12/2    What is more difficult, taking classes through SITN (SCPD) or formally
        applying for it (then eventually, take classes as a real student)?
        \_ The process of applying is definitely a lot more difficult than
           just taking NDO. You still need 3 letters of rec (2 must be from
           professors who know you well), you still need to take GRE, and
           you still need to write a Statement of Purpose.
                up units.  Since it's just a master's I don't think it's a big
                deal.   With Cal grades I'm not going to chance trying to get
                in the real way.  -brain
        \_ Huh?
           \_ What, you've never heard of sitn ans scpd.  They're quite
              promulent words.
        \_ I hear getting into HCP is a total breeze.  Start on NDO and build
           up units.  Since it's just a master's I don't think it's a big deal
           deal. With Cal grades I'm not going to chance trying to get in the
           real way.  -brain
           \_Yermom lets me in the real way.
        \_ what does SITN (SCPD), HCP, and NDO stand for?
           \_ If you have to ask, you don't know.
           \_ they're all stanford acronyms.  Stanford Instructional Television
            Network, Stanford Center for Professional Development,
            Non Degree Option, Honors Cooperative Program.  They're all ways
            to get your company to pay for your Master's degree.

12/26   Mail is being retired, but will mail still be forwarded if we have
        a .forward? Also, _why_ is mail being retired?
        \_ one more yreason i only hire stanford grads from now on
           \_ Like you have any real hiring decision power.
        \_ don't recall seeing a discussion on this.  it would be nice if mail
           service remains.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

8/10    Check this out. I went to Google Maps, typed in Pasadena then Animal Shelter.
        The first few items are "Caltech Housing", for students. I tried this for
        other cities like Berkeley and got real animal shelters. Is this some kind
        of lame geek joke from Caltech fraternity students?
        \_ Learn to format properly. Caltech doesn't really have fraternities,
           they have "houses" which are sort of like dorms, co-ops and frats
