Went shopping in Sangolqui today, which is a little outside Quito. Andean farmers markets are awesome. |
@avibryant I am somewhere warm... but it sounds like I missed some epic snow. |
Assignment of seats and airplane boarding procedures are... suboptimal. You'd think optimizing it would create competitive advantage. |
packing... gah |
@farmstead I was briefly disappointed, but it's not like they went *way* down. Doubt we'll be fooled into thinking "back to normal." |
Anybody know a good registrar? They can't *all* suck. |
Walking to work, ipod plays Rat Race, Concrete Jungle, Matrix theme etc as soon as I get downtown. Think it's trying to tell me something. |
Last night I started moving my mail domain over to GMail on the theory that they're better at hosting a mail server than I am. Um... yeah. |
@attaboy I definitely agree that obsession with sovereignty is detrimental to the interests of francophone Quebecois. |
@attaboy I've never lived in QC, so it comes as a surprise to me that sovereigntists are identified with progressivism. |
Guess FOSS experience isn't very valuable to Indian students. But then why would they want an obscure Smalltalk IDE on their résumé? |
Since I'm not a prof, I explain that OB is open source and invite them to contribute. I offer to provide free mentoring. No takers so far. |
It's not spam. The cover letter describes appropriate research interests and relevant experience. If I had a lab, I'd hire some of them. |
My name is on exactly one CS paper, but around end-of-semester I get resumes from Indian students who are keen to intern at my lab. |
@farmstead Cestus makes me think, "brass knuckles." Is that the effect you were looking for? |
Now in the final countdown to my trip to Ecuador. Leaving Thursday, gone a month. Will be awesome, but preparation sucks. |
Will responsible party hosts of the future make you hand over your cell phone as well as your car keys? |
Note to self: don't mix alcohol and twitter. |
@danudey In my experience, getting a passport is easier/faster than a new citizenship card. End of Dec, without extra $ should be easy. |
Lunch coma... Wish I didn't have to drive. |
