My Desired Course Plan

For once… I have a plan.   but obviously, my plan is contingent on a few things, such as my department not fucking me over and my new advisor being of a higher caliber than his predecessor (shouldn’t be too hard). Also, chances are, in reality, because I want to actually have some fun during […]

A Little More Registration Drama

Got a new email from my old advisor this morning, telling me that to get my PIN I should call her between 1PM and 4PM on the 14th. Umm… ok, why did you not email it when you got it? And what’s this call thing? I was told I could get my PIN by e-mail. […]

Selectively Screwed

The semesters are now open for registration, but I was not issued a PIN, which is required for registration, therefore, I can not register, but other people can. I have e-mailed my department and requested a new advisor. I hate when this shit happens 🙁

Registration Anxiety

I am always eager for registration to open, its just something I do, I like being the one to devirginize a course and takes its first seat. Due to problems mentioned in the previous post, I do not even know if I will be able to register for classes, but I am sure going to […]

From Frustrated to Pissed

I know that sometimes when I am dealing with people I get frustrated too early with things like slow processes or anything that takes time and requires human attention, but now I feel that I have a right to be, at least when it comes to Fayetteville State University. Registration opens in about 10 hours, […]

SSD Installed

My Dell Mini 9 now has a 16GB SSD and 2GB of RAM, and it is running Windows XP Professional (luckily Microsoft licensing stupidities do not apply once a consumer has possession of the device). It is somewhat faster than before, and the drive certainly makes me feel more like I can actually install software […]

Self-Analysis Graded

The grade on my self-analysis paper came back this morning. I received 49 out of a possible 50 points. The primary comment that the instructor left was “Your paper was a pleasure to read”. My thought there when I read that was, “really? I guess I should read it some time”. I do not believe […]

Finally! My SSD Ships

Just got a message that my 16GB SSD for my Dell Mini 9 has shipped! 🙂 It has been well over a month since the drive was ordered, and only one place sells them, so I had no choice but to wait, but it is finally on its way, expected by Saturday 🙂 Woohoo!

RFC turns 40, Postel dis’d

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/opinion/07crocker.html?_r=1 Stephen D. Crocker is a disrespectful ass. He has written this quite lovely document about the RFC series, and mentions “I offered to organize our early notes.”. Yes, Crocker “offered” to organize the early notes, but Jon Postel was the RFC Editor, he is the one who actually organized them. Nice revisionist history lesson […]
