Nick Black. I run this wiki. Here are some other data streams I generate:
Contents |
- Nick according to zee blackberry, i walked 18 miles yesterday, remembering the good times and crying the hurt out. bought all the books about whales and squid borders had to offer, and am reading them in memoriam. "such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be here." goodbye, elise white. (March 10, 2010 19:41)
- Nick elise died last night. life just got a lot darker than i could have imagined. you were my team. we grokked one another. i'll love you forever and always remember the one person i once truly connected with. a world without you is utterly, profoundly fucked and i have no idea how to begin to deal with it. elise you were the antipode and seven years is far, far too short a time to have known you. (March 09, 2010 10:56)
- Nick citeseer goes down like blocks on frictionless inclined planes. can we not hold a bake sale for it or something? without citeseer, i just putter around rereading david foster wallace essays. (March 09, 2010 04:31)
- Nick is there a better place to be a young, single scientist than spring in atlanta? even the gt girls looked good today, not to mention 40,000 GSU undergraduates on spring break, each hotter than the last. it's gonna be an excellent final semester of ye olde MS. (March 08, 2010 16:06)
- Nick "i'll bet a keyboard of gold against your soul, as i think i'm better than you." the boy said, "my name's nicholas, and it might be a sin, but i'll take your bet and you're gonna regret, because i'm the best there's ever been." (March 08, 2010 12:26)
- Nick word of the day, from p.52 of this week's Economist: "fissiparous". reproducing via spontaneous fission, or having separated / advocated separation from another entity, policy, or attitude. an excellent and surprising word, worth 8 out of 10 in the danklexicon! (March 07, 2010 12:50)
- Nick Camus? check. Samet's "multidimensional and metric data structures"? check. Laptop? check. Thermos of absinthe+pineapple? check. Prerolled cataract medicine? check. Yes, it is time to migrate to Piedmont Park for Spring Reading. (March 06, 2010 15:47)
- Nick is sitting in his zipcar, wondering wtf a keyless ignition is, totally failing, and generally hating life HATE CARS SO MUCH. (March 05, 2010 23:42)
- Nick You delight me, dear. I will nominate your last statement for Best Falsehood of 2010. (March 05, 2010 17:51)
- Nick clearly, there is only one reasonable reaction: a walk through the midtown streets, wearing a soviet greatcoat resolute in the face of fiercest winds, madly reciting t.s. eliot's "the wasteland". ahhh sometimes the old-fashioned playthings are best. (March 04, 2010 23:40)

multidimensional data models are just for fun, and because mr. hasan's book is the most challenging i've found in some time. also, they're pretty relevant to other stuff. thesis is architecture-adaptive I/O models for NUMA and manycore.
you ought offer me a job anyway, because i'm the HNIC. i come on the market mid-may and am sure to move fast! [?] - Nick is on page 358 of Blood's A Rover

I'll pick this up in paperback, because I've already got two series (harry pussy butthole potter and Solzhenitsyn's Архипелаг ГУЛАГ (how's that for juxtaposition?)) mixed across paper and hard, and they piss me off on a daily basis. More importantly, MUST NOT READ ANYTHING BUT PARALLEL SYSTEMS JOURNALS UNTIL THESIS IS DONE. [?] - new comment from Nick
