Happy ENIAC DAY!
Feb. 14th, 2010 09:14 amYes, it's that day again... the anniversary of the unveiling of the first general purpose computer, ENIAC! AND NOTHING ELSE. NO OTHER HOLIDAY IS TODAY. (LALALALALALALALALAICAN'T HEAR YOU)
Edit: It has come to my attention that it is also Chinese New Year. My apologies, I did a check on wiki for February 14th for anything of note on this otherwise boring and mundane Sunday, but obviously it did not include floating holidays. So that is another holiday that is today. Happy Chinese New Year everyone, or Gōng xǐ fā cái!! (yes I just copied and pasted that)
(This message is in lieu of a traditional whiny post about my lack of lovelife that you've probably all read before which would change nothing).
In other news, can the Olympics be over already? Bad enough I only get like 5-6 TV channels, one of which is now seemingly Olympic central and the others do occasional specials on it, but it also means just generally less new stuff is airing. No Caprica this week. Btw I love my flist and even though I don't often comment I do try to read almost everything that gets posted on it, but if you're doing Olympic-centric posts, I'm probably skipping them, sorry. I'll skim briefly to see if there's any non-Olympic content, but I'm not skimming very hard, so if I don't see it, well, I guess I miss it.
What else is new? Not a heck of a lot. Had a dream last night about some kind of website that projected 'pets' into the real world, but then the server crashed and everyone's pets disappeared. Another in which I was attending some sort of talk about Space (the Canadian SF TV channel), and got into discussions with the people there about what shows to air and not air. Then went to another room, noticed I'd forgotten my bag in my last seat, returned only to find a girl poking threw it and taking stuff. I shouted thief, and caught her, then took back what she'd stolen even though it was just a pencil case and I didn't have anything. Then when I went back again for the bag (she left behind) it was gone, and somebody else told me another guy stole it, so I found him, shouted thief, and took it back. Everything was in it except the book I was reading, which made me mad and go seek out the third thief. Then I ran into the first thief again and got to talking to her and felt sorry for her and almost gave her money (yes, apparently dream me is a big sucker) but I woke up.
