As an unsolvable problem the math dude was obsessed with as escapsim from RL.

Oh. Well, that works okay.

Emily, you want to change any spaces in your regular experssions with "\\s", (or probably "\\s+"). Backslash-S will match any whitespace character, including a line break. Also, make sure you include an "s" after the regex.

So, $x =~ /this is a test/ will match the string "this is a test"

but, $x =~ /this\\s+is\\s+a\\s+test/s match the phrase "this is a test" even if it has line breaks in it.

Well, we don't know it's unsolvable. Just unsolven.

I like both Numb3rs and Medium. I like the actors on Numb3rs and the real lifeness of the marriage on Medium. Patricia Arquette alone does nothing for me, but I like the situations the character gets into.

I had a dream the other night that I was trying to help someone who doesn't get algebra get a handle on it. I told her to substitute familiar things like commodities for the abstract x & y, etc. Like s=shoes, and p=purses and so on. It worked for her. I have no idea if it would really work, I flunked algebra all three times I was trying to take it.

Hey, the Bloodhound that won the Hound Group is the one that one the National show last month.

Cool.

I watch Numb3rs and Medium. I like them both. I don't worry about the Math because mathiness is not me. Also, I love Joe DuBois and the kids and Allison's very non-glam home-life.

Also, I just read an interview with David Krumholtz where he says that the 3 in the title should really be a sigma and he's been trying to get the PTB to change it but so far it hasn't worked.

Wasn't he Wednesday Addams geeky boyfriend at camp in Addams Family Values?

I was terrified when they zoomed in on the whiteboard on Medium last night -- I was just sure the stuff on their was gibberish, and I wished they hadn't gotten quite so close.

I am fairly calm, but I would not say phlegmatic. HOWEVER, in a group that includes BOTH David and msbelle, I am MORE THAN WILLING to let them use up the available energy.

Okay, that time I ran up to her unannonced on the street in Manhattan? She flapped a little. But that's just because I'd broken just about every covenant of proper behavior in NYC.

You neglect to point out that you assaulted me! By surprise! On the street!

(Oh, but I do think it's funny that my posting style is pretty high-energy seeming. What with the !!!! and the ASSCAPS. Since that's really not so much me.)

They're supposed to have them in the mail on 1/31. So if you call, you can harass them safely.

I suspect the post office is to blame. The temporary change-of-address from the summer turned out to be quite the clusterfuck. I'll call the employers, but I probably won't need to harass.

I have a bad cold or flu or something. My whole body aches way more than it ever has before. I think I need all my bones removed, like that guy in the Ray Bradburry story.

Or maybe a hot bath.
