The thing I hate about the 10K distance is that the pace <b>feels</b> slow when you're running it. It's a pace that feels sustainable forever, if you go out and run just a couple blocks or even a couple miles. But the full 10K distance at race pace never fails to be a humbling experience. |

I tell my old pairs of running shoes, which otherwise look exactly the same, by colored marks that I made on the laces. (See a previous post about "red laces" as used in the SF Marathon.) Those are not good on moist asphalt, so I decided to go with the slightly less worn soles of green laces. |

WOW! I can hardly believe what I am reading tonight on this site!! I also have found a hugh brown, pigskin-like mushroom a few minutes ago in my bathroom! It was growing on a piece of moulding near the bathtub. I immediately went to the web to find out if anyone in the world had come across the same thing as I had experienced. The mushroom(s) was gross!! I asked my husband to get rid of it. He did, now I had hoped that would take care of the matter, but apparently it won't after reading these messages! I am concerned about health problems, spores,etc. I have breathing problems sometime and am really concerned. Our grandson lives with us and is taking antibiotics for conjestion and has sinus problems.
I wish someone knew what type of mushroom it was and something about that kind as I described. |

The, er, ummm, hashing algorithm eh? Heck, I should have known! |
| |
Oh I just listened to that one again and I like it, nevermind! |
| |
I'm with you on all those except... Emperor of Djibouti?! |

oh man, I haven't practiced those in years... Neal and I did once karaoke "Punk Kids" at a party though! |

MD5 is the hashing algorithm used to produce the unique identifiers for each level.The MD5 hashes are 32-character hexadecimal strings like 8640032d0030e7dd5fe7a44997716126. You can find out the MD5 hash for a level by looking at the URL of its image on the level's page on the website. It also shows up in a few other places.
The 'i' key isn't really meant to be used by anyone except me, so it should probably not be so easy to press accidentally. You can feel free to use it, though; nothing will go wrong if you do. |

Question: If you press the 'i' key during play, you get a request for an md5. What is an md5? |

Darkened means I've done all the streets in that neighborhood so it has been dispensed with. It's hard to see progress otherwise at this point, because mostly I am missing a small street here and there rather than some kind of large grid area. The short-term goal is to finish all of the neighborhoods on this side of the rivers ("continental Pittsburgh"), which is about half of the area of the city proper. After that I'll try to finish the whole thing. I always either start or end a run (usually both) at my house, CMU, or maybe someone else's house if I stayed the night. Occasionally I'll grab a ride somewhere or hoof it home from the Waterfront or something like that, but I'd consider it cheating to drive out in order to run a section and then drive back.
I have some ideas for visualizations of the data, like coloring each route differently or plotting elevation vs. distance to show the route and start point trends and distances, but I think I'm kind of saving these as a reward for finishing the first phase. I'm getting really close now... if it weren't for the Great Race and training and travel I'd expect to finish by the end of the month. I completely agree: the maps are the essential way for people to understand what it's about. |

Cool- I had heard about this from several people and had missed the visual (the part I really car about) for the post before. Maybe you mention it but it's not so clear whether you run to these parts of town to begin your "street goals" or drive out to them to begin... I'm also surprised that your map seems to suggest you only run within the neighborhoods that are blackened, which I'm willing to guess is not the case. Have you considered changing the colors of the routes rather than general sections one at a time? I'm not sure how interested you are in generating some sort of audience for this project, but it would be nice to see a few neighborhoods slowly eroded to make the bit by bit approach to completing some neighborhoods more apparent. After all, it is amazing b/c it's a human effort and more detail in your mapping would highlight that. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
My husband and I moved into a rental home with our 2 small children 1 year 1/2 ago and I immediately felt like the air was thick and musty in the house. I contributed that to the fact that the house is very old, yet it had been rented out previously so it was lived in. I began noticing a lot of moisture in the bathroom and that I had a harder time breathing in that room more so than the others. There were water rings around the baseboard of the bathroom. Then one day last year I noticed a small mushroom (not like the one in the picture) with a long white stem and small pinkish,tan little mushroom top on it. I thought it was interesting, but plucked it, cleaned the bathroom and moved on with my day. Last December I began developing breathing problems, wheezing, fatigue, etc. I noticed that the problem began after I tried cleaning what I thought was mold from the baseboard in the bathroom. In Feb of this year, I fell extremely ill and was diagnosed with pnemonia. I was on every antibiotic you could find and was on bedrest for 3 months. In June, I was diagnosed with asthma at 29 years old and was told by my doctor that the bathroom could have caused it. I went in the bathroom today and found another little mushroom growing from where the tub meets the wall. That is when I wanted to find out a little more and it led me to this site. We only have one bathroom and I realize that it will take extensive time for our landlord to fix this problem so I know that we will probably have to move. I wrote this for anyone who may not be taking the mold/mushroom thing seriously since I am currently suffering with a number of ailments at just 30 years old all steming (no pun intended) from the mold/mushroom in the bathroom. |

Yeah, I've heard that too Scott, the thing about 'depressive realism'. I'm inclined to believe it. I guess we humans tend to have a bias towards overconfidence in our judgments, and depression seems a natural tincture for that.
I guess my attitude is our minds are instrumental and if a certain way of thinking makes you miserable, it makes sense to try to stop it unless there's some compensating benefit. Thinking positive does actually really make you feel better. Thank you cognitive psychology!
It sounds like DFW had depression that was really intractable, given he was using electroshock therapy, which I guess is usually only used when two antidepressants don't work. DFW seemed smart enough to understand depression inside and out, so I'm inclined to think he was just up against a tough disease that got him and what can you do? |
