coupla notes!
- 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...)

Three notes, plus one
# Sucks.
Think I know how it goes. There was a teacher by the name of Nunnelee at my junior high school. Most students thought he was gay and made fun of him as they deemed appropriate (including joking allegations of sexual harrassment; what fine taste we have as fourteen-year-olds). A few years ago I heard a rumor that he had been arrested on sexual harrassment charges after a failed suicide attempt. Tried to remind folks that it was nothing but a rumor. Didn't really get a lot of success on that front, as you might imagine.
# Code, boy! Code like the mammal you are!
$ Did you know that it's now frowned on to follow a sentence with two spaces?

Ahem.
From your post, it seems like you may disagree with some of those particular societal taboos . . . would you mind elaborating?
It's weird, though. I don't know if you read about this - people putting up bait ads on craigslist, then posting the info people sent them (http://www.waxy.org/archive/2006/09/08/sex_bait.shtml) - but that was one of the things that unsettled me most about the whole exercise, whatever you think about the tactics. These are pictures of perfectly normal-looking guys, the kind of guys who would hold the door for you and join your gaming group, and they're talking about having quasi-legal, often explicitly adulterous sex with a total stranger.
Anyway, it's an icky situation all around.
(In any case, yay for casts coming off!)
