I know that two of the campus networks at Grant MacEwan are named 'Ren' and 'Stimpy'.

isn't there also one named 'gandalf'? I'm pretty sure there was...

Andy Kaufman?

apparently question 1 was answered before I finished my post. damn. I hate it when that happens.

For those of you who have followed F1 in the past couple of years, from TSN.ca:


"[Jacques Villeneuve] is also entertaining," mused [David] Coulthard. "If you tell him that a corner is almost flat then he is the guy who is going to try to take it flat, even if it means shunting it the other side of it. He will come with the data and say 'hey, I may have crashed and destroyed the car, but I was flat-out'. That is an interesting quality that he has."



I guess this explains the no-finish seasons he kept having. Well, I didn't finish a race, but did you see me pull out that corner?! Imagine the surgeon Villeneuve: "I may have killed every patient, but that incision was a work of art."

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?
