This is from a café close to my new home, because I don’t have an internet connection (or a phone, or even TV) yet. I finished the move sometime last evening and as of now there is still a whole lot of stuff […]

Well, not good enough anyway.
Did I say good? I meant strong, yes strong, that’s it.

You’d be surprised
- How much crap a poor grad student can accumulate.
- How weak a 20 few year old male can be.

And I’ve homed in on a T-Mobile plan I seem to like. […]

I just received my first ever thank-you-style positive feedback for releasing the work site’s style. It was from Juho Vaha-Herttua, a graduate student at Helsinki University of Technology. It’s being used to power this hobby project’s website, jmirc, which allows cell phone users […]

I’ve been trying to be busy all weekend and not do anything related to the much-talked-about move. And for the most part, I pulled it off and did try to get a lot of work done. But in real world terms, I […]
