God I feel like crap. I really shouldn’t be going anywhere. Course, I’ll go to work and spread this around to everyone else, fun fun fun. I think the cough throat lung thing is gone and I’m left with just a really good cold. Nose is raw and dripping, and if it were possible to […]

snark According to the doc I went to (on the advice of Engel who went to his doc) I have bronchitas, or something like that. I have some antibiotics to kill off any bad side effects, but other than that I just get to sit around resting and coughing up lovely phlem. At least my

Next on the list of Corporate Whores is another sad one for me, as Frankie Muniz [archive.org link] who was sighted whoring out to some snackfood company that uses blue tinfoil…. ah how the mighty have fallen. Wow, Boston Public [archive.org link], one of the only TV shows I try to catch on a consistant

Well, today started off pretty poorly. I took A to the airport to go off to visit a friend of hers in .ab.ca for a week, and the flight with the good deal left at 7:30am. Yikes. So I figured “I’m up already, why not just head into work to do some of the stuff

This morning was the first morning in a while that I’ve really felt like death. I think I’m getting the cold/throat thing that people at the office were getting, which really isn’t fair in my opinion, as I had a throat thing a couple of weeks ago. Course back then it wasn’t making me feel

Had a decent squash game this morning. Unfortunately we’re not at the stage where we can actually have a “real” game and have fun. We’re beyond the point of walking to get the ball every time you hit it, but not quite good enough to compete. I had a good discussion with Del about Microserfs‘

The above is a quote from Neil Stephensen’s novel Cryptonomicon [archive.org link], which I started reading again after some rave reviews from Silverstr [archive.org link] and Foz. The quote is in reference to mail encrypted with such a high form of encryption that it would take centuries to break, and in response to the question
