My typical non-working day involves spending an inordinate amount of time programming sheot. It must be my puritanical roots. All work and no play redeems Johnny's soul and ensures his place in heaven.

One thing I do when I go home from work at 1pm is I remind all the people who have to stay until 5 pm that I'm leaving.

I thought Puritans believed that their place in heaven was predetermined and doing 'good works' did not change their chances of going to heaven.

Puritans were inspired by Calvinism but the term itself refers to the movement and not a denomination. I was referring mostly to their belief that recreation is bad and only acts that submit a person's will to God are good.

Here's today -

Today I got up at 7 am (sleeping in for me...my body's clock is set to rise early from work)
Watched some morning news crap, read some news shit
Ate breakfast
Worked on my R/C truck for about 3 hours (last night it met a curb head on at about 25 mph - the disc brake failed - parts flew everywhere...a real fucking mess)
Ate lunch.
Read some string theory stuff (I got a new book that goes into all the disgusting math part of it...I am trying to see if I can follow that too)
Worked more on the truck
Went to the golf course and did my routine of trying to make 100 3 foot putts in a row. Then practiced chipping for about 30 mins.
Got rained on.
Stopped at blockbuster and rented Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal

I can't keep that up all summer long.

Wake up. Turns on my monitor (it's tired, so it needs some time to get the picture good. An old hard worked Sony Trinitron 19"), visit the WC reading parts the same old comic during the visit. Sit down infront of my PC, listen to music. Check forums. Chat a bit. Play some games. Tries to do some work on some movies. Chats a bit. Wants to go outside. Forums a bit more. Eat. Forum some more. Chat some. Sleep maybe. Forums. Plays etc etc.. goes to bed.

Title?

Post by **tnf** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 2:26 am

Well, you know that Dave and I are reading the Fabric of the Cosmos. It manages to stay very conceptual, using as little math as is really needed. I just got this new book from the Scientific American book club (joined that because I got three very nice molecular biology books for free- one a full blown textbook that would have run me a lot of money...) ANYHOW, I didn't even look at the book details when I chose this one...just the title. Had no idea how complex it would be.

Here's the title;
An Introduction to Black Holes, Information, and the String Theory Revolution: The Holographic Universe

By Leonard Susskind and James LIndesay

To give you an idea of the stuff - one chapter is called "Entropy of the Free Quantum Field in Rindler Space."

I kind of doubt that I will have the mathematical background to follow this, but I'll give it a try...

shoveled 1 1/4" rock into a wheelbarrow then dumped it into a yard 100 feet away for 10 hours. In 98 degree weather, blistering for colorado. christ, I'm beat.

Post by **tnf** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 3:06 am

Sucks when you can't get stuff dumped closer to the yard - I had to do the same a few weeks back for my parents (but it was bark, not rock.) Still no fun.
