Weebsington 3000

I think I might have a small caffeine addiction, I had a headache today until I got a few down, then I had a few more, and then a few more, now I'm too the point that I am almost ashamed to post how many ounces that have gone down.

So like all of life's problems, I'm going to take lifehacker's advice and try out a more moderate life. What kind of scares me about life is how I am constantly in a slightly modified state.

I should always quote the comment that I am responding to, because I guess it can be confusing.

Jake didn't understand the response to a grokster question, he said it was confusing, I guess it might be without context and I did write it while intoxicated, but i reread it and I guess it made sense.

Anyways, I should be back for the fourth of july weekend starting late saturday afternoon. I'm still working on zeb and joe to get their asses down to grinnell.

are you bored with your workspace? Get your ass to www.22freeze.com to get your free screensaver!!!

why are you wasting your life!?!? Get a screensaver that reflects your personality!!!

I'll assume that Joe Mohan is T. McGee, but I'll answer anyways...

1) I disagree with the result. Partially because it directly conflicts with my research, however, I will give a relevant example...

The argument as I understand it is that peer to peer (p2p) is that it makes it too easy to trade copyrighted material. The problem is stating what is too easy, let's pretend that I want a picture of angelina jolie. I could do a google image search that returns a copyrighted picture of angelina jolie, but does that make google liable? (I really hope that the answer is no)

Also, I hate the idea of p2p protocols being illegal, since I would like to use p2p protocols for good (distributing physics information to researcher) rather than evil. But hypothetically they could be used for evil, so are they illegal?

2) I take it back, I think this is JP, since he is the torrent master. But now that you mention it, torrent might be considered seperatly, since there is no direct network for finding a torrent (which is the main function of a p2p network) then technically torrents should be in a seperate class unless you consider torrent networks dangerous since content can distrubuted more quickly but not more efficiently.

As for implications, this might be a killer for my research, since right now I am looking at replica management (moving data closer to clients and how to reliable find replicas) and this is a common function of p2p systems that needs to be improved. (replica management would give you the closest copy of britney spear's baby one more time without your intervention)

The hank (hook) video for joey and whoever else would like it

PBR doesn't taste as good as I remember, but it's way too hot to drink anything else

don't you hate it when a language that you're working with claims to pass by reference yet only does it in certain ways? argh, I need some help, does anyone who reads this know python well at all?

A friend who visited me the other day asked me if it ever made me sad having so much going on around me and not being part of it. (referring to the frat boys who would probably throw up later in my alley) And I encouraged him to point out anyone over 25 downtown (besides hobos)

I want to party with the youngsters, but I don't want to be one of those old guys that are just a little bit too old to be dancing at the SpoCo or doing kegstands at afties.

I've been trying to get people to call me sir weebsington but people keep calling me weebs

It's hard to keep it easy when half your friends are way too easy, it's hard to get ahead when half your friends are friendly

Do you ever worry you'll party too hard at a concert and scare your girlfriend?

Alright, I am probably the only one that thinks this, but the Hank guy from the starbucks frapuccino (sp?) commercial reminds me of Aaron Hook. Before posting, note that I did not say that he looks like Aaron (his facial structure is wrong) but that he reminds me of Hook (the Maniacal one) due to his facial expressions (the sideways one most of all)

It's a sad day when you realize that you take home less money now than you did a year ago (health insurance costs more and I started paying union dues) Especially since the deadwood raised their whiskey prices by twenty five cents.

Bought tickets for intonation today, should be really fun to see everyone there.

Ransom

I used to think that "p2p networks and mp3's actually expose people to new music so they buy more cd's" argument was bullplop. But today I am going to go hunt down some Hold Steady cd's (partially because I can't find the full albums online)

if she says we partied then i'm pretty sure we partied. i really don't remember. i remember we departed from our bodies. we woke up in ybor city.

Okay, when we go see josh, we totally have to stop at ybor city (it's in tampa) but it doesn't sounds like a killer party city)

I can tell my blog is unpopular simply because no one even bothers comment spamming it. Oh well, there are much worse things in life...

Oh, and Jake, if I want to join infinite jeaun, what do I need to do? my blogger.com username is ransomdbriggs... I even bought another copy for the summer (zeb has my old one)

Friendship and horrible gas

I just entered Glue into google in the search for some work related stuff, nad the first thing that it returned was a picture of three boys sniffing glue off of this page. Bizarre, http://www.glue-sniffing.com/

What follows is an email a friend of mine wrote to his girlfriend when intoxicated. Names have been removed in order to protect the innocent?
