I realized a while ago that Google is in a tough spot. Theyre under attack because of some (very legitimate) privacy concerns. On the other hand, I understand their desire for information as a researcher (computer scientist makes me feel funny).
I think some limits for privacy concerns are pretty clear to. For example, their <a href=http://www.google-watch.org/optin.html>opt-in for search engines idea is blatantly stupid....

I actually woke up in time to take my 8am final this morning. It was absurdly easy; I breezed through it in under an hour, drawing stick figures and leaving silly notes along the way. I made a point of labeling all pages that can be safely eaten by the grader (without destroying any of my answers) with comments like "Yum! It's new! and thread-safe!"...

Whew, I'm glad they changed my name to "Steve" for that commercial--I told them I didn't want my real supervillian name used until the Pentagon concedes to my demands.
Welcome to my little piece of the SG Army, sir!

I spent an hour playing with JennRoses sexual innuendo magnetic poetry set and this is what I made:

smooth entry
to her channel

nothing wrong with that. I think that rules.
If you'd like a holiday card from me, just send me an address somehow. Use the contact tab or pick something from my LiveJournal info. If you want to stick to just e-mail, I'll send yoou an image of some sort.
My weekend has certainly been interesting. I didn't read fun books, as planned, but I did do other fun things.
Friday night, I spent a while chatting with igrokme and paganconspiracy at Town Hall (a bar) and then Plato's Diner. It was good and interesting.
Last night, I went to a shadow cast performance thingy of <i>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</i> for the first time....

hmmmm... i'll have to keep that bluetooth stuff in mind as I plan on buying a new computer... someday.
You hadn't seen 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' yet?
WHAT?!?! Madness, utter madness man!
at least that's been rectified.

I'm at this point where most of my friends have decided that they don't like other friends of mine, and it's all messy and junk. It wouldn't bother me as much if all of them didn't feel the need to give me advice about it.
Add to that the whole continuing debate about whether or not I'm bi, or datable at all, and I think...

I'm sending a message to the SG staff to ask about fixing up the site. I'm not dong a redesign, just improving the current one and the code behind it.
My major goals, so far:
*Correct handling of special characters, particularly backslashes
*Improve the damn text entry stuff so it removes HTML the first go-around or not at all, etc.
-Support more markup
-Possibly add...

..thanks for your help in the MAC group 
BTW, I think some of your ideas would be good to follow up on and the other I have no clue what your talking about...Im a newbie
"
Add threading (if you reply to someone you'll vreate a thread. This should encourage conversations)
*Add some sort of comment notification (e-mails? recent comments page?)
*Clean up the comment/discussion interface (put edit and reply in consistently?)"

Threads as in "threads of conversation." when you reply to someone, your repply appears indented to set it apart from the main thread.
The idea of comment notification is basically to let you know whenever someone replies to a post or comment of yours. This isn't such a big deal with journal entries (there's the comment counter), but as it stands it's hard to keep track of topics in the groups and forums.
About the interface stuff ... when you want to edit a journal entry, you have to go to the update page. But if you want to edit a comment, it's right there in the upper right hand corner. I reply link is only available in the forums and groups. This stuff should be consistent.

I posted some photos of me self to the pics section (folder "nekkid"). I'm not much of a fan because 1) I took the photos myself and 2) well, it's myself, ya know. Anywho .... enjoy?

love you need to get me to take the pics of you... but wooow.. sheesh... you went all out. i love the rope!! great colour! 
atrus:
sorry, but it was just me and the camera at the time :p
An outline of my day:
-Tested out RXTX (serial port support for java). It works, but I couldn\u2019t get to the RFID reader/writer I'm supposed to be working with.
-Submitted another ebuild.
-Listed my iPod for sale.
-Wrote an assload of (untested) code for the filesharing plugin. All the junk dealing with mapping virtual directories to actual ones (and listing their contents) is...
