alexr_rwx- 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...)

Re: Three notes, plus one
Date: 2006-09-11 02:59 am (UTC)I was never a fan of that practice, the two-spaces thing! (where'd you hear about this?) Perhaps one day -- one day -- the world will come to the realization that I'm right about "quote marks as balanced delimiters around quoted text" as well! Everybody'll be like "hot damn, Alex sure was right". (closequote-period)
