A New Post

I am now going to update the blog. Fair warning, it will be spotty posting for a while. Now that I am no longer at school I don’t have regular internet access. I don’t want to do to much at work other than check email, and I feel guilty about stealing from the people who live around me and haven’t realized they are sharing their service with the world.

On top of that my computer seems to be having some trouble with wireless. I haven’t figured out if it is the wireless card or the browser, but something keeps crashing my computer. I thought I had fixed the problem, but apparently not.

ON WITH THE BLOG!!



OK, for all of you that loved the monkey once, only to berate me for leaving it up for your enjoyment…..
What you see here is an image of Jubilaem, or liquid courage. It is a bottle of akvavit that helped steel my nerves for the thesis presentation. Don’t tell, but I broke the no drinking before noon policy. Its not my fault they scheduled me to present at 9am.

The presentation went great, except I started with an old version of the power point and didn’t notice until several slides in when the screen went black except for the words “insert image here.” Fortunately I was able to switch over to the correct version and keep rolling. The feedback was good, and I received several comments from professors later who had heard about it. All and all a great experience. Now I’m just waiting for a little slip of paper to come in the mail, telling me its all official.

...but I saw a commercial where the hip guy who is a mac says that macs don't crash... Now I'm all confused.

I'm glad you posted again! No More monkey wearing glasses! At least for a week or so, huh?

Ah but Jay, the incidence of Macs crashing relative to the incidence of Microsoft-based computers crashing is so infinitesimal, one might as well make the claim that they don't crash at all.
