Robin/keith

What are you talking about? I don't understand what the quote is about. Maybe I am just overtired and am no longer able to comprhened very well. Anyways, is anyone going out drinking on THursday cause I would be really down with that? Until then I will be working on school work that I am not really interested in, which is never fun.

Keith, why don't you start a journal, so I can learn more about you than I was able to gather form the bathtub. HAHA!

A Year Ago

Does anyone remember original site? I found a screen capture of Terry and I's journals from the original site. I don't knwo where the one for Matthew's is. It had clownfish on it. Wow its seems like ages ago. I guess it was only a year though, well more than a year now.

I really should have had a 1 year party, but unfortunately it was the same day as Matthew's birthday. Some of you might remember that the site started as a countdown to his Birdthay.

Anyways, he did not want a party for his birthday - so I couldn't have one for the site. And you'll might remember the weirdness of being invited and uninvited. Sorry, it was a miscommunication.

Maybe we need a party in June? OR a scavanger Hunt, trisha - you still there?

I can't believe how insecure wireless is

I can never decide if I should shut the network and remain safe or share and be a good person. It makes me insane to think about what information flies around this laptop. How about when you check your email. Check out what gets sent clear text

+OK Hello there.
USER paul
+OK Password required.
PASS xxxzzzxxx
-ERR Login failed.

I used the wrong password so the login failed but if I had the right pasword typed in, not only would it log me in, it would display the password across the network.

This is my new vaio mini-top

I already wrote about the mini Vaio that I got from Holly. Its only 300mHz but it runs Suse 8.2 well and I can code and surf the internet on it. Plus it only weighs about 800 grams. Here it is with Tina using it. I ordered some new parts that should come early this week.

The Digi-Swan

Has you'll heard about "The Swan." HEre is the web site

It is a new show on Fox televsion where two women "transform" each week with the help of plastic surgery and then compete to get into a beauty contest. It is truly insane.

However, I am waiting for is the cyborgian version of this show. I would be the first to admit that I need a little digital enhancement. How about a flash card slot in my forehead. Then after all of the digital enhancements, the contestants could have a network query or compilation contest. Fastest wins.

Check out new audio journal

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

This is a great way to record a situtaion and talk about it. My example sucks, because I am not really doing that. I am simply talking fo rthe sake of talking. My mother bought us DDR for Christmas but it was on backorder and such and just arrived today. I was refering to DDR. the playstation 2 game, that is what I meant by machine validated danicing. It feels confining and lacks the intrinsic freedom that real dancing provides. However, it is slightly addictive.

At first when I added audio journlas in mp3 and wav format I got nervous that epopel would simply talk and stop writing. That would suck because then nothing would be searchabel and people could not quickly read a journal. They would have to wait through all the ums and pauses. I thought however, it is an important step in developing the elmwood sound database. It was also a way for people to eventually be able to tie their cell phones into their journals. Have fun with it. For now the limit is 100k. It might go down to 75k or up. WHo knows, I will have to see.

Cats Tend to make my life suck

Cats- Someday they will kill me.

One time in Italy I almost dies because I stopped breathing and my lungs filled up with blood. I am so alergic to cats that I often get allergic in crowds becasue so many people have them. So wehn I am not out tonight, everyone will know the cats made me stay away.

There have been so many events during the last ten years that have been so fucked up due to cats being on earth. I am sorry for all you cat lovers but I hate them and would dance in the streets if they were all rounded up and exterminated.

Elmwood was so alive today

The noises from elmwood were so intense today. Even more so than yesterday, although yesterday was warmer. Today had the Friday advantage. People seemed so alive after being freed from the constraints of winter lifestyles in Buffalo. You could hear people laughing and singing, bikers with bells, children yelling, dogs barking, music in all the open windows of the cras. I realized that we actually live in the perfect location to record the sounds of elmwood onto a CD. Considering that the sounds of elmwood are rather limited except during the 4 months of summer, it might make an interesting compilation.

For people who do not live in Buffalo. Unfortunately, I can't say it is much different than the noises of any medium size city in which you have open windows in cars and houses. Here that noise of the interepenetrating realities becomes music to our silence over-exposed winter ears.

Gotta jet as so Terry and I can pick up Robin and head on down to see Soyeon's newest installation at the Ceepa gallery. I will post pictures when we get back.

My first Linux mini-top entry

This is my first journal entry written from the mini-top (super-mini laptop) that I inherited through Holly. It is not the Vaio from my previous journal entry but another vaio, equally as small, just a little older. After about 18 hours of intense work, I was able to get everything up and running on it. It is a dual boot Windows XP pro/ Suse 8.2. I added a 40 GB drive, bought new RAm, and ordered a new battery. I even got the wireless usb dongle to work, which wa smore of a feat than you can imagine. You may finally see me out and about on elmwood once the battery arrives as this will allow me to work on the go.

Holly told me that she typed a short story using this device over a summer. I cannot imagine typing a short story, as my fingers are already freaked out typing just this journal entry on such a small keyboard. However, I think coding should be fine as it is not as repetitive. Or maybe its more repetitive, thank god for the bluetooth keyboard, as if I did not already have enough cancer rays flying through my personal space!
