  • Good Old Days

    A night of reminiscing with Breckies. Zeb (aka Zebulonatron, Furious Z, The Golden Fro, Z-Dog, The Fury, Z!, Z Factorial, et al.) had some extra tickets to the Twins game tonight, so Gus and I tagged along with the Thomas family. Sometimes I forget that, in addition to knowing Zeb since 2nd grade and Gus…

  • Job Offer

    I got an official job offer today from BBN Technologies for a position as an Associate Engineer! WAHOO! The paperwork won’t show up until tomorrow, but I’m pretty excited. The benefits package, particularly the full ride to grad school, is good, plus they’ll help me relocate to Boston. Speaking of which, do you know of…

  • SCCS Update

    For those of you who read my LJ and have SCCS accounts, but did not see the MOTD over the last few days: The SCCS is upgrading our servers to the latest version of Debian this weekend, aka Sarge. All of the major Debian versions are codenamed after characters from Pixar’s Toy Story. For those…

    Today I was told that I will be getting a job offer by the end of the week. This is, understandably, a happy. I think they did it this way to make sure that I was still interested, so that they wouldn’t waste their time prepping an offer that I wouldn’t consider taking.

  • Star Wards Episode VI: Return of the Freaky

    My sister is home! Jo is back from her semester abroad in China, with many souvenirs and photos. She hasn’t given us the slide show yet, but her e-mail updates over the course of the semester certainly made it sound like an amazing experience. It’s always fun to realize how much we have in common…

  • closet.push(box.pop())

    Unpacking. It’s about the only remotely productive thing I’ve achieved in the last week. I’ve pretty much been living in my parents’ basement. Yesterday I played with the knapsack problem using my closet shelving. I found that most of my items would fit on the shelf, but not through the opening under the lip of…

  • Indulging My Inner Middle Schooler

    If we ignore the fact that I’ve gradumutated, the past week has involved a lot of activities that evoked my pastimes in 7th and 8th grade. Last Monday, ran a Magic: The Gathering draft game. It was a lot of fun, but I was reminded why I got rid of all of my Magic cards…
