Gigamatt: Behind the Code
So, havent had time to write much this week. Busy busy busy, both at work and in class.
One thing I've noticed is the freakiness of my current screensaver. In MacOS X, there's a "Screen Effect" called "Pictures Folder", which you can point at a directory (folder) and have it display every photo in that folder as a slideshow, which pans and scales the photos each a little bit, then crossfades into the next, in an endless loop.
The freakiness is that when I set it to my last camera download, it looks like I'm watching a "behind the music" of my life in July and August. Photos of my hometown, then of my trip North, the scenery, the cemetaries, my family, my friends. Freaky, I tell ya.
My life as a mocumentary.
Class last night was good. Fun, even if the sorority/volleyball chicks are too dumb to get it. Unfortunately, due to the amount of crime (and violent crime, and threat of such) on and around campus, we've all had to change the way we think about night classes. Walking in groups along well-lit paths, etc. I ended up escorting 2 girls across campus to their cars. You may be asking why. 1) Because they were scared, and 2) Because it was the right thing to do, and 3) Because all of the current campus escorts and student security services are overloaded.
I even got a compliment from the graduate assistant. In his lispy voice, he said I was taller and beefier than him and I'd be much better equipped to handle an attacker. (I almost laughed. Really.)
I think I will have lots of snippets for either T-Stories, Beans, or some new concoction on Reaching.org. That site needs some updating, to be sure. I hope her founder is doing ok.
