CFA or hospital

Does the CFA at UB remind anyone else of a hospital or insane asylum? If so, who picked hospital aesthetic and thought it was a good idea? More importantly, what is the connection between aesthetic and anaesthetic?

Dishes

I decided I am going to throw out the dishes. It may seem extreme but it works. We will each have one dish and one cup in addition to one fork, one spoon and one knife. We wil never have more than 20 things to wash. Guests, you can bring your own and take them home with you.

I guess this is the kind of angry son of a bitch I become when I forget my computer power supply at school. I had so much stuff to work on and now I am reduced to doing dishes. What a waste. Why even bother with all this education crap, if I still have to resort to doing dishes. I hate dishes. I just want enough money to never have to deal with dishes or laundry again.

The swan and snowflakes

Yes i am still up working on haikus and snowflakes.

The snow flakes are an experiment in alternative menus. They aree just in their infant phase. Being simple ASCII text they are very low impact. You can "shovel" the whites up by clicking them. The red ones turn them off for that session. The orange one produces haiku's using an eleborate formula. The green one animates them which is autpaused while you are typing a journal entry to make it less distracting. Full winter effects for the site will be avaiable soon, flakes willl only come out when it is snowing after I get some time to fnd a better weatehr feed. I previously using the NOAA feed at

but it only reported overcast for today, even though it definately snowed.

It seemsunreal at this point. What else seems unreal is The Swan. (e:holly) knows more about this show than anyone. She presented about it at a conference in Montreal. It is a reality TV show for plasric surgery

. (e:terry) said he thinks that this is a worse indictation of what our society has turned into than the election of George Bush. Personally, I would love to see a presidential makeover reality show, where the president gets a political makover.

This is what erica went through.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

This is what I am suggetsing for Mr. Bush: To start out with we need a social welfare understanding booster. We would have to take some of the fat away from oil industry and add it back to the poor. Then maybe a reduction in the sagging defense buget proposals followed by aggresive, radical braiin augmentation.

PS (e:twisted) is the best beta tester in the world.

Translation

I was working a a translatorclass for my poetry projects when I stumbled upon this error at a site.

It was not entered a phrase to let you remind your password

I found it a perfectly ironic end to my search for help with translation.

Poetry at it most reduced

I have seriously been working all day on my haiku project. It is now like 500 lines of code and insanely complicated but they are starting to sound better.

everybody(5) (5) , increasingly(4) rummaging(3) (12) , doleful(2) believing(3) (17) .

procrastinator(5) (5) , sometimes(4) excited(3) (12) , scarred(2) probably(3) (17) .

I like this one but it is a failure cause homogenized only has 4 syllables.
homogenized(5) (5) , elementary(5) scraping(2) (12) , frozen(2) working(2) few(1) (17) .

Good Night - Bad Night

[size=m]GOOD[/size]
I met (e:twisted) in Second Life tonight

. She signed in as (e:estrip) who now has a makeover.

The good news I got to hang out with (e:twisted) who is otherwise separated from me by about 3,000 miles. Maybe she will get a job out of it and everything will be good - go QA!

[size=m]BAD[/size]
On the downside, check this out (e:chris), I found out that someone stole my latest greatest idea. I have been thinkng about this for months and kept sitting on it without moving, as it is with every idea except this site, argh! Someone has opened ATM machines in secondlife

where you can take out real money and a site where you can trade money to match

Why am I such an anti-magnet for anything profitable. Please somebody find me a job that involves web rogramming and porblem solving but makes money and is part of a fn team. Better yet find me an investor for my site.

100 million? 880 million? More?

Ok, the market in Simoleans, Linden Dollars, Hammers of Kick Ass, and whatnot are big -- we knew that -- but just how big. Just a couple days ago The New Scientist ran an article quoting Ted Castronova as putting the world wide sales of game currency etc. at 100 million (and also quoting some guy named Ludlow about this being a glimpse into the future -- whatever that means). Now, in his talk at State of Play, IGE President Stephen Sayler put the number at 880 million -- and he is certainly in a position to know. We are rapidly approaching a billion dollar market.

I sold 1/2 of my second life

fortune for $121.00 in real life at 4:00am. What a thrill. It made me so happy to have real money from a fake world. Now it seems profitable but I could just kill myself for the thousands of Linden dollars I gave away because I thought they were totally worthless at the time.

If you join secondlife, please go through this

as I some get credit.

Buffalobarfly.com

I know it's hard to see in this pic but Buffalobarfly.com has a banner just like the estrip banner on a house across from cozumel. I think we started a trend. Thanks again (e:jill) for the sewing.
