A brief post

I'm in Chicago again, finally away from home. Like every start-of-the-quarter, life is good right now. There are many sources of general goodness, and so there's a lot of stuff that I could put into this post (as in, I've deleted and written totally different sentences to go in this space about 5 times), but I'm lazy, so I'm just going to tell a ( Read more... )

Ooh! I should definitely hang up my green MC06 shirt on my wall. Something happened to the symbol on the front when it was being laundered, so it looks less awesome to actually wear, but it would still make an awesome wall decoration! Also I only have 3 things hanging on my wall right now so that side of the room looks barren compared to my roommate's.

Each night before 10, campers have to sign-in with the staff telling us that they A) exist, and B) will not leave the area immediately around the dorms until sunrise tomorrow (unless they are with staff, relatives, etc).

That straw hat I had last year? Yeah, that was the sign-in hat from MC '08. All of the silly attachments had been removed, but it was still the same hat.

Oh yeah, that was the hat of thinking-about-things-other-than-fields! Fortunately, I still have the unicorn-of-smiling, so not all is lost.

Totally unrelated, but the CS lab appears to have gotten totally new Linux machines (with new names). That's why the old machines were down. I seem to recall one of the new ones being named bellatrix, but I can't ssh into it right now, so I'm not sure if they aren't configured for ssh or what...
