Oh yeah, while I was talking with CJF and gang yesterday, they wanted to come to my defence, ask me tough questions and watch me crash and burn. Oh joy. I told them that it was being held somewhere in Engineering sometime in June.. (heh heh).
After reading the Matrix parody, weirDo and I started wondering about what some of the hacker lingo meant. Actually, we figured out what most of the terms meant, it's only one which we couldn't figure out. That would be:
er33t
There were also other references to hacker lingo that I've stumbled across at ArsTechnica, and the ShackNews. The only one that I didn't decipher was:
l33t
Oh man, yeah, I just realized that the word we found for it really was the right one. Damn. Anyway, for those of you who haven't figured it out, it stands for "elite", which is also possibly what the first word meant. Too bad The Dialectizer doesn't do hacker lingo.
Oh well. weirDo gave his seminar talk today. It was pretty good. At least it was a bit more understandable and shorter than the average seminar. I got called to hurry to the seminar when I realized that the show was today and forgot to bring the money down to the auditorium. Doh!
I rushed on down to the lecture hall and dropped off the money. I was fortunate that the pizza had not arrived by then. Anyway, I ran back to the seminar room and was only a few minutes late, so I didn't miss too much.
I then proceeded back to the CTRL-A show, and obviously showed up after everything had started. The show was alright, everyone I expected to show up did show up. So things went well. Mostly.
Well, there are times I wonder if the things I do are pushing any buttons. I have always viewed life as a constant, everything being the same day in and day out. This I find especially true with relationships. I approach people with the assumption that whatever relationships they have when I meet them, will stay the same for as long as I know that person. This is of course, a naive assumption.
However, it does make it easier for me to talk to some people knowing that, for example, they were married. I could talk to that person as openly as I can and wouldn't have to worry about any pretense of a.. relationship. I can be myself. It's a little more difficult with single girls, but again, I just assume that they'll be single for as long as I know them and there isn't any problem. Now, things get interesting if the person I'm talking to is a girl who I'm attracted to. She's taken? Whew! No worries then, I can be myself. Single? Crap. I hope I don't screw up.
I dunno, that's a bit of a babble there, but I there's always a part of me hoping that things never change, that tomorrow I won't have to prepare for the unpredictable, that the person I talked to didn't just breakup with her bf..
*blink*
Stuff like that. I know we have an impact on everyone we meet, but I don't like to be the cause of bad news. Of course, que sera sera. I guess I have to learn to deal with consiquences. Eh, I'll get there when I get there. Mind you, I won't be here at UW for much longer, so there's one thing that's going to change soon in the future. I wonder what I will be doing after? A predictable future is a safe future, but only an obscure future leads to true freedom. Fate or choice? Hopefully I'll start heading in the right direction..
Well, my ride is here, better go for dinner..
