(Granted it does make sense to have a status page hosted elsewhere... but isn't that what status.livejournal.com is for?)
it's a small internet after all

frinkle_twinkle, whose current (from September) entry is all about how it seems she gets a disproportionate number of visitors via the random journal selector: http://frinkle-twinkle.livejournal.com/Is the random-livejournal selector broken, or is this just observational bias? (Anyone could notice some random visitors, put up a note about them, and then suddenly have lots of people saying that they, too, got there via the random journal button, and isn't that funny.) I suppose the way to test this, aside from inspecting the source code to
random.bml, would be to make a new journal with a post that says "Isn't it funny, so many people seem to be getting here via the random button" post, and see how many "me too" comments accrue.* actually, just to waste time.

I've never met dianaca4, but she's a computer science student at berkeley, a slovakian, she lived in Lund for the last year, and she's doing a math REU right now, all of which makes her incredibly cool. But my reason for posting is to direct you to her wonderful pictures she just posted.
I don't remember where I first came across oneko, but I know I added him because I liked his tagline, "overture to a dance of locomotives," and then I was mesmerized by his photography. He's a biochemistry major in Houston, I think, but I don't really know anything about him. Extra points for the Plan 9 user icon.
UCSD stories
Jun. 8th, 2004 06:42 pmI bought a refillable UCSD coffee mug today. What a dangerous item! I'm all hopped up on caffeine now. I was hopped up on caffeine already when the cafe closed and the guy offered free refils to anyone from the coffee that was left over. Who could resist an offer like that? So far I've had "Chocolate Raspberry" (yum!), "Best of Africa," and "Moto Brew." (jitter jitter!)
Sitting at Grove Caffe. Writing column for Forefront. Thinking about going to the beach.
John ran a marathon this last weekend... I wished him luck on Friday.. when I came back on Monday, he answered the door in crutches. "Oh, I see." "Yeah, I twisted my ankle [or something] at mile 16!" "Oh my." "And then I ran 10 more miles!" So, congrats to John. I couldn't have done it.

ucsd community.
P.S. The wireless internet access on this campus is awesome. Walking to campus this morning a lady at a bus stop asked me if I knew when the bus was coming and if it would take her to wher she wanted to go. Well, she was visiting from Australia and I am a complete San Diego neophyte, so we were both clueless. No matter -- whipped out the laptop computer and we were close enough to campus to get access and check the bus schedules and all that.
Next stop: UCSD tunnels?
Some interesting email:
I just received some spam with the title "so strong so big eigenvector compagnie". Is this what they call math porn?
I also received my livejournal MindMap. I don't know how it's computed, but it's still kind of interesting.
I also just received a little update from Google saying that I was added to the SDSC staff listing. Add a ego-search to Google's webalerts and you'll be notified every time Google discovers a new reference to you (or whatever search phrase interests you).
Okay, now to the beach.
