The other day, I was doing a bit of "independent thinking" - I was daydreaming. And I was thinking about wiki's (think wikipedia, and how you can edit whatever you want) and how useful they would be for a group project. Instead of passing versions of the same document around, and having people rename it when they do change it, and then reposting it again, or emailing it out again, why not have the document in a single location and have people go to it to change it? Damn good idea if I do say so myself. So then I got to thinking, "Maybe I could create a website that lets people post whatever they want to it, and lets other users (everyone or just restricted users) change it and do work on it." Then I also got to thinking, "Someone's probably already done that." So I googled "free wiki" and I found www.schtuff.com. Great site. It lets you post whatever you want, under different "spaces" and then whoever looks at that site can click the "edit" button, and edit that document however he/she sees fit. It'll make a site like this: http://whateveryouwanttocallit.schtuff.com. So remember schtuff.com next time you're doing a group project, or something that needs to be collaborated on from afar. Again, good luck with finals. Also, check out caribou coffee in oakland, on forbes ave, across from starbucks, in the old cricket wireless building. Great coffee. Oh, and Peter works there too.
Oh, I made a test wiki for this btw - http://mostlyramblings.schtuff.com
go edit it - defile my space, I don't care - it'll be fun.

haha, moderate, moderate
I just looked up on my little blogger "create a new blog page" and saw the button "moderate comments." I thought it said "moderate" like "average, bland, fairish, not-too-extreme" instead of the intended meaning. Silly mind.
It's snowing right now, and it's weird, cause the snow falling directly next to the house next door, is falling diagonal to the right, and the snow falling directly next to my window is falling diagonal to the left. Weird snow.
I've been under a lot of stress recently, although I think i'm over most of it. It's just normal finals week again, and I really could give two shits. I'll study for the tests, hopefully do well, and that'll be it. That's the way it normally goes. But - the difference this semester, was the almighty "Group Project" times 3. Two of them are completely finished, and I just have to put the finishing touches on the third one, but man did they suck. I'm not saying that some people in the groups didn't do enough of the work, but some people in the groups didn't do enough of the work. Wow, look at the size of those snow flakes. oops. ADD. pardon me. Anyway, specifics aside, I'm not sure if I've ever been so stressed all at the same time. And I still have more work to do, but i'll tell you, sitting around for a few minutes a day and just breathing works pretty well. No seriously, take 5 min and just breathe.
Which brings me to one last thing - I've made a realization - I'm not a chill and relaxed person. I thought I was, for the longest time, but I'm really not. I mean, even when people had to tell me to CTFO (chill the [favorite f-word] out), the thought never crossed my mind that I don't just chill much. It actually hit me when I asked claire "you would describe me as a chill person right?" Her reply: "Umm, not really.." It scared me at first that I'm not this person that I thought I was, but I think i'm good with it now, because i really enjoy decompressing now. and i'm working on relaxing a lot more. It's good for me. Maybe i'll live longer or something too. Nice.
good luck with everything this week everybody
