1:34 am
I visited Microsoft today in an attempt to eat lunch with this group of interesting people, but I got there too late
and wandered the campus, trying to find building 31. It's not on the maps that are posted around the place. Eventually
I hailed a campus shuttle and he knew where it was. It was fun listening to the shuttle driver's CB banter. "JT to base, you're broken."
Eventually I met up with Anita, and saw some big huge trade secrets. Ooh boy,
if you only knew.
I'm pretty tired right now, having woken up at a decent hour, so this won't be real long, as I am longing to be asleep. I came home to discover lots of email. Thanks to _riot_ for notifying me that I absently left the month page labeled for last month after copying it. Oops. I'm going to enhance the autogen script to do that automatically. Thanks to Laura and Le'a for enhancing my potential guilt flux. Thanks to Olana for the weird bus stories which are still getting sent to GST, where Tiffany reads them and then decides if she wants to pass them on to me. And thanks to the netcom NOC for being so helpful. | |
| Doing the things a spider can | |
|
I didn't kill the spider. It sat on the inside doorframe until I went to sleep, then it built a web on the inside of my door.
When I woke up in the morning, I slowly opened the door (it opens inwards) and the entire web stuck flat against the door's surface.
The spider held its position in the middle of the contact web. Since it didn't block the doorframe, I just left it there.
After I got home just now, I noticed that it built a new suspended web, between the door and the wall adjacent the corner of the wall the door is set in. Closing the door caused the web to stretch rather taut, but no breakage occurred. The spider twanged the strands with its feet a couple times, as if to test the new tension for practicality. Twang twang. Mr. Bonamine stressed writing in the third person. "Then, the test apparatus was placed in the airstream." - Ed"...by the invisible robots!" - me |
