In other, more peaceful news, I stumbled across a Worldwide Labyrinth Locater site:

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fuck, no one TOLD me anything, how the hell should I know? And why are you surprised I don't?
Is there someone you can say this to, sara? With possibly fewer swears? I wonder if everyone thinks someone else got you up to speed with different things.
I guess the Verizon guy doesn't wear glasses in real life? If comic books have told us anything, it's that glasses completely transform one's face.

Susan, how about music from The Beggar's Opera? Yes, it dates from 1728, but a lot of the music was being sung (with various words) for a long time after.

I'd love to know how he found out he was the Verizon guy. Like, did he finally put it together or did Verizon guy tell him. (That's the "Can you hear me now?" guy, right?)

Apparently, the next day, the "mystery" guy was like, "Yeah, I travel a lot for work... Oh, do you like football? I could get tickets to the Super Bowl through my job," and the coworker was finally like, "OK. Maybe you told me this last night, but what is your job?!?" The whole story was hilarious. Of course, we were then saying what a nightmare it would be to break up with that guy -- there's no avoiding him!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool!
Documentary on the women who hacked ENIAC
The Invisible Computers: The Untold Story of the ENIAC Programmers is a documentary on one of the first programming teams: Betty Snyder Holberton, Jean Jennings Bartik, Kathleen McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum and Frances Bilas Spence.
The six-woman team hardwired code for ballistics trajectory calculations, but were overlooked in the previous accounts of the first US large-scale, electronic, digital computer in 1946.
The documentary is being previewed at Google next Thursday -- they production team are looking for donations to finish it off and show it elsewhere.

Elevator broken at work again. Don't know if I want to risk going back upstairs for coffee. Am drinking a Diet Pepsi instead. It is very unsatisfactory.

I woke up with a cold. I am not sick enough to go home, but I am sick enough that it's taking me three times as long as usual to get things done. I am not happy.
