3/9     lookin' for purpose statement examples for computer science, thx
        \_ "Dewde!  Leik I wanna B a hakker!" got me in to Stanford.
           \_ "Dewde! Leik I'm MSCE certified and have wurked in the
              dot-com industry doing e-bizness, b2bi, b2c, and all that
              cool shit. Now unemployed cuz I didn't have any real skillz
              and played Q3A gamez all day so I want to go back to school
              and actually learn something"
        \_ I posted about this several weeks back and here is a URL that
           resulted from the ensuing discussions:
           http://www.cs.oberlin.edu/students/csmc/gradschool/sops.html
           I haven't written my letter of intent yet, but these examples
           put me in the right direction.
           Oh yeah, I'm planning to apply to the farm, but only because
           my company will pay. If I had to pay I'd go to Cal, UCSU or
           my company will pay. If I had to pay I'd go to Cal, UCSC or
           SJSU since I can't really leave the bay area at this point in
           my life.
           \_ What's UCSU?
              \_ I meant UCSC.

8/16    I just left my employer. They didn't ask to get their HW back.
        Is is common for employers to contact me a few months/years later
        and ask for their HW back?

12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up
        the computer science formalism that sets back compilers development
        back for at least a decade:

        \_ I tried to learn Perl but was scared away by it.  Maybe scripting
           lanauages have to be like that in order to work well?

7/13    Why would Yahoo store passwords unencrypted?  I recall that even 20+
        years ago the passwords stored in /etc/passwd on instructional
        machines here at Cal were one-way encrypted.  (I think those were
        Ultrix machines.)

6/9     I have a pair of Levi's jeans newly purchased (gift) and they are
        so damn thin I am afraid they might rip just going into the drier.
        WTF has happened to Jeans in the last few decades and which brand
        has the highest thickness to cost ratio?
        \_ I've been wearing Kirkland jeans from Costco for a few years.

11/20   Are there tools that can justify a chunk of plain ASCII text by
        replacing words with words of similar meaning and inserting/removing
        commas into the text?  I received a 40-line plain text mail where
        all the lines are justified on left and right.  Every word and comma
        is followed by only one space, and every period is followed by two
        spaces.  The guy is my kid's karate instructor which I don't think is
