152 ad an excellent conversation at a party a while ago about religion.</p>
153
154 <p>Went to an Indian party and managed not to (totally) freak out this time.</p>
155
156 <p>But the topic of today (both the others are bloggable, but I tend to blog on whats got me down just now)</p>
157
158 <p>I’d like to date someone sane.</p>
159
160 <p>Seriously.</p>
161
162 <p>I’m not exactly sane myself, but I think I have a firm enough grasp on reality to survive day to day and not the people around me nuts, insane, psycho, etc.</p>
163
164 <p> (ex-gf2) was sane, but that was like two years ago… or was it longer.<br />
165 (ex-gal) doesn’t really count as someone I dated, but shes nuts for her own reasons.<br />
166 I won’t get started on Serena’s sanity. I’ve avoided blogging my thoughts on her, and I won’t stop now.<br />
167 New beau, Robin, is insane as well.</p>
168
169 rizwank 1.1 <p>Its been a month since we’ve talked. I <strong>know</strong> she likes me, like I know it. I know shes interested. But she “turtles” … she freaks out for unknown reason and hides away. No apparent reason, and I’m not the first person shes done this to. She felt that she was past that stage (as she told me when I was wary, our first date)… </p>
170
171 <p>Shes gotten a Teddy Bear w/ a Flower when she went to the hospital. Shes gotten about 2 - 3 calls a week, about one answering machine msg a week, and various amounts of msgs via her mum to call me. </p>
172
173 <p>And some would say give up. Brian and Nichole don’t say to, but Brian confesses that he would have gotten tired of it at this point (As he did when he dated her forever ago) … but she told me to be persistant. Everyones told me to be persistant. I don’t have someone else to focus on. And I like her a lot. I could fall in love with her. And thats a big deal for me … and she needs to get past this, and I’m going to try to help.</p>
174
175 <p>Yeah, there are a million questions about why I’m willing to do things in this relationship (if you can even call it at this point with 2.5 dates, and a few very good phone calls and emails) that I wasn’t willing to do in others. Why I freak out when someone pursues me, but not when I’m asked to pursue them… (you could blame it on the male hunter stereotype, I’m not sure) … I also think that her problems are fixable, and that she wants to fix them and do what is necessary to fix them (then again, what do I know, shes not responding to me) …</p>
176
177 <p>I’m not in this to fix her. I’m in this cause I really like her, and I’ll be darned if I’m going to chicken out. Let her parents think I’m a bit odd. Let her think I’m a bit persistant. Until someone says “stop calling,” or she says “I’m not interested,” I’m in this. Theres something special there.</p>
178
179 <p>That being said, it isnt’ cause shes not interested. She hasn’t responded to phone calls from her best friend either. It could be that shes still somewhat sick (which she is), but theres a point where its just rude. </p>
180
181 <p>Yeah, the rudeness bugs me, but I know how it is to be trapped in ones own patterns and rudeness resulting from that isn’t intentional.</p>
182
183 <p>Heather thinks she got too wild with me that first time, so shes hiding because of that. That some women may feel that way, I acknowledge, but there wouldn’t have been a second date if she felt that way.</p>
184
185 <p>Apparently, she gets down when shes sick.. like <span class="caps">WAY</span> down. That may have a lot to do with it. I’m thinking of deleting the phone number for 2 weeks and then calling once shes back at school.</p>
186
187 <p>I’ve come this close to driving down and showing up at her door a number of times. </p>
188
189 <p>Its not that I’m ignoring hints, its an utter lack of hints that I’m ignoring.</p>
190 rizwank 1.1
191 <p>Or I could just be a fool.</p>
192
193 <p>Or insane. :)</p>

324 Psychologists in Canada have finally proved what women have long suspected - men really are irrational enough to risk entire kingdoms to catch sight of a beautiful face. </p>
325
326 <p>Biologists have long known that animals prefer immediate rewards to greater ones in the future. This process, known as “discounting the future”, is found in humans too and is fundamental to many economic models.</p>
327
328 <p>Resources have a value to individuals that changes through time. For example, immediately available cash is generally worth more than the same amount would be in the future. But greater amounts of money in the future would be worth waiting for under so-called ‘rational’ discounting.</p>
329
330 <p>But some people, such as drug addicts, show ‘irrational’ discounting. For example, preferring a small amount of heroin today rather than a greater amount in the future.</p>

485 <p>So I’ve been recoding the fax program for my parents, and as it was written in Borland C++ Builder, I started porting the resources to .Net… not as easy as you would think, and after two hours, <span class="caps">MFC</span> gave me a headache. </p>
486
487 <p>Plazmic told me to try <span class="caps">VB </span>(ew), or C#. Thats prononced C Sharp, and it is effectively a modern day <span class="caps">VB,</span> but with the ability to compile machine level code and use a lot of C++ structures… Its a lot like Java, but its closest cousin is C++, and I’m thankful for that.</p>
488
489 <p>Its powerful. Not as much as C++, but its still nice. The interface is well done in .net2002, allowing you to hide code sections easily, and has a very VB feel to it. </p>

491 <p>Learning where stuff is a bit difficult.</p>

493 <p>With Richard at work talking my ear off about Delphi, I’m in a place to think about new languages for Rapid Deployment type stuff… </p>

dumb.</p>
634
635 <p>Yeah, that didnt happen.</p>
636
637 <p>I went 5-1.</p>
638
639 <p>How? Match One was a guy with some hastily made White Weenie deck, and this player wasn’t really interested in playing (or paying attention.) Match two was a guy who liked to Piper out things that hurt a lot… I had one turn left (being slapped with an Akroma), until he wanted to seal the deal with a Piper’d in Phage… sadly, ‘playing from your hand’ isnt the same as ‘put into play from your hand’… Phage’s ability triggered and he lost. Matches Three through Five are a blur… The final match was against a well made Goblin deck, but with a new pilot at the Helm… He eventually overwhelmed my CoP Reds, and while making some drastic misplays, I was still impressed at his ability to learn from his mistakes… Goblin Bidding isn’t the easiest deck to play (right).</p>
640
641 <p>So, yeah, interesting night, took 2nd place, got a <span class="caps">DCI </span><a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Withered%20Wretch')" title="Card Info on Withered Wretch">Withered Wretch</a>, so I was glowing.</p>
642
643 <p>Speaking of foils…</p>
644
645 <p>Got Judge Foils after <span class="caps">GP </span>Anaheim. Oh my, are they cool. A pair of <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Stroke%20of%20Genius')" title="Card Info on Stroke of Genius">Stroke of Genius</a>(s), pair of <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('City%20of%20Brass')" title="Card Info on City of Brass">City of Brass</a>(s), Oath <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('of%20Druids')" title="Card Info on of Druids">of Druids</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Intuition')" title="Card Info on Intuition">Intuition</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Vampiric%20Tutor')" title="Card Info on Vampiric Tutor">Vampiric Tutor</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Counterspell')" title="Card Info on Counterspell">Counterspell</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Hammer%20of%20Borgardan')" title="Card Info on Hammer of Borgardan">Hammer of Borgardan</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Ball%20Lightning')" title="Card Info on Ball Lightning">Ball Lightning</a> and <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Lightning%20Bolt')" title="Card Info on Lightning Bolt">Lightning Bolt</a>… boy did getting those put me into a really good mood :) The three boxes of Mirrodin and the <span class="caps">D&D </span>Minatures starter packs helped also :)</p>
646
647 <p><span class="caps">GP </span>Anaheim went pretty well.. <span class="caps">PES,</span> the <span class="caps">TO,</span> is amazingly good, and makes me wish I lived in Ohio instead of in Dan Grey’s territory… Mike Guptil, the TO at <span class="caps">PES,</span> seemed to honestly care if his players and judges were treated well and fairly, and he was about more than making money… Kinda heartening to see. :)</p>
648
649 <p>Oh, yeah, I’ve got a job. Remember, I said I’d mention it.</p>
650
651 <p>I’m working at <span class="caps">DVMG,</span> the local new hospital; Friend pulled some strings so I’ve got three weeks contract work at $14/hr (or $17, we are still negociating), with a possibility of part time work after… Its going well so far; I’ve been describing what I’ve been doing as pinch-hitting <span class="caps">R&D… </span>The current staff is in a mire of maintainance, and is the the regular state of being for IS departments… there are faster and better ways to do what they do, but no time to research it to make it happen… So thats what I’m doing. Nothing they couldn’t do, but things they don’t have time to do… Setting automated backup routines for the HP machines, automated install and config routines for Windows <span class="caps">XP </span>Installs, writing a proposal to management to get the money to implement QoS, making a new password policy, etc. It’s fun.</p>

653 <p>I’ve been going nuts over the Magic books.. some of them are really really good! :)</p>
654
655 <p>I miss Robin… haven’t heard from her in three weeks (and no one else has in two).. I hope shes okay, but I have no reason to assume otherwise. No pickups from her phone; I think they all left for vacation or.. I dunno. I’m assuming and hoping its vacation. I sent her a teddy bear with a flower when she got sick, and she never called me, and I think that she’s better mannered than that, so I assume that she’s out somewhere with her family. I know her sickness has turned into a bad strep throat and she went to the hosptial ;p</p>
656
657 <p>I, of course, can’t call too much because… well Guys can’t apparently.</p>
658
659 <p>Anyhow, gonna post my foilies on ebay :) more later…</p>

789 wept today, for the first time in probably a year…</p>
790
791 <p>My sister is quite possibly the most wonderful person in the world. Shes got flaws… but shes so grown up now and so responsible, and so loving and caring … Shes smart and kind and compassionate… </p>
792
793 <p>I sent her a picture frame of the two of us hugging when we were like 5 (which is amazing since, up until recently, she’s never been nearly as physically affectionate as my mother or <span class="caps">I…</span>), and a pair of diamond stud earrings for her 21st birthday. It was either those, or an <span class="caps">MP3</span> player or something… Then I realized I wanted her to have something she could keep and remember… and she doesn’t like flashy stuff… </p>
794
795 <p>She just called to tell me how much she loved them… I stepped out of the office where I’m working (oh, yeah, I’m gainfully employed now, more on that later), and talked to her in a stairwell.. she was so excited and happy… I couldn’t contain it; I really miss her when I think of her, and she’s so awesome.</p>
796
797 <p>Anyhow, just wanted to tell a nice story.</p>

1329 here are times that I think we don’t give credit to how amazingly attractive the female gender is.</p>
1330
1331 <p>Warning : Many generalizations, stereotypes, and such follow. Deal with it.</p>
1332
1333 <p>Lets leave aside, for a moment, “Hell Hath no Fury,” my constant complaints about the lack of scruples that women have, etc. </p>
1334
1335 <p>I’ve been in a kinda funky mood the past few days; I wasn’t sure why until, while avoiding studying last night, I watched some of the stuff I had bittorrented the previous day… The Spice Girls - “2 become 1” music video.</p>
1336
1337 <p>Theres a blog entry coming about variable moods of sexuality and my curiousity as to how other people approach it, but lets finish the female flattery…</p>
1338
1339 <p>Its just mannerisims. Smiles, blinking, any facial movement. I’ve watched the music video about 100 times now, and spent a massive time paying attention to the physical movements and choreography… I don’t get awed because these girls in particular are incredibly talented or attractive (sure, they are pretty, but there are a lot of pretty girls; and as for talent, its been said that you can take any random five people at a Dunkin’ Donuts and replace the Spice Girls), but because of the extreme femininity of their actions. </p>
1340
1341 <p>Even the one that isn’t feminine as some might describe it.. short hair, pant legs, a kind of emo-indepedent look …</p>
1342
1343 <p>Girls are just pretty. Theres something about their presence and the way that they look that takes my breath away; theres something about the way that I can’t physically control my eyes from sweeping over the girls that wait outside my <span class="caps">CS 331</span> class, I can’t stop but giving my random smile and hello whenever anyone that I find at all attractive walks by and makes even the most momentary eye contact.</p>
1344
1345 rizwank 1.1 <p>Oh, someones gonna bitch that attractiveness is ‘obviously’ the most important thing I care about. You’re wrong. First, what I find attractive isn’t what others tend to do, you don’t have to be size 2, blond hair, blue eyes, to be attractive. Every person has their own charms and that physical attractiveness also includes … subchannels is the best concept I can think of … of their personality traits. </p>
1346
1347 <p>Hearing the Spice Girls talking about “Wanting to make love” doesn’t hurt either.</p>
1348
1349
1350 <ul>
1351 <li>But god, the way women look when they smile. </li>
1352 <li>And wink.</li>
1353 <li>And look off into the distance in a moment of shyness.</li>
1354 <li>The way that singers close their eyes for a beat while singing.</li>
1355 <li>The dichomtomy between the sweet appearance that girls give by nature and the passion that they embody.</li>
1356 <li>And how their head tilts in a moment of happiness.</li>
1357 <li>The way that they squeeze your hands …</li>
1358 <li>The way they stare into your eyes…</li>
1359 <li>The way that they sound when they pick up the phone and hear your voice…</li>
1360 <li>The look in their eyes when they see a flower</li>
1361 <li>The roaming that their eyes do, and the subconcious biting of the lips when you dressed up more than you needed to…</li>
1362 <li>Their eyes in general…</li>
1363 <li>The way their legs look…</li>
1364 <li>How incredibly easy they are to read.</li>
1365 <li>How incredilby difficult they are to predict.</li>

1368 <p>Whats funny is that I’m not thinking in terms of Robin at this point. (Not having seen her in two weeks doesn’t help). Its of women in general (but, I must admit, the Spice Girls are my muse at the moment.)</p>
1369
1370 <p>Ok, yeah, I’m not in any sane place now. :Hides from all female dom and tries to study Sets:</p>

1824 een in a swinging mood recently. Not exactly sure why.</p>
1825
1826 <p>Got a mini report to write but I came to the computer lab to read some Brainburst and look into how to photoblog automatically with my Treo 600 (without using a seperate blog like <a href="http://www.geekandproud.net/photoblog/" title="Alan">Alan</a> does)… I want to setup Categories too so at least I feel okay about posting codebases too ;p</p>
1827
1828 rizwank 1.1 <p>Got a tour of the fourth floor of Building 8 when the elevator randomly opened to the restricted floor… shot some stuff there but no easy way to u/l it yet. Lots of cool stuff, Gila Monsters, Snapping Turtles, etc. The non-lethal reptiles were <strong>so</strong> much more interesting than the lethal ones.</p>
1829
1830 <p>Ive found myself reading Serena’s blog often to see if shes okay. No reason I can’t be angry and worried at the same time.</p>
1831
1832 <p>Anyhow I’m feeling down… not sure what/if Brainburst did to me ;p</p>

1836
1837 <p>I’ve apparently been calling Robin a bit too much (as told via Nichole) … Shes sick and I’m worried, and I dont get to talk to her cause shes asleep 18 hrs a day. Slightly miffed that her mom found it funny to comment on, that she mentioned it to Nichole, that Nichole waited three days to tell me, but mainly I’m just … whatever. I call people if I think of them. And I’m not stalker calling, I’m calling once a day to see if shes alive, and I haven’t spoken to her since Saturday.</p>
1838
1839 <p>Pulled my neck about a week and a half ago, and its still bad. Wearing a neckbrace to sleep.</p>
1840
1841 <p>I forgot how dry my mouth gets during public speaking. The meds contribute to dry mouth massively, but it becomes unteneable during self-induced stress, and thats why my mouth was full of cotton during my presentation today. Presented some slides of <span class="caps">AAC,</span> was the only lone presenter (all others were in groups), and I got quite annoyed when another group did a presentation that I had wanted to do (PARs and Tornado coding) … turns out they submitted their request 2 weeks before the final and das maestro just ‘let them’ do it… they had an easier thing to code (I couldn’t code my thing at all, its well beyond my abilities (or scope of this project) to write any of the underlying parts of <span class="caps">AAC </span>Encoders), while they were able to follow a “how to” manual for making pars. jesus.</p>
1842
1843 <p>So yeah, I’m not doing that well this moment in time.</p>
1844
1845 <p>Been looking into getting a webserver to host torrents for Suprnova… giving back and whatnot. I also want to run an <span class="caps">XDCC</span> bot, but no sane provider wants to allow that.</p>
1846
1847 <p>Did a bit of math and found out something that had never occured to me. 20gigs of traffic a month works out to 7kbps a second. Not that much when you think about it. (If I could just rehack my <a href="http://www.tcniso.net/" title="cablemodem">cablemodem</a>… though the rents want to switch to <span class="caps">DSL</span> anyhow)</p>
1848
1849 rizwank 1.1 <p>I could just use the display computer now that I think about it … my dad would wonder why his traffic slowed down and why his harddrive was constantly chunking though…</p>

1859
1860 <p>and I downloaded the 2000 Aqua album.</p>
1861
1862 <p>I only listen to the Elvis CD for the remixed Rubbernecking, which is awesome.</p>
1863
1864 <p>The Michael Jackson CD is just uplifting, to say the least. </p>
1865
1866 <p>The Elton John CD is amazing. I don’t listen to about half the tracks, but I love the other half; this guy is amazing.</p>
1867
1868 <p>Whenever I listen to “Thats why they call it the blues,” I think of Serena. (big surprise)</p>
1869
1870 rizwank 1.1 <p>Everyone has their legacies. (These comments are short, and taught me should be more like “Among the things this person taught me” … most of these people deserve a few entries of their own, to say the least)</p>
1871
1872 <p>Tara taught me that brillance in liberal arts “stuff” isn’t exclusive with knowledge of scientific stuff.<br />
1873 Heather taught me how to love someone. Period.<br />
1874 (ex-gf1) taught me how to please someone.<br />
1875 (Her legacy is coffee. Everyone I’ve dated was a coffee lover, but I have some memories of bringing her coffee during her finals (the only day I woke up on time that finals season) )<br />
1876 (ex-gf2) told me how to adore someone.<br />
1877 (Her legacy is Greek stuff. Took me more than a year to not cringe whenever I saw “Big Fat Greek Wedding”)<br />
1878 What Serena has taught me will take a while to ponder. <br />
1879 (Her legacy, though, is Elton John; and in a larger scope; the intense power of Music)<br />
1880 (ex-gal) taught me that there are people that aren’t meant for me.<br />
1881 HeatherW taught me that no matter how much I try to categorize people, theres always ones who break the rules.<br />
1882 (Her legacy is reminding me that growing up is a never ending process, and being happy with what you are is a lot more important than others being happy with you)<br />
1883 Amy and Stacey have their places there too, but I can’t think of anything at the moment.</p>
1884
1885 <p>Notice they are all girls. They weren’t all romanticly involved (or even targets for that matter), but its funny that they are all girls.</p>
1886
1887 <p>All the guys I’d list were mentors and are 20+ years older.</p>
1888
1889 <p>What was I talking about? Oh, Elton John.</p>
1890
1891 rizwank 1.1 <p>Oh, side note.<br />
1892 Shaziya came over. Shes my ‘other’ cousin, with Anisa being the one I normally talk about. Shaziya is incredibly bright, a photographic producer. </p>
1893
1894 <p>Anyhow, her and her boss, Bruce came over to the house and we started to talk. Adult conversations about balance, healthy food, priorites and all ensued, and having spent the entire previous day watching West Wing, I was speaking with a snippy attitude ;p. Whats worse though, is how the conversation flowed. I was trying to prove myself slightly cause I dont have a dynamic with Shaziya and Bruce; but part of it was just normal conversation… and whenever I’d make a point; my brain would stop.</p>
1895
1896 <p>Being smart, and looking like an idiot isn’t fun. Making a valid and important point (that isn’t obvious) and then losing your train of thought in between sucks. </p>
1897
1898 <p>Anyhow…</p>
1899
1900 <p>Most of my pics from Uzbekistan are finally back.</p>
1901
1902 <p>I’m mixed about them. Maybe thats what triggered the bad mood. </p>
1903
1904 <p>Some are good. Some really aren’t. </p>
1905
1906 <p>My photography was scattershot there; I wasn’t in theme mode, I wasn’t using my rules, I wasn’t paying enough attention to contrast, compostion and lighting, and I was out of practice.</p>
1907
1908 <p>It really annoyed me when I was there, and it still bugs me looking at these pictures</p>
1909
1910 <p>That being said, two pics came that I like. They aren’t of my trip but of the Wedding in Atlanta, and I don’t doubt that there are better pictures hidden in the rest, but heres the two that struck me.</p>
1911
1912 rizwank 1.1 <p>Someone took this of me, and I really like it.<br />
1913 <img alt="me.jpg" src="http://www.geekymedia.com/me.jpg" width="400" height="271" border="0" /></p>
1914
1915 <p>This picture was in someones study and it struck me. Like really struck me. Like I’d be willing to hang a lifesize one somewhere in the house. Anyone know anything about it?<br />
1916 Not sure if its the pretty girl, the reading, the feel of it, or whatever, but this took my breath away.<br />
1917 <img alt="read2.jpg" src="http://www.geekymedia.com/read2.jpg" width="325" height="480" border="0" /></p>
1918
1919 <p>So, anyhow, gotta fudge my report; might fix photoblogging today. I could probably wrangle it so it just put it into a directory and there would be a bar showing the most recent 6 pics, but I’m not really wanting to seperate my blog and photoblogs… plus, with there being no way to blog from the new Treo, I’d like to be able to blog <span class="caps">WITH</span> my pictures. It’d def make me blog more (and probably less of these once-a-week scatterbrained blogs)</p>
1920
1921 <p>Cheers,<br />

2048 fter haggling with Sprint for a while to replace my Treo 300, which had broken due to shoddy construction four times since I purchased it; they discounted our monthly bill by $40, gave me $250 credit towards a new phone and swapped out my Treo for a Samsung <span class="caps">I330</span> which is being ebayed right now…</p>
2049
2050 <p>Not bad.</p>
2051
2052 <p>They were out of stock of the 600s, so I bought one temporarily at Best Buy.</p>
2053
2054 <p>Spent all of last night (After a big argument at home sadly) loading it up… even though I have a final project due… Bleh.</p>
2055
2056 <p>Once finals are up, look for reviews and a new blog design with photos from my Treo :) (while I’m at it, I might implement some of the tons of stuff I wanted to)</p>
