.

Upcoming events:
Vacation to Hawaii on the 27th – 5th
Visiting my dad and his girlfriend near boston on the 7th
The next Harry Potter movie comes out on the 11th
Birthday on the 18th (probably gonna do something on the 20th?)
The last Harry Potter book comes out on the 21st

I have been reading a few books by Murakami. I really like his writing, it paints a very interesting picture of modern Japan while telling a fucked up trippy story. My dad gave me a few books by Gene Wolfe, I may read those next.

What are others up to this summer?

5/11/07 07:05 pm - Crazy Ukrainian

Much love for Ukrainian drag queens.

Other news:
I am not feeling too well. I have had a fever since Thursday and this morning I passed out and hit my head hard on the floor. Good times...

My phase relations group won the Krivobok Brooks Metallography award. It's for displaying evidence of the art of metallography (pretty much being able to take pretty pictures of pretty samples). Which means....BUX!
