just bake cookies with her. its what we do every year. cut them out to spell things. My girlfriend isn't particularly geeky, so we usually stick with 'i love you' and our initials, but you might want to do:
I live in upper manhattan (the last few blocks before the bronx.)
I've been using road runner since it first came out. Although I was originally afraid that it would degrade with time, but it has persistantly been very fast. The upstream connection is limited to 30kb/sec but downsteam is constantly 200k-300k/sec. If a site is slow, it's never roadrunner. I work at a dot com and go to school downtown and the connections there actually feel sluggish in comparison with my connection at home, as silly as it sounds.
Also, when I "apt-get dist-upgrade" my debian packages, I get a constant 300k/sec every time, and that's enough for me;)
The only bad point I could possibly think of is the AOL/Timewarner merger. Will AOL start pushing themselves on the RR service? I hope not.
Personally, I prefer to use PHP for server side scripting, but I have nothing against other languages. I can understand why many people go with these proprietary metalanguages because they try to make the scripting languages seem like extensions to HTML, which is easy on non-programmer's heart. Although I've never used coldfusion, I'd say it's the largest of these. They're probably a safer bet.
When I was younger I used to read lots of comics. I began with the standard Marvel and DC superhero-type comics, but quickly moved to independent comics. Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" ranks among one of the best comics I've ever read. I didn't realize scott had work available online. I would have started reading long ago.
I often did my homework using njstar word processor. http://www.njstar.com.
You type the romanji and it converts it to hiragana, katakana or kanji. Lets say you typed 'nihon.' The hiragana appears, and all the possible kanjis for that phonetic appear and you press '1' for the first kanji, 2 for the second, etc.
If you know what you're doing, someone will pick you up, just send your resume to EVERYONE. Even if the job description doesn't exactly fit you, send it anyway. The advertizement for the job I'm working at now wanted a master's degree in CS. Not that that isn't a great thing to have, but many jobs dont require it, just that's a great way for companies to filter out people because a CS degree pretty good indication that you know what you're doing.
I didn't realize how golden anyone with UNIX knowledge is.
I really like my cable provider, nyc road runner. My only problem with them is that they have dynamic IPs. I used dhs's 2y.net domain to register my server to a dns name. I created an shellscript to automatically go to dhs' homepage and update their dns name to my IP.
If anyone wishes to have the script, please mail me.
People keep on speaking about intellectual property, and such, but I was under the impression that originally the point of record companies was solely distribution of music. Today (or perhaps moreso in the future when even more people have the internet) distribution is a non-issue and the only _real_ reasons to have record companies is monitary. Personally, I would see no problem with record companies all dissapearing, for then we wouldn't have problems of certain artists dropping 2, 3 medocre albums a year just because they're currently popular and will make more money this way. If there were no record companies, not as many people would go into the industry "to make money" but moreso for their love of music and preforming.The "little guys" wouldn't have as bad a chance of getting recognition as musicians because the "big guys" wouldn't have as big of a monitary reason to keep them down. There probably wouldn't be big marketing campaigns - just distribution of good music. If someone likes music, they'll recommend it. I realize there are costs of recording studios and such, but when a person first buys their first $300 violin, they don't normally do it in hopes to make a CD, they do it in hopes to become a skilled musician. Why do we want record companies at all now that the need for distribution is gone?

I'm sorta shaken by ID's delay in releasing builds of q3test for linux and mac. I hope this doesn't become an ongoing thing with updates once the retail product comes out, considering it's paid for.

or something like that =)
They use keystone at my job. Very happy with it.
