| Andy: I would like to note: regarding your spending log: this is just a very superficial account of what your life costs. In truth, your life is priceless. :D
| 10 Jun 09, 02:36 pm EDT
| | Erwa: Thanks Andy :). But of course you knew I was only kidding when I said I wondered "how much my life costs." The spending log is just a good way for me to assess how much I spend and budget accordingly.
| 10 Jun 09, 05:20 pm EDT
| | Andy: I should keep a log like this too. Do you just bring a notebook around all the time or what?
| 11 Jun 09, 10:00 am CDT
| | Erwa: I have a purple 1-subject Staples notebook that has my San Francisco trip journal entries, my life log, my sleep log, and my spending log. I don't bring it around with me anymore because I've
| 11 Jun 09, 11:33 am CDT
| | Erwa: concluded my life log, but I still continue my sleep and spending logs. I just hold on to receipts and tickets and enter them in my notebook at the end of each day. Money I find I keep in my pockets
| 11 Jun 09, 11:34 am CDT
| | Erwa: and when I get home, I record the findings in my Money Found log (a text file).
| 11 Jun 09, 11:35 am CDT
| | Erwa: And of course, when I'm about to nap or going to sleep, I mark the time in my sleep log. Then, when I wake up, I write down the time I get up.
| 11 Jun 09, 11:38 am CDT
| | Andy: Your logs remind me of this article I read a while ago about this guy who was video taping every moment of his life. He carried around a minicomputer *everywhere* to keep account of his life.
| 11 Jun 09, 12:14 pm CDT
| | Andy: Random thought btw: I wonder if musicians all hate having long nails. I know I get so annoyed everytime my nails get longer.
| 11 Jun 09, 12:17 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Wow, videotaping every moment of your life is pretty hardcore. Well, a lot of musicians don't have long nails, like pianists, who would scratch their keys if their nails were too long. Yeah, I get annoyed by long nails, too. I cut my fingernails weekly.
| 11 Jun 09, 12:27 pm CDT
| | Andy: I cut my fingernails every time then aren't short anymore.
| 12 Jun 09, 06:50 am CDT
| | Andy: The change your screen res thing was really helpful. I've always wondered how to do that. :D
| 15 Jun 09, 08:08 am CDT
| | Erwa: You learn so much from video games :D.
| 15 Jun 09, 09:21 am CDT
| | Andy: It didnt' work for me in other games though, haha.
| 16 Jun 09, 01:54 am CDT
| | Andy: Actually it doesn't even work for me in SC. I think that's a very computer specific shortcut.
| 16 Jun 09, 01:54 am CDT
| | Erwa: Yeah, actually it only works for me when SC is open. If no full-screen game is open and I do Ctrl+Alt+F11, the screen just flashes a few times but then settles back to the same resolution.

| 22 Jun 09, 11:34 am CDT
| | Erwa: Temporary fix.
| 22 Jun 09, 01:04 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Actually, I kinda like this as a permanent fix because it respectfully preserves your original post and does not chop up your "long word" into many lines.
| 22 Jun 09, 01:05 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Thanks, Andy, for your ownage. I learned a bunch about <table> tags and table formatting in trying to fix the problem :D.
| 22 Jun 09, 01:16 pm CDT
| | Erwa: And this fix preserves the rest of this page's layout.

| 22 Jun 09, 01:20 pm CDT
| | Erwa: I set it that way.
| 22 Jun 09, 01:20 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Actually, the colors aren't random. It cycles through 6 colors.
| 22 Jun 09, 01:24 pm CDT

| 22 Jun 09, 05:33 pm CDT
| | Andy: I think the colors are always a set position, eh?
| 22 Jun 09, 05:33 pm CDT
| | Erwa: It goes red, different shades of purple, blue, different shades of purple, red, etc.

| | Erwa: Oh interesting, in IE8, your 'pwn' is chopped off abruptly when it reaches the edge of the table cell.
| 7 Jul 09, 12:42 am CDT
| | Andy: That's why I use FF3 and not IE8. I also use Google Chrome, you should give it a try if you haven't.
| 7 Jul 09, 05:05 pm CDT
| | Erwa: My primary browser is FF3.5, but I also have all the major browsers (IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera) and a program for testing older versions of IE when I'm doing web design and want to check browser compatibility.
| 7 Jul 09, 06:46 pm CDT
| | Erwa: I prefer Firefox for all the useful add-ons I use, which include the following web design tools: IE Tab, Firebug, FireFTP, SafariView, OperaView, and ChromeView.

| 18 Aug 09, 01:52 pm CDT
| | Erwa: I wonder if someone typed the above randomness or if it was automatically generated by some crawler program.
| 18 Aug 09, 03:36 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Something similar came up over the weekend, but I manually deleted it. This looks like it was done by the same thing or person.

| 18 Aug 09, 10:44 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Hahahaha. And a FOB accent, right?
| 19 Aug 09, 08:06 pm CDT
| | aNDY: LIKE THE NEW VIDEO. ONE THING THAT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THAT I USUALLY DON'T EAT ENRICHED CEREALS, BUT RATHER UN-ENRICHED CEREALS BECAUSE ENRICHED CEREALS HAVE VITAMIN d3, WHICH IS MADE FROM ANIMALS.
| 22 Aug 09, 02:22 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Ooh...so strict. So you probably can't take most vitamin supplements since I'm assuming most probably have Vitamin D3? And what's with the ALL CAPS?
| 22 Aug 09, 06:05 pm CDT
| | Andy: I don't know. and yes, i take exclusively vegetarian multiple
| 22 Aug 09, 11:09 pm CDT
| | Andy: Yo the ants in your cereal is totally disgusting.
| 23 Aug 09, 10:21 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Somehow, I knew you were gonna say that :P. Nothing happened to me, I'd glad to say.
| 24 Aug 09, 11:32 am CDT
| | Andy: But it's still gross that you ate that.
| 24 Aug 09, 12:23 pm CDT
| | Andy: Random thought: doesn't the word gross look gross?
| 24 Aug 09, 12:24 pm CDT
| | Erwa: I've been reading a lot more online about entomophagy, and apparently insects are an excellent source of nutrients - ants are high in zinc - and in the wilderness, they double as a good source of calories that's easy to find.
| 24 Aug 09, 01:48 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Some people even report the health benefits of eating some insects, supposedly boosting the immune system and helping relieve arthritis.
| 24 Aug 09, 01:50 pm CDT
| | Erwa: A little. grass looks pretty gross too. So does oreo.
| 24 Aug 09, 01:51 pm CDT
| | Andy: I pee in the shower too, it's pretty normal and you can aim it at the drain to avoid the smells and saves water.
| 25 Aug 09, 10:37 am CDT
| | Andy : As for showering routines...I usually keep the water on as I do all of this so I have quick access to keep my bar soap wet. I shampoo, and immediately wash it off after some scrubbing, so the suds from the shampoo already flows over my body.
| 25 Aug 09, 10:39 am CDT
| | Andy: Then I condition my hair and leave the conditioner in as I proceed to bar soap everything. I usually wash quickly after I bar soap because then I can tell if its still dirty. For example, I may soap my face a couple of times before stopping because its oily from the entire course of the day. Then finally I will wash the conditioner off and give my body one last rub before turning off the water and getting my towel.
| 25 Aug 09, 10:41 am CDT
| | Erwa: I see. Are you supposed to let conditioner sit in your hair for a little bit in order for it to do its work?
| 25 Aug 09, 02:49 pm CDT
| | Erwa: You can tell if your body is still dirty by looking at the bar of soap? I don't ever need to wet my soap because I wet my whole body before applying soap. By dunking your whole body under the shower, I find it's plenty wet for soap and shampoo that you don't need to re-wet your soap bar.
| 25 Aug 09, 02:51 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Oh yeah, FYI, I let the old Flooble Chatterbox that used to be here expire. I got tired of posting there just to keep it from expiring.
| 25 Aug 09, 02:55 pm CDT
| | Andy: What's the flooble chatterbox? Is that the one down there?
| 25 Aug 09, 09:17 pm CDT
| | Andy: I meant that when I wash with soap and then rinse it off, I can scrub my face and tell if its still dirty. At which point I will reapply soap. Also, I don't rub the bar soap on my body directly because I think that's very unhygienic. Instead, I keep it went and rub it in my palms to get the suds and then apply the suds to my body. I continually rinse my palms and the soap to keep it fresh and clean. This also avoids getting unnecessary hair follicles onto the bar soap.
| 25 Aug 09, 09:18 pm CDT
| | Erwa: The Flooble Chatterbox was the chatterbox that used to be in this location, where the PHP chatterbox I wrote currently resides. The chatterbox below is a Cbox.
| 26 Aug 09, 09:52 am CDT
| | Erwa: When you say 'scrub my face,' do you mean rub your face a little with your hand to tell if it's still dirty? Hmm, yeah, I guess not rubbing the soap bar directly is a bit more hygienic, but I think I'm too lazy for that. I mean, if there is a disease on the soap, even if you rub it on your hands first, you'll still transmit it to the rest of your body that you then touch.
| 26 Aug 09, 09:55 am CDT
| | Andy: When I wash my face I scrub it with my hands. And if I feel a lot of resistance then it's clean, haha. Also if there's no oil. You know!?
| 26 Aug 09, 10:31 am CDT
| | Erwa: Oh right, hahaha, makes sense that you scrub with you hands because you first rub the soap suds onto your hands. I still remember you told me your aunt said a way to know when the dishes are clean is when they squeak. Does your face squeak when it's clean?
| 26 Aug 09, 12:57 pm CDT
| | Andy: Its the same feeling. :)
| 27 Aug 09, 01:11 am CDT
| | Andy: Also I strongly believe that scrubbing your face in that manner is a good way to help keep acne in check.
| 27 Aug 09, 01:11 am CDT
| | Erwa: Hah! One of my Stevens research partners - Kevin - was really obsessed about keep his face clean. He even brought around a cleaning cloth, or maybe it was special cleaning tissue paper, to wipe his face with whenever it felt oily.
| 27 Aug 09, 09:20 am CDT
| | Andy: I'm not that hardcore. But when your face is clean it feels really great. Just avoid touching your face with your hands during the course of the day.
| 27 Aug 09, 12:44 pm CDT
| | Andy: Also, speaking of acne, I find that it has a lot to do with your diet too. For me, when I eat a lot of sweet foods, I am more likely to get acne.
| 27 Aug 09, 12:44 pm CDT
| | Andy: Also, speaking of acne, I find that it has a lot to do with your diet too. For me, when I eat a lot of sweet foods, I am more likely to get acne.
| 27 Aug 09, 12:59 pm CDT
| | Andy: Oops I double posted.
| 27 Aug 09, 12:59 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Lol, you double posted 15 minutes apart. For me, it feels really great when my hands are clean. Especially when practicing cubing or at cubing competitions, I will wash my hands a lot during the day.
| 27 Aug 09, 04:39 pm CDT
| | Andy: Yeah, I share your feeling for clean hands. I hate having sticky hands. It gets uncomfortable to type, to play piano/cello, even to break.
| 27 Aug 09, 08:55 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Yeah totally. Uncomfortable to cube, to play StarCraft, to play clarinet, to touch things.
| 28 Aug 09, 01:20 pm CDT
| | Andy: Smoothness is ideal. Even in breakdance, we wear smooth clothing to make moves easier.
| 28 Aug 09, 02:50 pm CDT
| | Erwa: So do you wear those silk-like textured shirts and elastic pants?
| 30 Aug 09, 09:22 am CDT
| | Andy: Uh.. I wear track jackets. Something like the ones on the bottom of this page: http://www.express.com/catalog/thumbnail.jsp?parentCategoryId=1&categoryId=97&subCategoryId=97&index=24

| 3 Sep 09, 05:39 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Hey Kate! It's so great to have a new poster! :) I'm glad you like the Money Found section! All that loose change I find sure does add up!
| 4 Sep 09, 12:33 pm CDT
| | Kate!: Hey Andy and Anthony! Classes are looking pretty good, actually. I have to take physics, and I do have a grudge against physics, but I'll make do. :) How about you guys?
| 5 Sep 09, 09:21 am CDT
| | Andy: Yo, if Physics were a person, I would tell him to go easy on you.
| 5 Sep 09, 11:06 pm CDT

| 5 Sep 09, 11:24 pm CDT
| | Andy: Nice attempt at blood donation. I cleared the first time and donated in Jersey, but then they kept calling me even after I left for college. Maybe its better you didn't donate, haha.
| 6 Sep 09, 11:50 am CDT
| | Andy: By the way, if your iron level is too low, you can't donate blood, because you'll most likely faint, etc, from the lack of blood.
| 6 Sep 09, 11:51 am CDT
| | Kate!: The same thing happened to me when I tried to donate blood! They weren't sure if a plasma transfusion disqualified me, so I have to wait until 12/9/09. Boo.
| 6 Sep 09, 12:03 pm CDT
| | Kate!: And I'm glad you like my exclamation point. I don't really have a nickname--the only thing people call me besides Kate (and Mexican, but that's a long story) is Kate! Also, it makes my name approximately the same width as Andy or Erwa, so the chatterbox looks nice. And thanks for the encouragement, Andy. :)

| 20 Sep 09, 10:04 pm CDT
| | Erwa: Bleh, though I think I am suffering a bit from sleep deprivation. How have you been, Tienes?
| 20 Sep 09, 10:05 pm CDT
| | Andy: I'd have to say the same. Content, but busy. I really enjoy my living space and my classes are mostly very engaging and have good professors.
| 21 Sep 09, 02:33 pm CDT

And even though we may mourn its loss in the lonely years afterwards, as the pain slowly dulls, there will come a day when we remember that belt not for the heart-wrenching way that it left us, but for the bliss of those days that it graced us with its presence and held our pants together.

| 23 Nov 09, 03:12 am CST
| | Andy: But also, sometimes, its only a matter of time.
| 23 Nov 09, 03:13 am CST
| | Erwa: On a positive note, my pants actually appear to fit me because they ride a few inches lower.
| 24 Nov 09, 12:04 am CST
| | Crissy: This looks... so different than I remember.
| 27 Nov 09, 02:22 pm CST
| | Crissy: I'm pretty sure my belt is with a friend at the moment. I hope she's taking care of it.
| 27 Nov 09, 02:25 pm CST
| | Erwa: Good news! I'm back home now and I found an old belt that fits.
| 27 Nov 09, 08:43 pm CST
| | Crissy : Congrats! What do you mean by "home"?
| 28 Nov 09, 02:43 pm CST
| | Crissy : Congrats! What do you mean by "home"?
| 28 Nov 09, 05:17 pm CST
| | Crissy: :| Why are they so far apart, time-wise? Too strange.
| 28 Nov 09, 05:17 pm CST
| | Erwa: :D Home as in my house in Morris Plains, NJ, which has been my permanent residence for the past 12 years. Lol at the huge time difference. I have no explanation.
| 28 Nov 09, 10:29 pm CST
| | Andy: Crissy it must've been your evil twin! Plotting to confuse you and your friends every second.
| 29 Nov 09, 07:01 am CST
| | Crissy: How can this be? We would hardly be at cross purposes... And that's what evil twins are for.
| 29 Nov 09, 11:09 pm CST
| | Crissy: Erwa, I thought perhaps you might refer to your dorm as home. Sometimes I do.
| 29 Nov 09, 11:10 pm CST
| | Erwa: Oh yes, I guess I do that, too. It's always a refreshing feeling to arrive somewhere (whether it's home in NJ or my dorm room) after being away for a while.
| 30 Nov 09, 03:27 pm CST
| | Andy: I lost my watch that I got from a long time ago (over 7 years). I didn't really feel sad, but you are right. One less thing to put on, one less thing to worry about. I just look at my phone all the time now.
| 2 Dec 09, 01:26 am CST
| | Lily: I hadn't noticed either... Now I wonder if I've been missing any important popups.
| 7 Dec 09, 09:57 am CST
| | Lily: Like howtosucceedatlife.com is a popup, and all I see is a blank page.
| 7 Dec 09, 09:58 am CST
| | Erwa: I think the blank page is telling you there's no single right answer. You have to craft your own path of success.
| 7 Dec 09, 10:27 am CST
| | Erwa: To quote this book I'm currently reading called "The Art of Possibility," you could think of the blank page as a "universe of possibility."
| 7 Dec 09, 10:28 am CST
| | Andy: Or maybe a blank page is telling you there is no way to succeed at life.
| 7 Dec 09, 11:20 am CST
| | Erwa: So, Andy, in that interpretation, does that mean life is not about succeeding but about something else?
| 7 Dec 09, 05:07 pm CST
| | Erwa: And if so, what is life about?
| 7 Dec 09, 06:31 pm CST
| | Life: I'm all about embracing, man. I love to embrace people who embrace me. Carpe Diem, you know? Don't listen to what people say about success, that's just a cover-up for what they lack.
| 7 Dec 09, 09:30 pm CST
| | Lily: Come on, now. We're already alive, how much more embrace-y do you want to get? Would a handshake do?
| 8 Dec 09, 09:26 am CST
| | Life: I guess a handshake will do. =\
| 8 Dec 09, 10:37 am CST
| | Erwa: How do you give life a handshake?
| 9 Dec 09, 12:02 am CST
| | Lily: You know. You poke your head in, say how d'you do, briefly experience what life has to offer, and then send it on its way.
| 9 Dec 09, 10:48 am CST
| | Andy: So I had two dreams last night. One of them I was playing the Dvorak Cello concerto, but didn't realize this until after I woke up. In the other one I think I was fighting like in a fantasy action world, lol.
| 9 Dec 09, 03:42 pm CST
| | Lily: I heard that your musical abilities improve if you practice and then sleep. Maybe that dream was actually you subconsciously practicing the cello. And your video game dexterity.
| 10 Dec 09, 10:30 am CST
| | Andy: It's funny you mention that because I've been wanting to practice cello; but haven't. On the other hand, I've been unwinding by reliving adventures in Zelda, Ocarina of Time.
| 11 Dec 09, 02:31 pm CST
| | Erwa: Oh, along the lines of improving musical skills, I find that if I sleep after studying, it helps me retain the material better. I think during the sleep, your mind rearranges whatever you have learned or practiced so that when you wake up, it's very organized and coherent in your mind. Sort of like a disk defragmentation I think.
| 12 Dec 09, 02:24 pm CST
| | Erwa: Sleep improves system performance :).
| 12 Dec 09, 02:24 pm CST
| | Andy: Actually that's pretty ironic since sleeping probably does nothing for the disk defragmentation unless Windows magically implemented a feature that defragged while it was sleeping. And actually, your mind DOES rearrange things you learn when you sleep--I remember learning this in AP Bio two years ago. I guess bio's not so bad after all, it gave me more common sense, which is always useful. But for seriously, sleep is the bomb.

| | Andy: The following message is meant for a mature audience. You have been warned...............................................................................................FUCK YOU jgyohtejmi and you stupid spam. Get the hell out of this website and don't come back.
| 13 Dec 09, 07:34 am CST
| | Lily: Hey I don't know, I think it's pretty awesome that spambots have managed to find us: not in a commercial chatterbox that a certain bot could be instructed to target, but one that Erwa wrote himself.
| 13 Dec 09, 09:19 am CST
| | Andy: Actually I think Erwa copied the code from somewhere? I remember talking to him about this a long long time ago.
| 13 Dec 09, 11:36 am CST
| | Erwa: Nope, not this chatterbox. Wrote it myself in PHP.
| 13 Dec 09, 12:57 pm CST
| | Andy: Okay, fair enough. But Lily, still. That's like saying its pretty cool that a dog managed to bit me in my dorm room. It must've been pretty ridiculous for the dog to get to my room, but the fact of the matter is that I still got bit. :(
| 13 Dec 09, 18:33 CST
| | Andy: I am liking the new layout with the contents that shrinks and expands. Nice work!
| 13 Dec 09, 18:34 CST
| | Andy: Suggestion: Have the "What's New" include every detail, not just your updates. Like... make it automatic so that any changes/new posts/comments will be displayed.
| 14 Dec 09, 09:45 CST
| | Erwa: Heh, I've been thinking about doing that, but like I do a lot of minor updates (like updating my Money Found page) that I don't feel are worthy of getting a "What's New" post on them.
| 14 Dec 09, 13:26 CST
| | Erwa: But maybe for comments (I'm assuming you mean chatterbox posts) I could add an RSS feed that is automatically updated whenever someone posts a message.

| 16 Dec 09, 19:06 CST
| | Andy: GO ERWA'S PRIMITIVE SPAM CATCHER GO GO GO GO GO
| 17 Dec 09, 16:04 CST
| | Andy: That is a really baller spam catcher.
| 17 Dec 09, 16:05 CST
| | Erwa: Thanks :). I was considering just deleting the whole post all together when spam was detected but I decided it would be more entertaining to just replace the spam text with a message.
| 17 Dec 09, 18:40 CST
| | Lily: Oh, the image randomly switches. Are you tired of being identified with Rubik's Cubes, Erwa?
| 20 Dec 09, 19:42 CST
| | Erwa: Hmm, well, I still get the occasional "Oh, you can solve a Rubik's Cube in twenty seconds, I'm sure you can..." or the "Oh, you can solve a Rubik's Cube in twenty seconds, but you can't..." but I think there are lots of other things that people identify me with, like bandie, weird diets, crazy sleep schedule, CS/math/science person, StarCraft. I think a lot of people have a general idea of what my personality and character is like, and I don't think they'd associate it only with Rubik's Cubes.
| 21 Dec 09, 00:25 CST
| | Erwa: Of course, cubing is probably what I'm most skilled in, and a lot of people know that, so sometimes I'll get emails about cube sightings/videos or people will make allusions to my cubing hobby.
| 21 Dec 09, 00:28 CST
| | Erwa: Do you identify me with a Rubik's Cube?
| 21 Dec 09, 00:28 CST
| | Andy: I read a quote recently, "The secret is to be so good that they can't ignore you." This is exactly what you've done. You got so good at solving it that people couldn't ignore it, and of course you are going to be associated with that a lot. I feel like people use activities and jobs to remember/identify others. The more unique or better you are at what you do, the longer you will stay in someone's memory.
| 22 Dec 09, 09:16 CST
| | Andy: I certainly don't identify you with a Rubik's Cube, though I do acknowledge that you are awesome at it. And while that is great, there is much more to you than just cubes; your actions, thoughts, personality are much more meaningful and substantial than your skills - though that may not be true in the cutthroat worlds that we often see "out there."
| 22 Dec 09, 09:19 CST
| | Andy: I just read your journal entry; it was a good read. I wanna say that I experienced the same thing this semester, even though I didn't overload on credits, just because all my classes were rather time consuming. And I just ended up not portioning my time well/studying consistently. Alas, procrastination got to me too. Worst grades ever this semester. But its okay, its over, its time to move on.
| 23 Dec 09, 09:06 CST
| | Andy: That puzzling game was pretty awesome.
| 23 Dec 09, 10:42 CST
| | Erwa: Hey, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and support. It makes me feel better. PS: I wanna continue playing that puzzling game right now!
| 23 Dec 09, 17:59 CST
| | Andy: Lol I love how you added that PS in a standard chat box like this. lol.
| 24 Dec 09, 08:55 CST
| | Andy: But you know, the trick is not to overcome procrastination, but let procrastination work for you. PLAN out your times to procrastinate so you satisfy your urge for procrastination yet still get stuff done. :)
| 24 Dec 09, 08:56 CST
| | Erwa: Oh, that's what I did with my ANTH 254 paper due on Monday, 12/14 - instead of working on it on Sunday, 12/13, I updated the layout of this page (note the What's New? post about it).
| 24 Dec 09, 18:47 CST
| | Andy: No bro, that's not what I mean. You have to go one step further than what you did. You can't spontaneously decide to procrastinate on something to do something else. You have to plan it out so that even while procrastinating, you get the deadlines.
| 24 Dec 09, 20:08 CST
| | Erwa: I'm not sure I understand. Can you give me an example from your own experience?
| 24 Dec 09, 21:49 CST
| | Andy: Basically, think about it this way. You need to always be looking at your time, always planning ahead. If you receive an assignment a week ago, START the day you receive it, and start strong. Get a lot done as soon as you can, so in the final stages, you can procrastinate on polishing it. In the end, you are still procrastinating, just with a safety net.
| 24 Dec 09, 23:58 CST
| | Erwa: Ah, I see. That's really tough to do, but I'll see if I can do that next semester.
| 25 Dec 09, 01:31 CST
| | Andy: Do you think what you are pursuing, your major, your goals, coincide with what you are honestly, genuinely, interested in? Sometimes I feel like I am unsure with mine.
| 29 Dec 09, 11:44 CST
| | Erwa: I think CS is a pretty good fit for me - there's a lot of programming involved, and I like that, it's a good blend of creativity, technical stuff, and it's a skill that I think is practical and applicable. But like, sometimes I feel really frustrated and bored with life, there's so much repetition and routine in daily life; that's why I think a radical change in life like going off and trying to live in the woods for a year would be really revitalizing and fun.
| 30 Dec 09, 01:39 CST
| | Andy: I don't remember if I talked about this with you; I think I did, but I read about how escaping from your daily routine once a week can really revitalize your spirits and motivation. Just get off campus by yourself, learn, appreciate, see the world. I definitely don't think you have to go off and try to live in the woods for a year, but if that is your ultimate passion, there's no harm in trying it, right? :)
| 30 Dec 09, 10:04 CST
| | Erwa: Sounds sort of like what band does for me - it revitalizes my spirits, though I'm not sure about revitalizing my motivation. I am going to go take random walks/runs around New Haven when I go back for the spring semester. Apparently, the ocean is only a 15-minute jog away from campus. Heh, I think living in the woods for a year would be very fun and refreshing, but it would be very lonely if you did it alone.
| 2 Jan 10, 20:54 CST
| | Erwa: Hey! The next little project I was thinking of doing for my website is adding a box that automatically displays the latest RSS feeds of my friends' blogs that I read. So basically I would take all the WordPress, LiveJournal, BlogSpot, and Tumblr feeds of friends whose blogs I read and compile them into one feed that displays on this site. But I wanted to run this by you guys and ask if any of you would prefer that your blog feed not be included. So let me know if it's okay.
| 10 Jan 10, 02:33 CST
| | Andy: I'm cool with it. I mean.. how many people check your blog to begin with? :P
| 10 Jan 10, 09:56 CST
| | Erwa: Haha, thanks, Andy. I guess I can experiment with your blogs' feeds as guinea pigs.
| 10 Jan 10, 13:11 CST
| | Andy: Hahaha. Hey dude, what have you been up to lately? It's vacation time and you are never around to puzzling or just chill.
| 11 Jan 10, 09:00 CST
| | Erwa: Yo, today was my first day of classes for the spring 2010 semester. I shopped six classes.
| 11 Jan 10, 16:36 CST
| | Andy: Yo, I don't have class for another two weeks.
| 12 Jan 10, 07:33 CST
| | Erwa: Hey, I might not get around to implementing the automatic RSS feed for a while - I'm pretty busy choosing classing/applying for summer internships/start-of-the-semester madness.
| 12 Jan 10, 14:06 CST
| | Andy: I realized that. How's choosing classes? We should call each other and chat and a weekly basis, I think it'll be fun and good to hear from you. :)
| 13 Jan 10, 06:48 CST
| | Erwa: Hey, I think I finally decided what classes I'll take, after shopping thirteen classes: Operating Systems (CS), Algorithms (CS), Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations (Engineering & Applied Science), Philosophy of Religion (Philosophy), and Elementary Musicianship I (Music), for 4.5 credits.
| 13 Jan 10, 14:09 CST
| | Andy: That sounds like a great set of courses to take. Very varied, and interesting. Especially Philosphy of Religion. I'd like to hear your thoughts about that.
| 13 Jan 10, 15:20 CST
| | Crissy: You stole a street sign?
| 13 Jan 10, 20:39 CST
| | Erwa: Yeah, the two courses I'm most excited about are Philosophy of Religion and Algorithms. The professors for these classes are so cool and such interesting, engaging, and passionate speakers. I want to come to class just to listen to them talk.
| 13 Jan 10, 21:02 CST
| | Erwa: My Phil. of Rel. professor is funny, informative, and gives his own perspective but is very open-minded to other perspectives. The class deals with various topics from both sides, including the existence of God, evil, faith, reason, death, immortality, miracles, and science. Some of these issues (like the existence of God) are topics I have been investigating and pondering a lot recently, so I hope this class will help me figure it out. My Algorithms professor is actually a Yale CS grad himself,
| 13 Jan 10, 21:04 CST
| | Erwa: who took Systems Programming & Computer Architecture (which I took last semester) with the same professor (my faculty advisor) who I had. On the first day of class, he talked about a marriage problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem) posed in a 1962 paper and it was so interesting. Dude, this is the kind of stuff I love thinking about - algorithms for solving problems, how to implement them, and their efficiency. The Elementary Musicianship I class is also gonna be fun and
| 13 Jan 10, 21:09 CST
| | Erwa: relaxing. It focuses on all aspects of ear training and actively practicing it through interval recognition, sight-singing, melodic & harmonic dictations, and aural analysis. It's a 1/2 credit class and should be a good way to round out a tough CS/math schedule. Listening to music and singing in class is kinda soothing.
| 13 Jan 10, 21:11 CST
| | Erwa: @Crissy: Yes, I did. During my walk back to the train station after visiting Andy at Hopkins, I found a street sign on the ground and thought it'd make a good decoration for my suite's common room last year, so I took it.
| 13 Jan 10, 21:22 CST
| Andy: Yes, it's definitely great to take time away from hard classes to immerse yourself in the arts. It'll make the science and math more bearable. I think you'll have a great time this semester. My courses are pretty technical, but I decided to drop one and take a philosophy class as well, so it should be pretty interesting.
I also like the new format of the chat box, with the character counter. That is pretty creative.
| 14 Jan 10, 08:12 CST
| | Andy: Is it possible to increase the amount of characters? Also, can you make it so that the tabbing goes to Post next rather than the amount of characters left?
| 14 Jan 10, 08:13 CST
| | Erwa: Hey boss, I increased the character-limit to 1,000 characters. I'll look into the tabbing when I have more time. It'll requiring a bit more playing around.
| 15 Jan 10, 02:06 CST
| Erwa: @classes: What is your philosophy class about?
Yeah, I also want more time to work on some projects for this website and the AASA website and to play/practice StarCraft for the CSL team :) (not as high priority, of course). I'm also doing this Friday lunch Bible discussion with some students and John Yelverton. I met him at a book table last year run by the Yale Students for Christ, at which I got The Language of God by Francis Collins. I really enjoyed the book, so this year, I came back and got a few more free books from him - the Holy Bible, The Reason for God by Timothy Keller, and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. He's a friendly guy, and it's nice chatting with him about religious issues.
| 15 Jan 10, 02:17 CST
| | Andy: Classes haven't started for me yet, so I don't really know what the philosophy class is about. It's "History of Modern Philosophy," so we're going to be reading stuff by Kant, etc.
| 15 Jan 10, 08:11 CST
| | Lily: Not caught up with backlog of posts/comments yet, but today in the dining hall I saw a backpack exactly like Erwa's! It was sitting by itself against the wall, and the closest person was this Asian girl. Saw your update and knew it was destiny that I post this instead of finishing cramming, wheee!
| 15 Jan 10, 22:53 CST
| | Ken: Yo Anthony, I'm sitting next to you right now.
| 16 Jan 10, 00:19 CST
| | Crissy: Erwa, you're not a minor anymore! It's apparently much worse if you get caught and you're a, uh, ... major?
| 16 Jan 10, 23:53 CST
| | Crissy: A friend of mine described it as a rite of passage; steal a streetsign before your 18th birthday. (Presumably give it right back.) Since yours wasn't in use, did you end up hanging on to it?
| 16 Jan 10, 23:54 CST
| Erwa: Hey, I actually did get caught! Check out http://erwa.pnosker.com/secure/2009/february.php#2 for the full story. I bring the sign 250 miles from Baltimore to New Haven and then I get busted in the last mile of my journey.
I never thought of it as a right of passage; I just took it because my suite last year (The Lair) had weird decorations in our common room, so I thought the street sign was appropriate.
| 17 Jan 10, 12:14 CST
| | Andy: Getting caught is all the fun in doing something bad.
| 26 Jan 10, 09:27 CST
| | Erwa: Heh, I dunno. Sometimes getting away with it is even more fun and makes for a better story.
| 27 Jan 10, 18:38 CST
| Erwa: Just FYI, I decided to take Database System Implementation and Architectures instead of Operating Systems because:
1) the OS professor is new and this is the first time he is teaching this course at Yale, but he will be teaching this course annually from now on (in the past, OS was only offered bi-annually).
2) the Databases class is taught by a professor who is going on leave next year, so the class probably won't be offered next year.
| 30 Jan 10, 15:52 CST
| | Lily: What if a better professor teaches Databases next year? :P OS was the time of my life, and by "time of my life" I mean "most simultaneously excruciating and enlightening three months ever". I think I'll be taking Databases next year, so maybe you can help me out.
| 1 Feb 10, 20:42 CST
| Erwa: Haha, yo, my Databases professor is so cool. He just got his Ph.D. two years ago, is young and energetic and very friendly. There's something about him I like; I just get the impression he is such a good-natured, good-intentioned person with a very positive attitude in life. He is a helpful and approachable person. I am really glad I have this opportunity to take his class and get to know him.
Heh, I hear horror stories about OS here, too. We have an analogy which is - CS 422:CS 323 = CS 323:CS 223. 422 is OS, 323 is Systems Programming, which I took in the fall, and 223 is Data Structures, which I took in the spring last year. The analogy says the increase in workload and difficulty from 223 to 323 is the same as the increase from 323 to 422.
I think to prepare for OS, I might start playing around with the xv6 environment and doing some of the assignments over the summer. I am anticipating many sleepless nights in the Zoo.
I think DBs will be easy for you after surviving OS :).
| 2 Feb 10, 03:19 CST
| | Andy: College classes teach no useful information.
| 4 Feb 10, 15:06 CST
| | Erwa: I think a lot of useful stuff you learn out of class, like understanding and getting better human interaction, etc., but I've learned a lot of useful stuff in class, too, like data structures & programming techniques (the name of my CS 223 class). As a CS major looking to go into industry, learning and understanding these CS concepts is definitely very practical and improves my programming abilities.
| 4 Feb 10, 18:18 CST
| | Andy: Happy Lunar New Year!
| 14 Feb 10, 09:37 CST
| | Erwa: You, too, and Happy Valentine's Day, too!
| 14 Feb 10, 13:20 CST
| | Andy: WASSSUP
| 25 Feb 10, 11:55 CST
| | Erwa: Gonna go nap now before my match against Stony Brook.
| 25 Feb 10, 18:24 CST
| | Andy: You guys smoked the crap out of Stony Brook. That fast rine rush was epic own.
| 26 Feb 10, 08:20 CST
| Lily: Andy, your last comment was 100% incomprehensible to me.
Also, I realized what ISB was after I posted my comment, but I'm too lazy to go make another one. Cheers!
| 26 Feb 10, 10:47 CST
| Erwa: Lol, Chris Jeng is sitting next to me and just commented that the only word that you probably didn't understand was "rine". "rine" is just short for "marine".
:)
| 26 Feb 10, 23:56 CST
| | Erwa: The match against Stony Brook was kinda anticlimactic. I was hoping for a tougher match. It's kinda boring just completely dominating your opponent without a struggle.
| 27 Feb 10, 02:03 CST
| Andy: What exact build did you use? IIRC, you fast expoed into 3 rax rine?
Lily, you should take up starcraft in your free time and learn all this game speak.
| 27 Feb 10, 11:50 CST
| | Erwa: I 1-rax cc'd and then added on 2 more rax. But seriously, I could've triple cc'd and SCV-rushed my opponent and still won.
| 27 Feb 10, 16:07 CST
| | Vita.Calcium: Yo I forgot all my PLL's :(
| 27 Feb 10, 17:33 CST
| | Erwa: Don't sweat. Bob Burton has a list of his PLL algs on his page - http://cubewhiz.com/pll.html - along with links to many other cubers' PLL pages in case you don't like his.
| 27 Feb 10, 22:40 CST
| | Vita.Calcium: I wonder if I can play for Yale next season on CSL as a smurf or something. XD
| 28 Feb 10, 10:33 CST
| | Erwa: Lol, I don't think we'd want to jeopardize our team and perhaps be penalized like Rutgers was for fielding a non-Rutgers student. Why can't you just play for JHU?
| 28 Feb 10, 19:14 CST
| | Vita.C: For some reason we don't have a team. I don't know what happened to our coordinator.
| 3 Mar 10, 08:30 CST
| | Erwa: Oh? That's weird. Why don't you restart it? Though, I guess you're also welcome to play on the Yale team.
| 3 Mar 10, 12:12 CST
| | Vita.C: Shrugs. I might just not play after all. This not gaming experience has been pretty good for me; maybe I stick with it for the most part and play games minimally from now on.
| 4 Mar 10, 09:11 CST
| | anonymous: I don't really know what to do with myself.
| 6 Mar 10, 18:45 CST
| | anonymous: Oh, you turn blank names automatically into "anonymous".
| 6 Mar 10, 18:45 CST
| | Erwa: I think you should go pick up a hobby.
| 8 Mar 10, 01:23 CST
| | anonymous: I quit all my hobbies.
| 8 Mar 10, 18:25 CST
| | Erwa: How come?
| 9 Mar 10, 02:53 CST
| | Lily: Because I thought they were the problem. But they're not really the problem, are they? Hey, congrats on getting your full license! I think mine expires this summer - after which I'll be getting the landscape version. Does that mean you're back in NJ? You should drive down here and visit me. :)
| 9 Mar 10, 10:33 CST
| | Andy: The only problem I see here is you not having hobbies.
| 10 Mar 10, 06:51 CST
| | Lily: Yeah, that is a problem, isn't it?
| 10 Mar 10, 18:34 CST
| | Andy: Pick a new one? Any ideas?
| 10 Mar 10, 19:28 CST
| | Andy: Nice job refining this chatbox, btw.
| 10 Mar 10, 19:28 CST
| Erwa: Hey, Alan and I want to go visit Pton Friday (3/12) afternoon. Will you be free? And how are midterms?
Yo, you should join the Princeton Band. Then you can come visit Yale when Princeton plays Yale in football in the fall.
Heh, Andy, I remember how you said having to tab twice was an annoyance, so I fixed it. Thanks for noticing :).
| 10 Mar 10, 20:02 CST
| Lily: I will be so free! Midterms will be done at 10AM Friday.
That actually sounds like a good idea, but I don't have enough time as it is. :(
| 11 Mar 10, 10:09 CST
| | Erwa: Agh, actually, we decided not to go. Alan's coming back home from New Haven tomorrow afternoon, so by the time he picks me up and we get to Princeton, it'd already be dinner time. Then he was planning to spend the night (and go to Rutgers on Saturday), whereas I'd need to take the train at night home, cause I need to get ready and be well-rested for my Saturday night/Sunday morning flight to Cali. The scheduling just didn't work out too well this spring break for me. But hey, didn't your family move to Baltimore, Lily? If so, you could hang out with Andy over break :).
| 11 Mar 10, 16:45 CST
| | Lily: Oh, well that's disappointing! Better make it up to me over the summer. :) Good luck on your interview...?
| 11 Mar 10, 20:06 CST
| | Andy: Her family moved to Baltimore County, iirc. I am spending spring break in NJ. The irony.
| 12 Mar 10, 07:33 CST
| | Lily: I'm actually in Prince George's county, if that means anything to you. (Sure doesn't to me!) I still think we might overlap somewhere, but at the moment I still haven't decided my travel plans.
| 12 Mar 10, 09:19 CST
| | Andy: Yeah it turns out you are actually like an hour away from where I live. Which is way too far.
| 12 Mar 10, 11:35 CST
| Erwa: Have you figured out what you'll be doing the summer and where you'll be living?
Nah, it's not an interview. I'm just job shadowing for a week at LeapFrog.
Oh, an hour is not too bad if there are public transit options or if you have a car. For me, that'd be like going to NYC, either from home in Jersey or from New Haven.
| 12 Mar 10, 14:05 CST
| Andy: Who are you directing your question to? Well I'm staying in Baltimore, hopefully getting a part time job along with research and making moneyz so I can have place to live next year.
I don't have a car, though perhaps public transit..? o_O
| 12 Mar 10, 19:33 CST
| Erwa: Oh, I intended my first question for Lily because whether I can visit her over the summer depends partly on her location. Like if she's in Germany, it'd be kinda tough to visit her lol.
<3 public transit. Greyhound all the way :D
| 12 Mar 10, 19:57 CST
| Andy: Who are you directing your question to? Well I'm staying in Baltimore, hopefully getting a part time job along with research and making moneyz so I can have place to live next year.
I don't have a car, though perhaps public transit..? o_O

| Lily: I also got a ton of sleep last night! I don't remember when exactly I slept, but I believe it was 11-12 or so. I didn't wake up once until 10:40, and I feel great! The reason is that I slept only 3 hours the night before and some small amount the night before that. Also, I drove for 3 hours straight from Princeton to MD that day, which is farther than I've ever driven in one go, I believe.
What is a reed trimmer?
I think I'd like to go to Germany, but even so, there should be time before and after. Have you thought about what you're doing yet? Andy, I actually passed by signs for JHU on my way up here. Are you on the way from Princeton to UMaryland?
| 15 Mar 10, 11:23 CDT
| Erwa: @nicolas: lol at spam.
@Lily: Whoohoo, spring break! Sleep to your heart's content :].
Sometimes, you find a good reed, but eventually, it wears down and the tone quality starts to degrade. To extend the life of the reed a bit, you can you use a reed cutter to shave a bit off the tip of the reed, making the reed thicker again and still preserving the curved shape of the top of the reed.
You totally should. I think Germany will be great fun.
I think I'm probably gonna be working at ITT in Clifton, NJ, during the summer, commuting daily from home. I'll be helping to test and debug defense-relating networking tools.
I'll probably be working from the beginning of summer all the way to the end, so I'll mostly be free only on the weekends. We'll have to coordinate a meeting once our schedules are more finalized.
| 15 Mar 10, 19:51 CDT
| Andy: Lily, I don't quite follow your question. I am not on the way from Princeton to Maryland. o_O
Germany is the sex.
Anthony, that sounds like a pretty sweet job. I'll probably be busy all summer too, save perhaps the last week or two. Let's meet up for sure then.
| 16 Mar 10, 09:07 CDT
| Erwa: @Andy: Lol at Germany comment.
Yeah, once we all figure out our schedules, let's definitely plan a get-together.
| 16 Mar 10, 11:06 CDT
| Lily: Ah, sorry that was unclear. I meant: is JHU on the way from Princeton to University of Maryland? Apparently I think soley in terms of colleges now. My house is about 5 minutes from UM.
Reed trimmers sound pretty cool. I was originally picturing you going out and, you know, chopping down a tree, and putting the wood through a machine that would trim out reeds for you. Though come to think of it, reeds are made of bamboo, aren't they?

| | Erwa: @Lily re reed trimmer: I think that's how the pros do it. I know many oboists (like Jeff Huang) make their own reeds because their double reeds are quite expensive. But most clarinetists and saxophonists just buy their reeds because they're fairly cheap. Or, for marching band and pit orchestra use, many musicians will buy plastic reeds, which last much longer than regular wood reeds.
| 16 Mar 10, 23:26 CDT
| | Andy: Yo what's up with this annoying spam from random noobs? Sys admin please put them in their place.
| 19 Mar 10, 06:38 CDT
| Erwa: Sorry about the spam :-/. Heh, I think the most typical spam filter is what's called a Bayesian spam filter - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_spam_filter - (uses Bayes's theorem) - but I don't really think it's worth my effort to try and implement a Bayesian spam filter.
Hmm...and it seems like the spam posts above are trying to avoid being caught by Bayesian spam filters by purposely avoiding phrases like "money" and "special offer" - their whole purpose seems to be the one link posted at the bottom. And I think it'd be difficult to filter spam based on links included unless there's a site with a list of spam sites. But even then, a spammer could just tinyURL-encode the link.
| 19 Mar 10, 16:29 CDT
| Lily: I hate to suggest this, but maybe a captcha? :| :| :|
Actually, maybe you could have a list of safe names who are allowed to post freely. And then in order to add a name to the list, you have to pass a captcha. I don't think you'll even need passwords.
| 20 Mar 10, 08:33 CDT
| | Andy: Wow you CS majors at work just blow me away. My mind has been blown.
| 20 Mar 10, 08:56 CDT
| Erwa: A captcha required for every post would probably be an effective spam filter but would be a tedious addition for legitimate posts.
Having a list of safe names could be vulnerable to spammers who just used a safe name (like Erwa, Andy, or Lily) to make their spam posts.
Another option would be to have a login system so you could only post if you were logged in to your account, but I think that's a bit overkill.
| 21 Mar 10, 00:48 CDT
| | Erwa: P.S.: Oh, and why do you "hate to suggest" a captcha, Lily?
| 21 Mar 10, 00:51 CDT
| | Andy: Today, the iPod that Anthony gave to me broke. The sound still plays, but I can't select the song. I suppose after two years of usage, it was bound to break at some point. I'll still hold on to it though. Put it away in my drawer.
| 21 Mar 10, 14:38 CDT
| | Erwa: Oh lol, so the keypad is broken or something? Is it currently set to play songs in random order? If the sound still works, I think it'd be kind of amusing to keep using, since you have no control over the song you choose.
| 21 Mar 10, 23:36 CDT
| | Andy: I can't start songs anyways, so it's just broken.
| 22 Mar 10, 12:02 CDT
| | Erwa: Whoo, got a 52/100 on my Databases midterm.
| 22 Mar 10, 20:50 CDT
| | Andy: Dude, I got a 69/100 on my Mech Prop midterm. Class is NOT curved.
| 23 Mar 10, 07:56 CDT
| | Erwa: Better pwn the final then :). What was the class average for the midterm?
| 23 Mar 10, 19:06 CDT
| | Andy: Class avg was a 71? Professor is giving us a retake so that we can do better. I knew all my shit, it was just all dumb mistake/panicking.
| 23 Mar 10, 19:38 CDT
| | Erwa: Oh, so you did about average. I totally know what you mean about dumb mistake/panicking - I get that feeling sometimes when I'm doing interviews and they expect you to code/solve brain teasers in front of them.
| 24 Mar 10, 21:07 CDT
| | Andy: Lol I hope I don't get owned by the retake too, that would be pretty fail.
| 30 Mar 10, 08:02 CDT
| | Erwa: U pro dude.
| 30 Mar 10, 13:23 CDT
| | ANDY: I R PRO SAUZ
| 30 Mar 10, 19:18 CDT
| | Erwa: I guess you basically poured that pro sauce all over the retake.
| 31 Mar 10, 02:47 CDT
| | Andy: I haven't taken the retake yet. But I will pour that pro sauce all over that retake. Good idea.
| 31 Mar 10, 03:22 CDT
| Andy: My chat with a friend regarding what happened to me:
(08:45:46) Andy: yo
(08:45:58) Andy: let me tell you the fail that i went through at 4 HOURS AGO
(08:46:05) Andy: so i am obviously awake
(08:46:07) Andy: and i'm like
(08:46:11) Andy: oh shit, got to get my laundry
(08:46:20) Andy: and i get into the elevator to go down to the first floor
(08:46:27) Andy: from five
(08:46:36) Andy: and then the elevator goes
(08:46:41) Andy: and it SHAKES
(08:46:44) Andy: on the 4th floor
(08:46:48) Andy: and i'm like wtf?
(08:47:03) Andy: and then it shakes again on the 3rd floor
(08:47:12) Andy: and then when the letters turn to 2
(08:47:15) Andy: it stops
(08:47:20) Andy: and i'm like. wow.
(08:47:24) Andy: you gotta be fking kidding me
(08:47:35) Andy: yeah

| 31 Mar 10, 07:54 CDT
| | Lily: Wow, guys use so much profanity when they talk to each other. /nature channel
| 31 Mar 10, 19:02 CDT
| | Erwa: Lol, I think it varies a lot depending on which two guys are talking. Like there are some guys I talk to who never swear, some guys I talk to where we like to talk in 1337speak, other guys where I'm more formal. Hey, I talk to a lot of girls who swear a lot, too.
| 31 Mar 10, 23:24 CDT
| Andy: That's strange. There were only 5 profanities in the conversation, and wtf cannot be considered profanity because you don't sound the f part out.
I am cutting down on my swearing though. :)
Last thing. Pro Sauce was poured, and it was HOT.
| 2 Apr 10, 11:45 CDT
| Lily: haha sorry, I didn't mean that to be so judgmental. I don't have anything against swearing, I was actually thinking of Andy's facebook status earlier, which seemed so uncharacteristic to me. I wonder how people behave when I can't see them. There are probably a lot of surprises.
PS. Andy, you were in my dream last night. Most of it was this crazy thing where electromagnetic werewolves and baracading ourselves in rooms, but there was this one quiet part where we were sitting around doing homework, and you just showed up. You were wearing a blue debate shirt that said like "debate", and then you were like "gosh it's cold" and you pulled over it a pink debate shirt that was like "OMG FINAL FOUR YEAH!!!". Those are not exact quotes.
| 3 Apr 10, 09:52 CDT
| Andy: Wait, which facebook status?
SWEET. that's pretty funny because friday morning at like 5:00 i was REALLY COLD. Today i used a pink shirt as a bath towel.
| 3 Apr 10, 20:50 CDT
| | Erwa: You two were clearly connecting at a subconscious level.
| 4 Apr 10, 01:50 CDT
| | Andy: I got a job working for a internet creative writing workshop site. I am excited.
| 8 Apr 10, 12:17 CDT
| | Erwa: Whoa whoa, I thought you were doing research at Hopkins over the summer? Where did this internet creative writing workshop site job come from? What will you be doing for the site?
| 8 Apr 10, 14:12 CDT
| | Andy: I am still doing research. It's just a part time job. I think I'll be doing a bit of writing and some development. Really flexible hours despite only 8 dollars per hour, so I think it is one of the best deals anyone can ask for. Besides, I'm basically being paid to learn something I like. Win!
| 9 Apr 10, 06:23 CDT
| | Lily: what site is it? can i join? =D
| 9 Apr 10, 13:37 CDT
| | Andy: No, you probably can't join. I just got hired; so I really don't have any position to ask. Also, you're not from Hopkins, and the leader plans to meet with everyone in person. The website is this: http://12writingworkshopsonline.com/
| 10 Apr 10, 07:39 CDT
| | Andy: After I am good friends with him though, I can probably ask. I actually thought about you when I was looking at this job, lol.
| 10 Apr 10, 07:40 CDT
| Andy: I missed a spot on the prosauce. :(

| 10 Jun 10, 15:18 CDT

| 11 Jun 10, 22:29 CDT
| | Andy: Today I was downloading VirtualBox and I noticed that they have switched to include Oracle in their name. So now its Oracle VirtualBox instead of Sun VirtualBox. I found that pretty amusing.
| 11 Jun 10, 22:34 CDT
| | Erwa: Haha. What are you using VirtualBox for?
| 14 Jun 10, 12:50 CDT
| Lily: omg I'm so behind on your entries.
Also, I shadowed at Sun literally the day before Oracle was taking over. Awkward?
| 21 Jun 10, 16:35 CDT
| Lily: Also, I brush my teeth before breakfast. I think the biggest reason for brushing when you wake up is to get rid of morning breath - not really annoying in your sleep, but you kind of don't want to deal with it any more than you have to while you're awake.
Do you think brushing after every meal is really necessary? I'd like to think that evolution has done a better job than that.
| 21 Jun 10, 16:52 CDT
| Erwa: No worries. I'm sure you were busy with finals and adventuring in Europe.
Cool. Which Sun location were you at?
Lol, I don't notice morning breath. No, I don't think brushing after every meal is necessary, nor do I do it - the only reason I might bring a toothbrush to work is to use brushing my teeth as a way to get off the computer and take a break.
Yo, I think by now we wouldn't even need to brush teeth at all, period. We should be like sharks and always have a backup row of teeth that will grow in if we lose any teeth.
| 21 Jun 10, 22:30 CDT
| Andy: See, the reason we haven't grown a backup row of teeth is because we keep brushing our teeth. So our evolution never adapts to not being able to brush and take care of our teeth.
I rinse my mouth when I wake up, then brush after.
| 21 Jun 10, 22:40 CDT
| lily: I was in NYC? It was a good time...
yooo stupid toothbrushing!!
although - what do you think is the purpose of milk teeth?
| 22 Jun 10, 02:39 CDT
| Erwa: I feel like the body should have adapted by now to replace teeth when we lose them, sort of like how our skin regenerates when we get cuts and burns.
Hmm, I might do the same. Do you use Listerine?
Did you shadow a developer?
Lol, I've noticed you've been saying "yooo" a lot recently. It sounds very Alan-esque.
Baby teeth are probably just to cause kids more pain and suffering. Iono. But probably more likely our head and mouth size increases, so we need bigger teeth to fill up our mouth.
