I broke the 4000 line mark on the code for the robot interface. Admittedly, almost a quarter of that is the ginormous hashing function to convert between string descriptions of keys and the SDL internal enumerated type. Another quarter of it is my XML configuration file parser, but considering that said parser effectively replaces a…

I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 last night with , , and others. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is definitely worth seeing. I’m actually cross-posting, because I’m lazy, so the thoughts on the movie that I’ve written up are already lurking over on the SCCS forums. Note that many of you Swatties who…

Unfortunately I didn’t catch the screenshot in time to catch Bruce dancing a jig in front of the robot, but I can assure you that that is exactly what he was doing. In case you’re wondering why I’m victorious, it’s because this morning I successfully got two different visualizers (in this case, Small Grey Image…

Last night, Jon Stewart was totally on target. I think it’s really cool that, because he’s on what’s advertised as a comedy news show, he can actually speak his mind, and doesn’t have to worry about deviating from some expected viewpoint. The first great moment was in the news section: ::video clip of Cheney denying…

Got egged by ville rats on our way home from a party at Gabe’s (the apartment above the laundromat). First pass: saved by bus shelter at Rutgers and Chester. Second pass: miss, fired between Fritz and me. Third pass: hit Luke, I got some spray on my right forearm and my purple CS t-shirt. I…

I just made a version of this recipe, a sort of tex-mex stew with tortillas. I used more fresh veggies, and add a lot more spice than in the recipe. Yale House as a whole is a big fan of the spicy. Anyway, it was nummy, and Rafa (who can actually cook real Mexican food)…

As I’ve already announced over in the community, the SCCS has just set up a new swarthmore online forum. Anyone with a swarthmore.edu e-mail address (SCCS, CS, SwatMail, even Alum…) can sign up to use the forums. I did all of the SCCS-ified logos for the various bulletin board themes. When you sign up for…

Dan says: “Do you guys want to go to Panera?” What Dan heard from me: “I need to go somewhere with a fancy ketchup machine!” (hilarity ensues) What I actually said: “I need to go somewhere with a PNC cash machine!”

The cereal boxes in your room feel soggy. However, the thunderstorm last night was spectacular; lots of cloud-to-cloud lightning near the base of clouds, so it was very bright and visible.
