- The cast comes off on Wednesday. Soon, it's time for lots and lots of running and great strengthening-of-forearms-and-wrists...

- The man who taught my highschool chemistry and physics classes is up on charges for posession of child pornography. I'm not sure how I feel about this. It brings up interesting questions about societal taboos and how they come about... of course, it's hard to talk about at all, because you feel like bringing up the topic is going to make people think you support pedophilia -- which is, of course, taboo. For very good social-stability reasons, I imagine. *sighs* Poor Mr. Saunders. He never seemed like a very happy dude.

- But now, it's time for frantic coding! I'm a little disconcerted about this project that's due at midnight, eep! (that one system call that you need to do that thing that I'm doing? It's one thing on Linux, another on FreeBSD, and not-available-at-all on OSX. Go figure. But I think I've got a handle on it, I think. We'll see...)

Man its pretty weird about Mr. Saunders. I wasn't a big fan of his, but this really sucks for him and will probably ruin his life. Apparently this is the largest collection of child pornography ever processed by the Leon County Sheriffs Office.
He is being held in jail without bail.

Martin brought up an interesting point about this earlier: we can't imagine that anybody wants to like kids like that.

So there's either a life of super-duper-repression... or ostracism-and-jail. Unless you can hide it, I guess.

Oy vey.
