Anyone who leaves Purdue for the summer probably doesn't realize summer is monsoon season is Greater Lafayette. Just as long as you don't leave an apartment on the levee or otherwise not on higher ground, you're probably fine ( Read more... )

The light level outside earlier was amazing. It was the kind of light that would be irritating to read by, but awesome for looking at things or going places. You only get that level of light in the summer, and only at times when it seems like the sun should have already gone down. It's probably somewhere between the point at which the sunset ( Read more... )

Today I tried out most of the parts we scavenged last night. I don't think either of the processors work, but both of the heatsink/fan combos do, as well as the case with power supply and CD-ROM. If anybody has a spare socket 478 processor they want to loan or give me I can test the P4 mobo, but failing that it will probably sit. I need some ( Read more... )

When mel and I got back from the store, we saw a computer case sitting next to the dumpster. I thought nothing of it until I remembered I hadn't yet taken the old cases I planned to junk out there, since I still need to pull useful parts out of them. We noticed it had an optical drive of some sort, which caught our attention, since a spare ( Read more... )

I took my Russian Lit final today, and I think it went pretty well. This afternoon is Physics 411, which I'm hoping to pass this year, and then Friday is Quantum, which should be pretty awesome. After that, I go see leabfish graduate, and then it's on to summer. My mom sold her house, so I want to try to get something together before she moves in June ( Read more... )

I never update. Yeah. Pretty much. I've got an apartment with dragon_wings now. It rocks. She rocks. I've got a phone now. Get a hold of me online if you want the number. I figure if I give enough people the number, eventually somebody will call me. Although I probably ought to talk about what's going on, the real point of this entry is to let ( Read more... )

Yeah. I'm just going to go ahead and mention what's going on now, since too much stuff happened to really bother with it. I'm working Monday and Wednesday dinner as the southwest doorchecker. That means I sit there and swipe people's card when they come in. It's pretty cool. This semester, though, the southeast dining room had its hours ( Read more... )

I guess I don't really post much. Lately I haven't even been good at keeping up with other people's. This semester is busy. Adam and I are doing a radio show again, this time on Thursday from 9:30-midnight at WCCR. Listen, if you want, and IM WCCRPurdue to request songs. Also, I'm coming to Richmond sometime tomorrow. At Purdue, another ( Read more... )

I suppose I ought to update more often. Most of my summer was spent working. I worked as many as ten meals a week in the cafeteria, and still tried to squeeze in twenty hours of physics a week too. The physics was fun. The cafeteria got tiresome after a while. Maybe it was because I worked there so much. Maybe it was because they made me wear ( Read more... )
