May. 29th, 2003 10:49 pmIt's stupid... but it's upsetting.
The world is full of really attractive young women, and the really attractive young woman I love is on another continent, off in Switzerland. :-\ Hope she's having fun... Esther, the world awaits a L'Abri entry -- what's it like over there? :)
(Thoughts like this pop up especially often while I'm at the gym at FSU. Yowza.)
Tonight I'm working on the next Linux Kernel Class assignment, due on Monday... it's an interesting project, this time -- we've got these little circuit boards with a display that's like the "8" on a calculator, you know, so you can display all the different numbers and approximate leters with it... and we're making a device driver for this thing, so you can plug it into a parallel port and display messages on it, one character at a time, with a variable delay that you can set with an ioctl, or maybe through a /proc entry or something. It's a small class, and Dr. Baker is really cool, so it's pretty open-ended :) The only issue is that I'm not sure my little display thing works... maybe my parallel cables are busted. Whatever the issue is, I haven't been able to make it do anything, yet...
Hrmph. I'll test it in the lab tomorrow... maybe it's just my parallel cables.
Today was Legs Day at the gym, and I'm sore again. Very exciting. Tomorrow may well be a track workout day, as the weight training class doesn't meet on Fridays. I should do more track workouts and Get Fast, as well as Getting Strong and working endurance. Nothin' like a good speed workout to work speed.
People are strange. Either everybody has horrible misconceptions about everybody else, or perhaps everyone really is as Wrong as the people who don't like them think they are. Damnable hippie liberals! Damnable fascist conservatives! Damnable hypocrite Christians and arrogant secular humanists! ... and so on, and so forth.
Tempura batter apparently has fish in it. While I hadn't been into vegetable tempura (seems kinda greasy), now that I know, I'll steer clear of that.
(music note: "Moonlight Lover" was originally a Joya Landis track, but The Usuals do a pretty good job at it ... theirs is more dub-reggae-ish than the original, if you're into that sort of thing, although the vocals are ... sort of halfway between really pretty and amusing. The Usuals are a semi-obscure ska band from Gainesville, who haven't updated their website in a few years, apparently -- I snagged their disc some number of years ago, back in highschool, when we had our little ska band "A Few Large Men" and we had gone to the now-transmuted Cow Haus to see King Django, for whom the Usuals and some other band that wasn't nearly as fun were opening... memories...)
Blah. Mostly I just miss Esther and wish my little LED doohickey would work.
