New Purpose!

I had an idea yesterday... I'd been looking at my schedule for Fall, juggling classes around (at certain points during the day, I'd added and dropped Amy's Educational Technology class (CS4660), HPS1040, and CS Theory (3500)) ... and then ended up putting everything back exactly the same way things had been.

Anyway, my idea was that I shall make it my quest not to take the silly health requirement class here at Tech. I'm going to try to take something at FSU this summer such that I don't have to take HPS1040, because FSU has things like "Basic Weight Training" and "Aerobic Conditioning"... I checked, and these would fit in to my planned schedule pretty well. On this note, yesterday I put in my residency form to FSU, so they know that I am indeed an actual resident of F. Ooh, and I picked up photos that Esther and myself took, and we're adorable :) Maybe I'll post some links to those, if anybody wants to see us being adorable... you also might see some linkage on Esther's journal (eponis).

I agree completely :)

But I've gotta have a purpose in life, and this is that, I think :)

But first -- off to the Most Interesting CS Class!

These are a few of my favourite things...

Really Cool Things for the day include:

- Veggie Salami. I used to really enjoy salami, back when I was eating meat... and this "Yves Veggie Salami" (look for it in your grocer's meatless meat section!) does a really good job of capturing what's cool about salami ... with the goodness of Soy(tm)! Fat free, cholesterol free, soy protein, contains no random bovine or porcine organs... oh yeah :)

- RPC. Ken Mackenzie, who remains one of the funkiest individuals on the planet, was discussing this idea today. It's darn skippy -- instead of having a protocol going over a network have to send data as text (and then have the other end have to parse out the text), why not have a layer of abstraction where you can pretend like you're just making a procedure call on the sender machine and have the software figure it out? I haven't actually written anything that uses this yet, and RPC services (NFS and whatnot) are generally considered a big security issue... but the idea's so beautiful... maybe finals week, or once school's out, I'll play with this.

The more I learn about computing, the more my idea of "computer" breaks down... it really stops being about a computer, and starts being really abstract...

CS: It's not a Science, and it's not really about Computers!

Ah-ha! It worX0rs! :)
