Well, today was my advanced functions exam; so needless to say I was less than excited to wake up this morning. Long story short, I got a 97% on the exam (which is a big deal for someone who failed grade 11 applied math — would've got 100% too, if it hadn't been for a stupid stupid typo)...

and once I get home, what's in the mail? a letter from neon magazine telling me they'll publish four of my poetry/flash fiction pieces on the upcoming issue.

?? and last week was horrible and I was in a foul foul mood.

I guess today is making up for it haha

Congratulation Moe, that's great ! I remember I saw a short animation of yours on... youtube ? You did that long time ago I think. I remember I liked it :smile:
 
Well done Moe.
 
thanks! yea I'm damn excited :biggrin:

I remember I saw a short animation of yours

yea I used to be into animation... "The Health Show" lol... I think 2006 I made them. And "Lessons In Human Anatomy." Seems like forever ago.

Animation was too much repetition for me though and the process is too long: those two 10 minute animations took me months to make. I like the instant gratification of writing haha. making the voices was always fun though.

Congratulations!

That reminds me, I've got a couple lottery tickets from June 14. They're not losing tickets until you check them, right?

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
