disambiguate this, bizzach!!
Aug. 19th, 2004 05:26 am- It takes a really long time to do something that you don't know how to do.
- I'm not going to be around this weekend; did I mention that? I'm headed out to visit family and hit my cousin Bernard's Bar Mitzvah; I'll be back... Sunday, I think.
- If I'm ever going to do anything interesting with this whole "research" thing, I'm going to have to get a lot more independent... but it feels like sometimes, you need a little hand-holding and attention when you're becoming independent. I'm still up, for example, because I'm putting together my research proposal so I can sign up for cs3901 (Senior Research), so I can graduate... and I'd had no idea what to do, for this, the main issue being that Ashwin had been gone most of the summer, and things were getting kinda weird and disconnected, and I haven't known what to do for a while... but tonight, I've been looking around and finding research papers (which I really should've been doing for a while, but I hadn't known where to look to find the right ones) and getting a better idea of what I actually want to do this semester. It's kind of important... sort of a dissertation for a BS, if you will. So in less than three hours, I'll be over to the CoC to turn this thing in, and everything will be, at least momentarily, Squared Away...
- The eMac is set up, and it's lovely. It turned out that his name was celeborn (I'd thought it would be female and melian, but that wasn't the case), and the KVM is all set up and adapting like I thought it would. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do about mice and keyboards, really. It's sort of a hassle to switch back and forth with the KVM, but the M is so much nicer than the Mac keyboard that came with the dad-blammed thing, and it's better just to have one keyboard on the desk... OS X is really really nice, though. I approve. The whole point of everything is that I've been using a Macintosh made in 2004 by means of an IBM keyboard made in 1984. This pleases me greatly. Industrial might and force-feedback computing!! The program you want, if you're going to plug peecee-style keyboards into a Mac, is ucontrol. Mad props out to the gnufoo.org guys :)
- Technical writing is looking medium-upsetting, but the other classes are going to be full of awesome... I mean, the first Linguistics reading was essentially an extended debunking of myths perpetuated by English teachers and the Language Establishment.
- Replace this sentence with a pithy comment that I might use to close an entry in a concise, clever, and meaningful fashion.
