Dual Processors Melting
Meredith and I got together to do some work on the Plumbing company’s network, but they didn’t have the software ready.

So Meredith what do you want to do tonight? Hey! Lets see if we can make dual processors work. We hijacked a couple old Pentium 160MHz CPUs from MK’s junk box and dropped them in the SMP board. Ouch!! those things get hot!. After a quick run to CompUSA Meredith spliced our brand new cooling devices into the power supply and placed one on each CPU. Red Hat Linux can do it…come on…come on… IT WORKS!!!

Ok, so the kernel panic’s occaisonally and its not exactly a supercomputer but it gives decent computing power but i still have the CPU’s underclocked @ 133MHz. Thanks for your help Meredith.

“We could not save everyone. Forgive us.” — Vladimir Putin after Chechen rebels killed 90 hostages. Update 10-28: It was later discovered that the gas used to knock out the terrorists killed the hostages. Russia has been critized for such. But I think it was the safest method overall. If the gas was not used everyone would have been killed. The fact that 600 were not killed is astounding.

In the Computer Science department many students go over their quota on the lab computers and ignore warnings. Ken (my boss) deletes their files at random which results in the following situation…

Angry Student: “Why you delete my files?”

Ken: “I don’t like you.”

surreal unconciousness
my last coherent thought was, what am i…i have to find out what i am…its important. i should be doing something important to save my life..who am i? there’s a bunch of white dots..i must be a white dot..what am i supposed to be doing? i started to panic (it was scary for a white speck) then everything went black. 

The thought before that was think, i got to think about what i’m thinking… ….oh …what was i thinking? i lost it! what was i thinking? what am i?

Bachelor’s life: Cooking

So i cooked myself a hamburger….and just in time.
