question from the floor:
what are 'Geneva questions'?
I too was very confused about this for a while. But then I realized she meant Geneva as in the name of a person... who I gather was the person who previously held the job position.

auxilary statement:
dunno who Tala is. beats me.
Apparently she knows Eli too. Had a class with him or something... I dunno. But then again who DOESN'T eli know? So that's not any help.

secondary question:
are you sure it's Cara and not Claira?
Not entirely. Are you just fucking with me? Kuz if you think it's Claira you may be right, but if you're just fuckin with my head, then I think it's Cara. Watch it end up being neither.

closing statement:
way to go buddy, you're on Tony's Team now!
Who, me? What? What are you talking about? Tony? Help me out here...

the whole 'Geneva question' thing made me laugh... once it stopped confusing me.
Geneva is my predecessor at ECOS, the one who had an incredibly maddening intuitive
understanding of things and didn't write everything down as a result (two years at the
post will do that to you). This, however, brings me into some glaring problems as I do not
yet have that intuitive sense of the position and do not have things written down to guide me.
So, in further explanation, asking Geneva questions is in the hopes of getting Geneva to answer them.
;)

wow, energetic kids can really knock the steam out of you.
It's a good thing I've already put in my 6 hours today.
I think I'll go home and have a nap.

It's great when you get an error like this (emphasis is mine):


golupc_dist.c:17: array dimension is not a simple multiple of THREADS


And the line in question is


int current[1*THREADS][M];



Apparently 1*THREADS is not a simple multiple. I'm not sure what constitutes a simple multiple, but 1 times a number isn't it.

Oh, and in response to the question from the floor, a "Geneva question" is a question directed at the person, Geneva. (It makes more sense in context.)

And Alison, in fact, the iMac has a "unique" fanless design. Of course, if crashing is a problem, you have way too much time on your hands, and your skin burns when you enter natural lit settings, you can always try a google search on modding that iMac.

Well, I can confirm that it's Albert who leaves those messages. He told me as much himself.

Alison, they have pills for that. Some form of muscle relaxant. It only treats the symptom of course...

And finally, Taylor, who really cares how good this other guy is. Life isn't one massive comparison to other people. The negative thoughts swirling around in your head about how good your art is, is just a relative thing. I know that I could never begin to compare anything I've ever done to even your 15 minute doodles.

also:
who is leaving all the empty, un-named, unmarked messages?

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't there a 3:1 going on it being Mr. Albert, no?

well Ed, if I were in systems, then that would definitely work.
but seeing as I'm not, and I'm now the "expert" in this area, it'd be mean to just resign like that
plus I don't think I actually can just resign like that... now that the contract has been signed.
but I shall keep it in mind for any future mishaps. I didn't actually want to resign from the whole
job, just the hard, frustrating stuff. And I think I can now figure out the budget, so really, it's all
about things like the projects that I didn't know I had such responsibility for. ... like the Bike Centre,
where all our volunteers have gone on vacation and left a hideous greasy mess in a large "temporary"
space that I must now clean up. FUCK! And like the naturalization project that has me weeding with
kids (very enthusiastic, and i must say they've restored my faith in humanity) and planning everything
from planting and landscape design to sandbox construction. (sandbox construction? I don't think so)

Anyway, I must go now, so that I can start planning this afternoon's weeding exercises.
woo hoo!

Oh, and Par, it appears as though my Mac does have a fan, so I don't know what Sam was talking about.
maybe their office just gets really really hot and the database computers overheat. she said they crash a lot.
or maybe they're using iMacs and the eMac is different so I can't really say for sure what's up.

So, this is the first time I get to check this board in almost 11 days...


... I think I'll read it later.

Back in the city on friday

What would you do if you had to travel a planet in 90 days and condense the results into 90 seconds? If you said drive around, swing your arm, and look closely at rocks, then your name is Spirit, and you're not supposed to be reading this, you're supposed to be on Mars slowly dying.

Alison, I think you should resign... and use this:

Letter of Resignation
