twenty-five seconds of silence

i'm beginning to glow… forever!

distilling

i’ve been thinking more about what happened out there in VA and about S. here is an excerpt of an e-mail i wrote to my buddy alex:
there was just too much pressure. i mean, i liked her so much that i was totally self-conscious and nervous. i think that paralyzed me.
and, because [...]

life worth living

i’m feeling a bit better today. yes, time heals. it always does. at least it’s not like when i was totally lovesick over jo-ann, and i was listening to sarah mclachlan’s “do what you have to do” over and over again. haha! that was what you call “wallowing.” i’m [...]

looks aren’t everything

well, looks aren’t everything… because if they were, then janell wheeler wouldn’t have gotten voted off _american idol_ last night. she was definitely the most attractive girl on the show. so that’s too bad; i would have liked her to stay longer, but america didn’t seem to share my fondness for her. [...]

that’s what happened today. we got a new release of the AC code, so i ran through my basic sanity tests. things were fine. but [...]

hyperspace

this morning, i had a really scary experience. i got to work, and i sat at my cubicle and immediately started to do some work after a few minutes. then, my brain just started to freak out. it sped up faster and faster, and suddenly, i felt like my head was in [...]

race condition

so i found a weird issue in my test today, one which could explain why it’s failing.
so suppose you have a clock that’s sampling another signal. and in your simulation, at the clock’s edge, the other signal changes at the exact same time. which value do you get then? ah, that’s the [...]

jumping on the chance

since vegetarian coworker R is in india, i’m taking the opportunity to eat lunch at places where we couldn’t go before, i.e. places with no veggie options. so today, i suggested that the four of us go to adamsons french dip in sunnyvale. the only non-meat options that adamsons has are french fries, [...]
