Dude… maybe now they will institute a non-drinking section in the stadium. Now that they can admit that people drink there. You have to love compus politics. Or something like that.
And in unrelated news, it is now legal to drink and or posses hard alcohol on campus… but beer is still illegal on most of campus. Go figure. The dean said they changed the policy to “reflect the action on campus.” Heh. If a bunch of people go around killing students at random, will they make that legal, too? I mean, since we’re changing the standards to fit the lowest common denominator. We might as well.
Hell, why do we have rules anyway? People are just going to break them. If enough people break them, we’ll have to change the rule, and that’s just way to much trouble. We should abolish rules. And rulers. And protractors, dadgum it. I hate protractors.
Took a handwriting test… look at this:
Dorinne seems to have a fear of looking bad or of crossing boundries. It will be easy to work with Dorinne on a team, because Dorinne will usually follow the rules. However, this desire to respect the boundries can often be construed as a lack of confidence and people will walk over Dorinne if she is not careful.
Dorinne is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
Dorinne tends to write a bit smaller than the average person. When a person’s letters are small and tiny, this indicates an ability to focus and concentrate. This character trait is a huge asset in careers like math, science, race car driving, and flying planes. However, if Dorinne writes tiny all of the time, she will also display characteristics of someone who is socially introverted. Dorinne will often sit on the sideline and watch others get the attention at parties. she might be willing to open up and be warm, but only in small groups or a select group of people. When she is busy working on a project, it is common for all other noises and distractions to just fade away and her ability to focus is incredible. When she says she didn’t hear you… really, she didn’t hear you.
I guess those are the most important parts of what it said… interesting, anyway.
Blah.
Apparently, my body has decided that we cannot survive on less than like, 12 hours of sleep a night. Which is annoying, not to mention impossible to maintain.
And MySQL is giving me fits. Says I can’t login as root, or set up an anonymous account, even after I’ve reinstalled it a million times. So I downloaded the other installer… or, am trying to download, I guess. For some reason, my super spiffy business class line… is only supporting 1KB down at the moment. Weird.
I’m sorry. I forgot that friends are only supposed to say nice things that don’t piss you off or hurt your feelings. Stupid me, I thought that pat of being a friend might possibly be voicing concerns and worries, and I don’t know, possibly trying to figure out why you make the decisions that you do.
But then, I regularly ditch my friends to do homework. What do I know.
Dude… they are drilling holes in the second floor of Butler today. It’s loud. And all my classes are on the first floor. Apparently right below where they are drilling. Which is annoying, because it’s freakin loud. But funny, beacuse I have visions of a worker dude drilling right through the ceiling and falling into the classroom…. which would be a very entertaining. Very. Entertaining.
Oh well.
Cool Robot article on NASAexplores this week.
Ha. If you’re ever looking for a good article on why user interfaces don’t necessarily make or break a project… try an article called “Heckel’s law: conclusions from the user interface design of a music appliance — the bassoon.” It was published in Personal & Ubiquitous Computing (Jul2004, p208). If you can’t find it, e-mail me and I send you a pdf copy (I’d post it, but it’s not online… copyright laws and all that). A must read if you ever even thought about playing a woodwind instrument. Really.
