Day: December 23, 2003

An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida, his wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.

When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email,

Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address, he did his best to type it from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before.

When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint, at the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen…..

DEAREST WIFE…
JUST GOT CHECKED IN…
EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW…

P.S.
SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE.

Apoptygma Berzerk / LNDP3 is awesome at about 2:30 into the song, the arpegiator kicks in and on a good set of headphones (read sennheiser) it actually hurts your ears, even at very low volume.

It is totally sweet.

I hold you in my arms… la la la
I hold you in my arms… la la la la
I hold you in my arms… la la

Did I post this here yet?

Name this perl/shell command:(or tell me what it does)

tr ‘[A-Za-z]’ ‘[N-ZA-Mn-za-m]’

Hint:

It is amazing what is touted as a feature in many win32 programs is actually a 1 liner in unix.

I just got my grades. I got a 3.9 in Graphics – which what about what I expected. I got a 3.4 in softcomputing. I deserved a 3.0 even if we was being extra extra nice. I probably should have got a 2.7 if we really wanted to be nice, and if he graded straight scale… *shudder*

Well, ok, maybe I’m not giving myself enough credit, our paper and presentation kicked major ass, and our project and presentation kicked even more ass, so I guess maybe a 3.1 would be fair, but 3.4 seems too high for how I did in that course.

Now I think all my courses are that way, and hence my M.S. is a farse.

Well, anyway, now that I know my grades, it is official. I am your…oops… I have a masters degree.
