Manhattan Transfer John Dos Passos ( for the third time..! )

page 100 :

"C'est à peine si ses pieds pouvaient buter contre les longs V mirroitants et entrecroisés des rails. Il trébucha et tomba sur un faisceau de signaux. Enfin, il se trouva assis sur un quai, la tête dans les mains."




for you.... page # 7

Hehe, what a "charming grump" tongue It's only a couple more weeks before you head back now isn't it? I seem to remember him saying you go back 2 days before my birthday. Which reminds me, he asked me to remind him on a regular basis about that (my birthday, not you leaving!).

Ok, Page 100 = f(1) = 1 therefore (x - 1) is not a factor of f(x)

You can go to page..............32 smile

Yet the curve itself is infinitely long, as long as a Euclidean straight line extending to the edges of the unbounded universe....This paradoxical result, infinite length in a finite space, disturbed many of the turn-of-the-century mathematicians who thought about it. The Koch curve was monstrous, disrespectful to all reasonable intuition about shapes and - it almost went without saying - pathologically unlike anything found in nature

What she's confronted with here, she decides, is an extreme example of Japanese geek culture. Taki is probably the kind of guy who knows everything there is to know about one particular Soviet military vehicle, or whose apartment is lined with unopened plastic models.

Everyone who knows me knows the book is- A Year with Swollen Appendices, Brian Eno's 1995 diarybook:

Irial, very worried, said I shouldn keep one eye looking in front and one behind- 'so the gunners don't shoot you.' Poor thing was in tears- me too- to think I'd be in danger. I can't imagine I ever thought such things at five years old. Shows also that she's understood some things about the world since A. went there five months ago.

"A." is Anthea, Eno's wife. Irial his daughter. "There" is Croatia, April of '95. Eno was setting up a cultural center for (mostly Muslim) children in Croatia (since that's who was under persecution, although it was open to all ethnic groups). The Passengers album (U2, Pavarotti, DJ Howie B, etc.) was used to fund War Child, Anthea and Brian's aid project for Croatia and Bosnia.

oh, since I see the edit date here, use page 26

"That which is a blessing to nations is a bitterness to them: and as their existence depends on the duplicity of a country, they tremble at the approach of priciples, and dread the precedent that threatens their overthrow."

- from Rights of Man Thomas Paine

What am I currently reading? Geek material of course!

Programming Ruby

From page 100...

Finally, as an example of the wonderful expressiveness of combining regular expressions with code blocks, consider the following code fragment from the CGI library module, written by Wakou Aoyama. The code takes a string containing HTML escape sequences and converts it into normal ASCII. Because it was written for a Japanese audience, it uses the n modifier on the regular expressions, which turns off widecharacter processing. It also illustrates Ruby’s case expression, which we discuss startingonpage92.



Please return page 64.

Jezebel dispatched an agent to Phoenicia to aquire the contents of the observatory reliquary for a shrine she was having built in Samaria, capital of northern Israel.
Jerusalem was capital of southern Israel, known as Judah.
Isn't it true that there's always a rivalry between north and south? North and South Korea, North and South Vietnam, Northern and Southern Ireland, Yankees and Rebels, uptown and downtown. Somebody please tell me why that is? Maybe southerners get too much sun, like Mr. sock over there, frying his threads, and northerners don't get enough (although I hardly think northern Israel a cool spot in the shade), but southern peoples - tropical and downtown types - always seem to lean toward decadence, whereas uptown, in the north, progress is favored. Decadence and progess obviously are at odds.
