sleepy. Feeling slightly under the weather this morning. | | Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 | | 7:28 pm |
hunting for a recipe for homemade root beer. Would prefer that it not involve a keg, which I don't have. (Do have large carboys though..) | | Thursday, July 9th, 2009 | | 3:03 pm |

restaurant recommendation - "Double Dogs" in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Good place, we enjoyed very much yesterday. | | Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 | | 3:39 pm |
a bit perturbed at having lost all of the data on a 300GB hard drive. Fortunately, nothing terribly important on there. | | Sunday, June 7th, 2009 | | 9:51 pm |

tiger botia update
the two tiger botia appear to have scared the bejeezus out of the nuisance snails in my smaller fishtank. I'm not seeing many of the mid-sized snails, anymore. We haven't managed to 'catch' the botia eating any snails, and we don't see broken shell pieces, either. It does seem, however, that there are fewer snails in the tank. The largest of the nuisance snails - the original, matriarch, snail - known derisively as "big momma" - has taken to burying herself quite deep in the gravel. I suspect that to be some sort of reaction to predation - she's never done that, before now. I wonder how many snails the two botia have eaten since introduction... it would be very interesting to know within an order of magnitude or so. But I simply just don't know.... | | 1:08 am |
calendar updates
I spent a few minutes moving things from my mailbox onto the google calendar that I was using for departmental and SLIS-related events last spring. Anyone who's interested should be able to search at Google Calendar for "SLIS Doctoral Student Association" (or similar) and find it... In bulk, I calendared the events of SLIS DSA's "Friday Conversations", running this fall, as well as the talk dates that katy's lab sent out for their talks. RKCSI's dissertation support group is on there too; folks are meeting tomorrow to discuss meeting times for that, so I have nothing else there to calendar, yet. I like having things calendared, even if I don't make it to the events. Somehow it makes the world feel a little bit tidier, and I find that somewhat comforting... | | 1:05 am |
animal rescue
we are now fostering two needing-much-love animals here. 1) Hera, an eight month old kitty, very skittish and non-people-adjusted. 2) Darcie, an (I'm guessing) eight to ten year old female cocker spaniel. I should really post pictures, I guess. It is nice to have animals other than fish running around the house being friendly and playful. (These are very friendly animals, and so far I've had *zero* trouble with either - other than some minor toilet malfunctions, at least.) | | Monday, September 3rd, 2007 | | 3:00 pm |
tiger botia (multiple)
I've introduced two tiger botia into the smaller fishtank in hopes that they will devour the burgeoning hordes of Malaysian trumpet snails - a nuisance species. I counted about 30 of them on the surface the other night. [They're sort of nocturnal- they get active when it is dark. Counting them is one of those things you do after they've had several hours of prolonged darkness.] That was 30 that were sizable - there are vastly more of them in the tank, but they're either deeply buried or too tiny to easily see. Botia-variety fish are basically loaches. They get big. These two are about the size of a triple-A battery. If they get too big, I guess they'll have to go back to some pet store or another... | | Friday, August 24th, 2007 | | 4:39 pm |
greek mythology personality test
Your Score: Dionysus 33% Extroversion, 33% Intuition, 72% Emotiveness, 71% Perceptiveness 
Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions.
You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student. He is the art student who paints nonrepresentational splashes of color, he is the poet who rejects meter and content. You seek sexual partners more than anything else (this is to exploit the nurturing side of others to help fill your own void). If not sexual partners, this desire to become the object of sympathy with other people can manifest itself in other destructive ways. Stinkfist by Tool explains your condition pretty well. It's very likely that you haven't had many experienced mentors. You don't want them either, because you're the sort of person who rejects criticism and boundaries, but they're also your only hope for reaching any kind of emotional maturity.
Famous People Like You: John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner
I'd tell you to stay clear of Hermes, Icarus and Apollo, but you could probably learn something from them. You're least likely to hurt The Oracle, Atlas, Prometheus, and Daedalus, but Atlas and Daedalus won't like you very much.
Seek out: The Oracle, Prometheus

Bloomington OpenSolaris User Group (BTN-OSUG)
Along with Phillip Steinbachs from The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics, I am... 'encouraging' the formation of an OpenSolaris user group to serve the Bloomington and central Indiana area. [Indy probably needs a group all its own, eventually...] We put a proposal in last week to the umbrella OpenSolaris organization; accepted and pushed through the process with flying colors. It was unbelievably *easy*. Now the hard stuff will start to come up. A listserv and some content for our space on the opensolaris.org site are really the next things on the agenda. I think Phillip is taking charge of putting some content there, probably sometime this week. Why OpenSolaris? Well... there are some things about OpenSolaris that meet different ecosystem needs than the Debian bits that I otherwise prefer to use. :-) I am looking very much forward to Sun's Project Indiana, in hopes that the two sub-platforms (OpenSolaris and Debian) I use most for research computing will become a lot more similar than they currently are. |
