I am a wealth of misinformation. During a conversation with Billy and Jon about Apple V. Apple (music v. computer and, um, music) I said some things that I thought were true, but upon reading the NYTimes found they weren't.
Sorry.
I have been practicing for the past 1.5 hours on a typing tutor with dvorak and although I am not past the home rows, and my speed is consistantly below 30wpm, I feel like I am making progress and there is hope for me. I am just typing this little passage to make sure that my QWERTY skills have not degraded.
I think that I might have gotten faster, but it might be because I just took off the ankle weights (ya'know'whatImean...)
o.k. that was fun, welcome back partymode.
p.s. pc people, I got typing of the dead if anybody wants it.
HAHA !!1!!111
I just found out why partymode broke last night, and I feel like a dummy for not looking into the issue further...
botched ruby on rails upgrade

congrats eli!
I'm going to be busy as fuck all day tomorrow, but feel free to drop by whenever you like. i might enlist you to help me on my various projects.
Hurrah! Partymode returns... I felt so lonely without you.
Sorry I missed (Did I miss?) Dee's last night. Give me a call if you folks are doing anything later tonight (Settlers?). I should have tommorrow afternoon off so I am planning to drop by your folks' house around 3 to drink beer with Yann (If Yann wants to drink beer at 3?).
I also just got into University of Calgary, although I still haven't heard from Cornell. Grad school is totally exciting again.
ok, we are back. I don't know how I fixed it, so that probably means that it is going to break again. FCUK.
oh well, I hope everybody had a really productive day while this thang was down.
student attempts to spend spring break at walmart... I seem to recall reading about shorter attempts in the past, this one lasted for 41 hours.
youTube user remakes famous scenes with just himself and a camcorder.
oh, man, that sounds awesome. but i totally can't make it. take notes for me.
last post of the day for me, i think.
yann and jon, you guys might be particularly interested in maryanne amacher, who is coming to lecture today at 5pm in mcconomy. she makes "third ear music", which, when listened to at the proper volume, creates new sound out of played tones by vibrating your ear drums.
i don't quite grasp it, but thats why i'm going to the lecture.
so that should get out around 6:30, and then d's for dogs + beer and then settling.
To set the proper tone, this was a conversation about muscles:
me: shall I call you a plumber? ...cause those pipes are gonna burst.
jesse: haha (pause) no you should call me a doctor.
me: why?
jesse: cause of those pills i took.
