Mindful Musings

There is this really weird hairy person staying in a van in our private parking lot. He is an old tenant who was evicted a couple of years back. According to my neighbors, he is a Magician who went out west to seek his fortune and never did make it. He is apparently always in trouble. This is very weird and I dont quite know how to handle it. Jennifer is freaking out that he will be there when she shows up here at night. I am going to wait till tomorrow (he has been here since last weekend). If he does not leave, I will call the condo association and if that does not take care of him, I will call the cops. I dont want to create any kind of trouble, but I dont want a strange hairy man living at my front driveway either. Lends a new meaning to “Living in a van, down by the river!” -Chris Farley, Saturday Night Live (heh! Craig gets it!) I will update on the next post.
On another note, there is the Cleveland AirShow this coming weekend and Craig wants me to come up there. Jennifer is game and it sounds like we are going to get our cameras and attend! This should be a fine showing of America’s (and my) favorite way to spend tax dollars! Check it out for yourself! The Cleveland AirShow sports some of the finest that American Aviation has to offer. This should be a special show with the 100th Anniversary coming up! I will post the best pictures. I have to remember to take my good camera with me!
On ANOTHER note, I am taking Advanced Computer Architecture and Computer graphics this semester. I had the first Advanced Computer Architecture lecture today. It should be a lot of fun. Dr Kaur (a nice Indian lady who likes me; we have published articles under her supervision) is teaching the course. We will be learning about newer processor and computing technology including the RISC and CISC based processors, Pentium iv range and many others. Memory (including SDRAM, SRAM, RDRAM and SRDRAM) should also be a hot topic. Dr Heuring is teaching the Graphics course which focuses mostly on OpenGL and GLUT. I should be able to code a decent screensaver afer this course! I will also be able to test the coding capabilities of my Linux server for the first time!!
Peace
