post-math dreams...
Feb. 6th, 2004 02:56 pmI took a nap after combinatorics...
And I dreamed...
At one point, my machine had been r00ted, and I couldn't log in, because the blackhats had messed with /etc/passwd (maybe renamed it, as well) and changed my username by rotating the characters in it and inserting a 'c' somewheres... and I couldn't trust the computer anymore, but I was trying to figure out what was going on with it... and Tim was trying to help, and I was thinking, "eh, now I'm going to have to reinstall everything..." ... and then all the text on the screen bled away, and these was this really cool sparse-multicoloured-on-black design that had text and like this starscape-ish pattern, and it was telling us that the machine was now part of a DDOS attack, and it would be put back after the 13th... so I growled, unplugged it, and pulled out a Gentoo disk. But it was hard to find the right plug to unplug, and I unplugged a lot of things...
And I was sitting in a place that's very much like the corner of Ferst and Atlantic, with the stone walls and the whole "sitting on the corner" sort of feel to it (although I never looked at the street)... and I was hanging around there, and... eh, I don't remember. Soemthing about muppets. And trying to get to AI, which I should do momentarily.
Oh, and there was Will Clarke, for a bit, and he was in our kitchen, and I had a flashback to a scene (I think because I was telling him this story) where I was swimming in a shallow pool, and there was a muppet-ish manatee (or possibly somebody wearing a fursuit? ... it wasn't threatening or un-human, but it was still a manatee), probably a deep purple colour, and flatter than they are in real life, and knowably female, because she either had a bow on her head or long eyelashes or probably both, and she swam up along the bottom of the pool and was playfully munching my hand.
This may mean that I'm now over the irrational manatee fear, perheps...
Okay, off to visit Ashok. Peace out :)
