Resnet is sucking right about now. With DC++, top speed seems to be about 700 kb/s, and that’s only if they’re in the same house or floor. Downloading from the same res, it drops a few hundred, and in other residences that drops to two digits. Disappointment. BUT, the selection is quite good. Plenty of anime and TV. I’m looking into starting One Piece, Bleach, or The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.
Facebook added some interesting features recently, most notably, the feed. I personally think it’s an interesting idea. The feed acts like an RSS feed but of what your friends have done. Feeds are good and useful.
So then there’s this bunch of users who think this is an invasion of their privacy. These are probably the same people who think Google is invading their privacy. Well here’s a tip I suggest for those privacy advocates: don’t put your information on the Internet if you don’t want someone to see it.
Facebook didn’t break into your house and steal your address and phone number and put it on their website, you put it on their website, so deal with it.
Why don’t you damn kids whine about the real invasions of privacy in our society?
Give me an S
Give me an E
What does that spell?
Sssssssssssssssss!
Why, yes, I did get my hard hat and pink tie. Check out my flickr, because I’m too lazy to link to them.
Engineers are angry and spiteful people. Mathies are happy and loving. I mean, just look at EDCOM.
Yes, I have moved in. I’ll be back this weekend. Moving was actually fairly painless. We got my stuff in and unpacked fairly quickly. Got two of my books, waiting on family and friends for maybe the rest of them.
Village orientation has been a mixed bag. I think that the groups are too large for the sort of thing they wanted to do. Playfair was just random. I don’t know, I think faculty orientation will be more enjoyable.
Pictures soon.
