despite all the cahos and corruption, our system is truely fascinating. here’s a cool article and lots which link from it.

last night, while writing my final report for my UW class i was having trouble justifying a technique that me and Rob used for timing. essentially, we determined emperically through some guess work and although Rob claimed that it sounded perfect, i was having a hard time stating that. so i went into UW and implemented a timing method using the chip’s built-in timer, which is the way to go. high on my success, i came home.

latestly i’ve been daydraeming of playing the guitar. perhaps it is because i’ve been listening to Johnny Cash or perhaps i just like the idea of sitting on the couch and strumming an instrument, rather then sitting on a bench. i’m really torn because i haven’t put my time into learning the piano lately and i’m not sure whether the guitar fantasies are an escape or a genuine desire. all i do know is that music really moves me and i will find a way to express myself with it.

no successes to report so far. i’ve got a busy weekend. my final project report is due, which probably involves some modification to the final project to make sure i get maximum points. i also have to put time in to work, because i’m losing sleep since my project isn’t finished.

i just received an email from an upset webmaster who recevied a forged virus-filled email which looked as if it came from me. this stuff is really unfortunate. not only are these spammers costing me money as a percentage of bandwidth, wasting my time (which is money) – now they are soiling my name. my mail server currently has 89 requests, which are all bounces for bogus addresses. i’m very annoyed.
