dirt behind the daydreams
Success!
Brian very kindly humored me and spent a while this afternoon figuring out how to let my computer be a webserver to the rest of the world (shhh, don't tell Cox), so you can all come over and see my brand new journal at

Three cheers for MovableType!
My new journal is up until sometime later tonight at http://68.0.179.5:81/~jesse/blog/.

he's gone into the light of a different world
Internet fixed today. Apparently a four-day absence is enough to alarm people; I guess I understand this, but, I thought it was funny when Christina called and told me that I'd "fallen off the face of the earth" -- remind me why I just spent $100 on a cell phone ( Read more... ) -
It's been a century of answers and all of them have been wrong
Yesterday I had the delightful surprise of discovering some actual career-related ambition. I've been following it up this morning, looking for computational linguistics jobs. I always just assumed you can't get a linguistics job without MA and PhD degrees, but that looks like not the case at all ( Read more... ) -
Things I learned this morning
1. It's annoying when someone excludes you from confidences you used to be entitled to.
2. It's even more annoying when someone cuts short every discussion when you have the temerity to express an opinion.
