Oh, I totally don't agree with the campaign. But, one of the only ways PETA gets any attention is through controversy (a good example), so I think that is a huge reason why campaigns such as these pass the approval committee. Any news is good news, right?

2001-03-30

louis, 19:00: #

for clarification purposes, i was bashing the campaign, not PETA in particular.

Cindy, 15:18: #

Feeling an obligation to defend PETA's campaign, but not wanting to support this particular campaign, here is some more information, not from an animal rights group, that is the basis and reason for any "no milk" campaign. If you want more information, please contact me. Dairy products are a controversial subject still, but personally being allergic to dairy and still pushed to have dairy products (I'm vegan), I'd like to give anyone who's interested facts on the other side of the spectrum that are both interesting and helpful in anyone's life.

conundrum - web theory

louis, 11:59: #

PETA was encouraging students to drink beer, not milk, because of beer's nutritional benefits. so all of those people i know who have 'beer guts' really have 'milk guts'?

when i see Fred's picture of a dog, i want to go find a dog and play with it for hours on end. [ he's got mad skills ]

louis, 04:21: #

so, tonight, i decided i'd stay up until i was satisfied that i had made a good chunk of progress on the AcadWeb and Tufts Nutrition work I have sitting around my various inboxes. i guess that's why i'm still up. i did accomplish quite a bit, however, including acquiring three new domain names [ to be unveiled shortly ], making large-scale updates and modifications to my résumé, and getting through about fifteen e-mail chores i had previously lined up. now, i must go sleep, so that i can make it to my 09:30 rehearsal awake and ready to bust out some mad bari action. in fact, that's the main thing that will inspire me to get up: i love playing bari.

louis, 02:18: #

i realized that i hadn't been going to the webteam office [ yes, that's my setup at work ] much, but the second i got there, i realized all that i had missed. man, i'm not sure how i can live here with but one computer and but one display, although it is a 15.2" ultra-wide LCD [ mmm... portable supercomputer ] when i've got four computers with seven displays at work.... [ drools. grins. ]
anyhoo, ken and lauren stopped by tonight - after ken got his new laptop unpacked, we went to search for coffee. not one coffee shop was open at 00:30. none! pissed was i when i discoverd that even the university coffee shop, supposedly open until 01:00, had just closed. fcukers.

louis, 01:16: #

everything looks wicked cool in my blue glasses. and my eyes don't hurt any more. i suppose that's a good thing.

me: it's a PowerBook G4. [ grins ]
the people sitting behind us: how much does it weigh?
me: five pounds. check it out. [ hands it to them ]
the people sitting behind us: wow. that's light. do you like it?
me: yes, quite a bit. it's very fast. [ spares them the details ]
the people sitting behind us: it's a mac. i like macs.
me: [ grins ] cool. me too.

Cindy: [ to me ] that's a dream true for you, isn't it?

ken, 23:18: #

my phone is freaking out, but just in one direction. so people are calling me, and i pick up, and say hello, but i can't hear anything. the other person can hear me, though, so i've taken to just reciting an apology, and my cell phone number. so, um, if you call me and i don't appear to pay attention to you, that's why. sorry.

louis, 22:42: #

ok, so the number of photos quickly became twenty-two. sorry for the huge size of the photo index page. i need to just created an archive page [ which i will do some time this week ] and still make the whole thing database-driven, which aryn has been mocking me about. [ seventy-seven photos is a bit much to run by hand-coding ] anyhoo, here are the new ones:

ken, 17:10: #

finally made it back from beautiful sunny florida. consequently, i can now start putting up my triplog, one day at a time.
now, can someone tell me why it's so cold here? it was definitely eighty degrees on key west. also let me know where the hell my money went. thanks.

i picked up a couple t-shirts to add to my geekwear. look for pictures of louis the übergeek in them soon.

Cindy, 15:45: #

Here I am at the Apple Store on the Apple campus, trying to catch Louis' drool while he walks, transfixed around the store. I think I'm gonna have to leave him here for a couple days, so he can get his fill of the place. Gotta go dissuade him from buying another computer. More later.

i just realized that i'll be back in California for dmb concerts on May 18, 19 and 22.

so i went to bates to see barbara. after jotting down some instructions from Bates's website, i headed off in my dad's Cabrio. it was so pretty outside! i got in a groove of driving about eighty on ninety-three north. all of the sudden, i was amidst the beautiful white mountains. 'oh fcuk,' quoth i. 'i've gone the wrong way.' but it was such a beautiful wrong way to take, you see. i quickly pulled off at the next exit and explained to some dude that i was a masshole gone astray, and wondered what the easiest way to ninety-five was. he suggested i go an hour in the direction from whence i came.

as i passed over a bridge on my way back, i cursed myself for being somewhat concerned about time. the lake was so reflective [ similar example ], i just wanted to stop, get out of my car, descend the hill, and shoot some photos. but, alas, my quest southward continued. as i got to one-o-one, i headed eastbound for a while, enjoying a nice sunset on my way. oh, how hard life can be. in several minutes, i was on ninety-five, making 'good time' and i crossed into maine. the rest of the journey was straightforward as driving journies go. when i arrived at Bates, five hours after i had left Boston, i had gone through a tank of gas and ten bucks in tolls. thank you, New Hampshire, for making me pay so many tolls.

anyway, when i arrived at Bates, Barbara and i left for dinner at a Thai restaurant. after a nice dinner and chat, we headed back. when we arrived, Sarah [ not smarples ] and her brother, David, were doing shrooms. needless to say they were amusing for the rest of the evening. we went to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. wow.

the next morning, after waking in someone else's bed [ see below ], i ate with some Bates kids and then we went shopping. among the list of things to buy: a birthday present for Jessica. choice: b'loonies. and cake. the cake was crazy. even crazier, though, was that the layers separated whilst we drove back from the store, so we constucted a bit of structural support with sparklers and candles. the cake was consumed in conjunction with the requisite St. Patrick's Day Guinness and Killian's Irish Red. then we wandered hither, thither, and yon, from place to place to chill with people. we saw some guy singing raggae tunes. i saw two other people that i knew from 'home.' after some good 'ol chillin', i fell asleep. next morning, i was outta there before 08:15, in an attempt to get home early to make it to all of the things that i had set up for that day. as Murphy's Law would have it, everyone cancelled. so i was left to lead the hard life of chillin' around here. tomorrow, i leave for San Jose. spring break rules.

Wow....All State was really cool. Sometimes you have an experience that cannot be re-created. It was sort of like that. Rowell was amazing and everything we worked towards kind of came together for that peak performance. It was great to be a musician and teacher.

this morning i woke up in someone else's bed, unable to breathe. always an interesting sensation, it turns out that the bed had a down pillow and a down comforter [ both of which, of course, i am allergic to ]. fortunately, there was no one else in the bed.

now, however, is not the time to worry about allergies. it is time to party. word.

one of the main drawbacks to not having my camera is that i have to take pictures with an analog camera. but i like my nikon N660. the drawbacks include: wieght, awkwardness, and developing time. to get my photos online without a scanner, i have to get a "photo cd" and then manipualte / edit everything. the cd itself (with film developing) taked 3-5 days. so, pictures i took last week, that i was so excited about, are only getting online now. <groans>

aryn, 20:52: #

park wars is out. and it's amusing as hell. but there's controversy surrounding it, mainly because people think that it's a rip-off. either way, check it out. also... the movie is akamaized (where i work). the following image proves that akamai is the shit.

a quick look at babelfish gives insight to what ken is saying. it chokes on mine, though. it's something that i picked up from snoot.com in 1994, in its Brain Spout category. it's quite sad that it went under in 1996. snoot.com was cool.

aryn, 21:07: #

i'm really starting to hate nikon. first, the camera breaks. again. so i send it in to get fixed. they send me a little note in the mail telling me what i already knew. the drive mechanism for the lens was broke, and it needed to be replaced. no charge. it's under warranty. i call, they tell me that i'll have the camera back very soon.

so i patiently wait, calling the front desk of work every five minutes to see if the camera has arrived yet. i pester every single delivery driver who comes to the office. okay... so i wasn't patient. i just want my camera back.

so today, i come into the office. i stroll upstairs. on a whim, i check my mailbox, which isn't a mail "box" at all, it's rather a hanging file folder amidst hundreds of other people's "mailboxes." anyways... i check, and there's a letter from nikon. it says "RE-ESTIMATE" in big red letters on the front. i know that this is not good news. i open it, and now they're telling me that the damage is "impact damage" and that i have to pay to get it fixed. $203 to get something that is still under warranty fixed. i don't think so. you better believe that they're going to hear from me when they open tomorrow morning. and they're going to regret it..

the fcuker paraphanelia (sp?) turned out awesome. i'm wearing the everythingisjustfcuked t-shirt to work today. i can't wait to see what people say.

ken, 15:11: #

negatives: project still not working. text output is fcuked. terminal beeps uncontrollably when 0110 appears on inputs. the nice weather has gone south. sometimes this keyboard ddoubles up typeed characterrs.
positives: i've declared today to be Early 90s Denim Day! therefore i have dressed completely in matching jean jacket and jeans, slicked my hair down, and completed the ensemble with a soundgarden tour shirt. party on wayne.

Cindy, 14:18: #

Today I'm not turning on my computer for a break of sorts. So now I'm at the computer lab, blogging on an iMac for some insane reason. Things have been really hectic these last few days. I think a part of my problem is that I never remember that Tufts runs about 10 minutes later than the rest of the world, and start freaking out when noone shows up to things on time. So therefore, I'm going to be "late" to class because I'm sitting here blogging about nothing. Oh, California. Just you wait.

louis, 13:51: #

i just realized that my watch was a day behind. no wonder i was so out-of-it.

i guess i un-gave up. hurrah.

ken, 11:59: #

what a beautiful day to spend inside a dark computer lab smelling of burnt wiring and smelly computer engineers. does that sound negative? never mind.
aryn im'ed me last night to ask if i was packed for my trip yet. i had to laugh, because i haven't even begun to think about it. and then i had to laugh again, because i leave tomorrow.

aryn, 02:47: #

i'm at the brink of finishing duodenum but i can't bring myself to do any work. maybe it's because i know if i finish it tonight, then i'll have nothing to do at work tomorrow.

one thing that sucks about living on the east coast, in particular the northern part, is that the weather in the winter generally sucks. like today. it's fcuking disgusting outside.

so i took some photos. perhaps i'll put some online later.

aryn, 11:26: #

one thing that sucks hardcore about living on the west coast is that my department is located on the east coast, and once a week, we have a department meeting. at 10am east coast time. which means that i have to wake up at an ass-crack hour (7am), to dial into a conference call, and try not to fall back asleep in the process.

Well, I'm back from skiing in Colorado for 8 days in a row. And you know what? I don't want to be back. In fact, I detest this place. I can't tell if it's because it's Rochester, or if it's just the spring break bug. It's probably some of both. Why can't I just be 1600 miles away with nothing to do?

last night was interesting. i remember Cindy leaving the room after i cuddled up into fetal position with a fleece blanket on my futon. i remember her going to the bathroom this morning. i neglected my pillow; my neck is still sore. all this when i was completely sober.

i've not been sleeping well. when i do sleep, i sleep for ten to twelve hours. the other day i slept for sixteen or eighteen hours. i forget. apparently i'm having nightmares whilst i sleep; i am told that i toss, turn, talk, and last night i was grinding my teeth. yet i feel fine.

i think i'm broken.

the biggest problem with getting lots done well in a short time is that something always has to be sacrificed. i tend to sacrifice what i'm worst at, so i don't really learn much

regarding the speed in which i do things, i generally owe that to caffeine. ah, drugs. the cause of and solution to most people's problems.

emily, 18:52: #

I know that. It's just that you've always been better than me at getting lots done well in a short time :)

louis, 18:32: #

i never claimed to be smart. i don't necessarily get good grades. i do plenty of work, and am up late quite often, it's just that i do things besides schoolwork. like, say, my job. or, say, acadweb stuff. or, say, fun stuff. or even, say, "useful" stuff.

louis, 17:35: #

new photos...

emily, 17:34: #

Yep...Cindy's right. Most college students really do work--I know I do. It's a rare night when my friends or I get more than 4 hours of sleep with all of the work we need to do. Maybe we should just pretend we are as smart as louis, so we don't have to do any real work.... :p

louis, 17:23: #

Cindy- I'd give you another opinion about the DMB album, but I've only heard parts of it while in other people's cars. *shrugs shoulders* On a completely different (and more encouraging) note, the States play ("Cagebirds") is having an open dress rehearsal next Thursday, March 15. We're not doing the encore thing this year, partly because Cohasset is having issues, and yeah... anyways, I hope everyone can see the play on Thursday. It has great acting, make-up, costumes, set design, and music. I've heard mixed reviews about the play itself. In my opinion, it was pretty good. If you can't see it Thursday, they're performing it at 4:00 on March 17 at Durfee High School in Fall River. (semi-finals) For more information about that, go to mhsdg.com . Right now, I'm listening to a song that they used called "Return to Me" by October Project. It's cool. Yay. Have fun. I'm glad that everyone survived the storm, especially those living practically on the water. *cough cough no name necessary cough cough* Good night!

Can someone else besides Louis give me their opinion on the new DMB album? I've been listening to it more and more, and more and more have become disenchanted with the whole thing. It just doesn't sound like DMB anymore, and I'm disappointed. My roommate was trying to convince me that all bands need to evolve in order to stay alive, but it's one thing to evolve into a more mature or individualized sound, and definitely another to sound more mainstream. I mean, the next time I go to see them (April 21st), I'm not going to be excited to hear a song called "If I had it All", but I am going to scream if they play something simply titled "#41".

really now. how does verizon hire these people that call and try to sell me dsl without knowing what speed it runs at? i had to wait for the operator to get a "technically-oriented" person on the phone to get a straight answer about speed, and even then she couldn't tell me speed. 500k? 1.5 megabit? these are simple questions that someone selling dsl should be able to tell me.

my solution, as usual, is to banter technical terms with the salesperson until they get fed up with my babble and stop listening to me. sometimes i like to slip nonsesnse in just to see if they'll notice.

[me] :: "well, if i connect my twenty-grade uplink through your service to a ninety-grade line, and publish xml through a cgi asp interface, wouldn't i be able to immediately exfoliate the connection in order to reduce cyclic redundancy checks? <pause> oh, of course, i could just secularise the marnet boolabaise! <longer pause> so i guess i don't need your service."
[saleslady] :: "um, okay, thanks." <hangs up>

one of the perks of having moved out of 'home' is the fact that I no longer need to shovel snow. yay for plows. yay.

So the couple next door was at it again tonite, and my roommate and I decided to retaliate this time... We found a few of the most annoying songs I had on my computer (i.e. Violent Femmes "American Music," Guns 'N Roses "Paradise City," etc.), faced my tiny little speakers to the wall, and blasted them. I mean, blasted them. My poor speakers! I hope they got the point, and even if they were being too loud to hear the music, at least my roommate and I got some amusement out of the situation.

this movie just came on, and i'm debating whether or not to watch it... the title just seems a bit too silly...

louis, 21:02: #

reading aryn's travel log, i all-of-the-sudden remembered that i cannot cry any more. is that a bad thing?

Jilly, 20:37: #

You have to read this one second!....So......I have to take everything upstairs so when the water either comes through the front of my house, topples it into the road, or completely destroys it ands pulls it off its foundation, I at least did seomthing to protect my large stuff. I will be taking my cute little imac with me and my laptop of course. I am torn if I should take my clothes and of course I will take Tush my smarples bear. This just stinks, i wanted to enjoy this ocean storm by my big fireplace, instead I have to leave! If it sounds like I am rambling, I am. Wish me luck..

Jilly, 20:32: #

Ok all......see that beautiful picture....I live in a place just like that.....EXCEPT...that there is an astronomically high tide in the next day, there is supposed to be 75 mile an hour wind gusts, and 24-30 inches of snow. So.....I get back from All-Eastern in Penn. and my neighbor said..."Oh my goodness......have you heard!!!!...it is supposed to be like the 1978 storm...I am out of here". Now this is a person who LIVES here all year long and never evacuates!!! She has her car packed and is staying in a hotel nearby , with a generator, and I am not even unpacked from Pittsburgh!!! So i have spent the last two hours detangling my stereo!!

I hear California is warm this time of year. Hmm, I guess I will have to go there in two weeks to find out.

Last night, Kristin and I had a party...it was wicked fun :) The bad part was that I stayed up until around 5 this morning and have suffered serious brain freeze all day! I guess it was a good thing that I went to NYC, seeing as how I wouldn't have gotten much done anyway

the direct corrolation between "Dreams of Our Fathers" and "Everyday" with "Little Thing" and "#36," respectively, is uncanny.

Once I finish an essay, write a bigillion checks, pack, go to the bank, drop off two homework assignments, and pick up the new DMB album (I know, I know, I've been really busy) then I will be on my way to Colorado!! Spring break here I come! Ten days with nothing to do but ski and sleep. And maybe eat. If there's time after skiing. Joe (who's out in Wyoming) is coming down the second weekend to visit. I can't wait...haven't seen him in a couple months. So everyone have a great week! I'll be back on the 11th.
