Writer’s Block: How Soon Is Now?

What scientific or medical breakthrough do you most want to happen in your lifetime?

medical… probably a toss up between a cure for Alzheimer’s and a cure for cancer. I still remember my grandmother, from when I was little up to when she finally passed on. Heh to this day my mother refuses to donate to the Alzheimer’s association. In my family, it’s also a general thing: you will probably die of heart attack, cancer, or stroke; take ya pick.

scientific… well, if I was an inventor my “pet project” would probably be to invent something like the force fields in Star Trek. In the wider scope, I’d kind of like to see advances in high energy physics and a less radioactive form of nuclear power: like the minovsky fusion reactors from MS Gundam, in application.

Finally managed to embarrass myself lol

The other day, I was on comms waiting for Carter to show up; so I was getting some work done in the mean time. No one was around the virtual pub yet, so I didn’t worry about the copy/pastes (my push to talk key is left control). Managed to get a head start on my work load, but The parakeets chirping, so I’m whistling back in the hopes that the bird will pipe down by the time training starts; then I realize a teammates sister joined the channel, and I’m thinking “oy, could this be taken the wrong way” lol.

That’s the most embarrassed I’ve felt in many years :-/.

If you were sent to prison for an undefined amount of time, what would you miss most?

Probably programming!

Honestly, I can’t fathom what it would be like to not program stuff…. if I didn’t have a computer or something, you’d probably find me rewiring old electronic gizmo’s into something new and strange, or building a robot…. or accidentally electrocuting myself in the process lol.

(that being said, if I had the resources I would try building my own PDA, and probably have to watch the FCC confiscate it or something :-(.)

A little real life…. (IRC style)

note: Blackbox = Window Manager for X11; .blackboxrc = x resource file which is != a script.

this is something I would do

This linguistics professor was lecturing the class.
“In English,” he explained, “a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative.”
“However,” the professor continued, “there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.”
Immediately, a voice from the back of the room piped up: “Yeah….. right….”

mm, bash.org is making this a laughing day lol
