First day of classes.... it went pretty well. My calculus class which was about half full got turned into a multivariable calculus class with no students due to budget limitations, so the professor's going to get paid for teaching multivariable calc to nobody instead of single variable to 14 students.

...Buh.

I took another section with the same professor. Problem solved.

To make a silly equation, I have an overwhelming urge to place one thing within another wherein it does not belong:



+

=
lulz.


The orientation office unblocked our storage room again, so I was able to get back there and find... voila... a pile of old Hell Opticraps. Some may be functional, but none are good enough to use anymore... therefore, I'm going to AKTIV - SCHAUM the worst of them. Yes, this will be posted to Youtube, because there aren't nearly enough videos of people destroying annoying electronics on there.

Meanwhile, I leave you all with the Inflata-Sphinx:



Yeah, I know it's a big panther-arch-thingy, but it looks a bit like the Sphinx, with a better nose... doesn't it?

Hey, those Opticraps aren't bad. I had a GN+ (233 MHz Pentium MMX) as my mail server/shell box for years, up until I replaced it with an Ultra 10 running OpenBSD.

Well, ok, they're not bad unless you actually try to use:
  • Graphics

  • Audio

  • The keyboard and mouse ports

  • Any aftermarket replacement parts (nonstandard PSU pinout!)


In other words, wow, they do make perfect low-end servers o.o

Hey, I still don't know for sure whether I'll be driving out there this weekend. All we see over here on the news is doom and gloom and flooding, so some first-hand information would be nice. If it comes down to it, I can send you the $$$ to crate it up and ship it via Fed-Ex Freight or something. Also, Houston to Orlando is a little over 16 hours.. I don't s'pose I could bribe you north to Tallahassee?

I dunno, Talahassee is a bit of a stretch for me. I'd rather do it in a way that I can go up and back within one day, since I've got studying and stuff to do.

As for the conditions, there's no doom, gloom, or flooding here. WTF are they talking about?

It might be more convenient to freight the box, in the long run. That might cost less than the gas for you to come over to Florida to pick it up...?

I would LOVE to take a pic of someone with a baby in their arms, looking frantically back at the golden sphinx (after they go through) behind them, from a side view so all you see is lady with baby and freaked uot expression, and open mouth cat-demon... >D
It'll say... PROUD TO BE A GOLDEN PANTHER on the bototm. ^-^

Oh, I dunno. As of this year (or was it last?), Roary got redesigned a bit; he looks fiercer now.

My neighbor claims she was part of a committee that originally designed Roary, back when FIU went from the Sunblazers fo the Panthers. Dare I say, I think Sunblazers sounds niftier?
