I do not take paid advertising, which fact allows me to talk about some things I like … like Linux Certified, arguably the best company of any kind I have ever dealt with. Especially in the jungle that is computing now. Their machines are good and they talk to you live by phone about how … More Nostalgique
I would say you have to commit to whatever you do, from mowing to centering clay to swimming to shore or rowing to the end of the lake; people know this. Committing to do your best – not the best, but your present best – is, in my experience, also the most expedient way of … More On Commitment
I decided it was time to renovate my curriculum vitae, so I have been doing it. This is for updating, refreshing, pruning, and reediting, but it is also so as to have a .txt ready to use to learn LaTex or at least Lyx with.

Here is the choir of King’s College, Cambridge: Hallelujah. And in 1994: I have had a few coding problems in WordPress today; this post on discoveries and victories has changed several times. Highlights are: • I am running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 and it is brilliant. My LeNovo hardware is excellent, as are the technicians at … More Mo’ Mo’ Code

According to one list the top 15 law schools are Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Berkeley, Chicago, Penn, Michigan, Duke, Northwestern, Virginia, Cornell, Georgetown, and UCLA. A composite of their middle LSAT ranges (25th/75th percentile) would be 164 to 177. My LSAT scores in the 90s and earlier this century were 157, 158, and 159; … More On Schools
Observe these people in Lima playing real Chicago blues. “Jelly roll killed my pappy and run my mother stone blind.” This was filmed in the Jazz Zone which is near the Parque Kennedy, so it is easy to get to. Let’s go tonight. Axé.
I would rather be running Linux and using LaTex, and I would like it if Open Office worked better for me than it does. But I am running Windows 7 and XP, and I am unlikely to be in a position to change this in the near future. In the university we have Microsoft Word, … More WordPerfect
