Depressing little eraser from the 1980s. The computer is gearing up to deliver the truth: 'Something at Norwich Union. Until you get sacked.'
Hey everybody! Wow, between horse injuries, major computer troubles, it seems I've been gone for a long time! Pretty close to being back on track.

Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrettโs talk entitled โMassively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such โmassively interactingโ systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bioโsciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of sociallyโ and biologicallyโcoupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of โinformation portal technologyโ for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.
Proprietary (Some say NEC, MFM encoded) hard drive innards on my Plus+ HardCard 20.
The head position encoder glass (top right of arm) was dirty and causing slow seek. Somewhat academic as the thing thrashes about and gets stuck in the landzone. Old computers yay.

My papa is a college student. He is studying computer drafting and design. He lets me help him with his homework sometimes.

My external HD scared me into thinking it died tonight, so I was busy testing it inside the desktop. Sweet rat's nest in the back, eh? =)
back when i first started vomiting my life onto the internet (ten years ago next month), i had a friend named anna. we knew each other peripherally at first, through a mailing list, but soon became as inseparable as two people can be when they live a time zone apart, sending gigantic emails back & forth, spending hours at a time on ICQ, & eventually mailing composition books filled with writing to each other as supplements to our lives.
when we first met, i'd just started my second year of college & thought i ought to document my misery -- b/c that's an uplifting thing to do* -- & somehow we just clicked. we were best friends for a number of years but had an unpleasant & intense falling out nearly four years ago & though i know we both sort of checked up on each other over the years -- the internet makes that kind of thing remarkably easy, after all -- there has been absolutely no contact between the two of us.
till tonight, when anna emailed me.
& though i never expected, ever, to hear from her again, & though i know there's no friendship to go back to after all this time, i mean, fuck. it's a start. it's a thing. it's a big thing. people can change, grow up, reconcile. let this be a lesson to you: there's always hope.
* oh wait. welcome to this blog.
