Also, when do you folks figure it's a good time to call someone after getting their number?

[Dilmah G]

In the same day is erring on slightly too keen, the day after and perhaps the day after that is 'oh yeah, I remember you, hey!' territory and anything beyond about 3-4 days is 'Hey...who are you again?' At least in my eyes anyway.

Also it was some acrylic based stuff, the white on the invasion stripes was really what got me, my paint tends to clump up worse than anything which made it a real ***** to paint over. Probably needed a bit of water, in hindsight.

wait at least a day and a half, no more than three and a half, depending on circumstances. It's probably best to call on a Wednesday or a Thursday.

[Pred the Penguin]

Why Wednesday or Thursday? Just curious.

i got nukesim to compile for the first time in a year or two. now i can neglect it until a new compiler comes out and it breaks again.

Ah, that would probably do it. I'm a fan of enamel myself. It may not be cheap, but it helps to know the fella down at the modeling store


As for phoning that girl, general consensus by other girls I consulted in were Thursday

Hmmm. Study for Statistics exam in the morning, or clean my apartment.

Cleaning honestly seems more appealing.

Combine them. Calculate the statistics of....something to do with cleaning.

I suppose I could grab my kitchen scale and do an ANOVA F table analysis on the weights of the pens in my desk drawer. XD

For every algorithm that generates pseudo-random numbers that you know, suppose you have a computer program that tries to generate random numbers in a Gaussian distribution, taking as input a mean and a standard deviation. It generates 1,000,000 numbers. It fails if more than whatever that percentage is of the numbers lie outside one stdev of an arbitrary mean. You have a script that runs that program 1,000,000 times. what is the expected number of failures for this program? If you run the entire test 1,000,000 times what is the expected number of times you don't get the expected number of failures? Doing that 1,000,000 times, the expected number of times the expected number of times the expected number of failures is wrong?

^ this is why I'm only taking Intro Stats, and never taking it again. Because I really couldn't care less as to what the answer for this is.

Polpolion... stop making my head spin.

Also, got bored and decided to make a fool out of myself

Small enough that I will consider it 0 for my purposes.

So Windows started reporting a hard disk failure in one of my hard drives (not my OS drive, thankfully). I backed up what I could onto my system drive. CHKDSK reported all clear. Ran SeaTools on it, it failed the SMART check but is passing everything else so far. Windows complained again. Not sure if real problem.

Girlfriend bought me a compilation of The Iliad and The Odyssey as an advance Christmas present, and I took a real liking to it after the first few pages of getting used to the style of writing. This weekend will be 8 months and so we're going to the beach (it being summer and all) and so I'm rather keen for that.

Currently posting on here while my model P-51 dries after the first Olive-Drab coat on the rudder and the left wheel being reglued. T'is coming along rather nicely. But damn, the SVN update happening concurrently makes me really wish I'd done this earlier in the year. At least the team's been fairly busy!

you shut up.  i hate you.  i miss it so much i went and skimmed for an hour or so last week anyway (it being NOT summer and all).


in other news, if you haven't heard about the latest.... incident shall we call it, with sandusky's lawyer, you should google it.  now. 

[Dilmah G]

Jesus Christ! Did you freeze?! But yees, haven't been following this about Jerry Sandusky, time to do some reading. *glasses on*

[Pred the Penguin]

You've never read Homer's epic before?
I remember reading an abridged version for children almost a decade ago.

Ah, the good old days.

i'm still trying to coax my testicles back out of my stomach.  the looks i got from the surfers paddling out in their wetsuits alone made it worth it though.  kinda like a mix of "what the **** is wrong with you?" and "respect, dude."   

if you're not already mostly up on the sandusky thing, it's probably not worth it.  i heard that bit i was referring to on the morning radio show and laughed hysterically for a good 5 minutes.  i'm so glad i get to hear that show again.  yesterday, they were talking about the auction of michael jackson's stuff, and apparantly someone bought a lock of his hair for $10,000+ and intends to make a roulette ball with it.  one of the co-hosts commented that michael's ball would never land on anything above 18.   
the radio show ceased for a couple minutes as everyone tried to re-gather their composure.

I'm trying best to hold my sides after that last one, (attempted) respect for the dead and all. But yes, I know what you mean about the testes-in-stomach feeling, was at the beach the other Friday the day after a major thunderstorm in Perth. Manhood = hidden for the remainder of the day.

My model plane however is now dry and decal'd up!
