Also, yes, I fixed my RSS feed. As far as I can tell by reading the specifications, it was a legal XML document (0x1B = ESC appears to be a legal Unicode character, and the XML spec says that documents can contain any Unicode characters with a few specific exceptions). But more than just Livejournal was rejecting it, so I figured I'd just remove the offensive byte for those parsers that are not yet ready for our Space Future. |

Yes, now your blog is all angsty like LJ.
Have you checked to see if the radar LJ feed is fixed? I think it is. |

The secret of grad school is doing things in the free time you don't have.
The Lulu proceedings are now linked to from sigbovik.org, and a copy ordered from them has been given to our secret nerd spy operative planted in a high-level position in the the library administration.
The book looks great, much better than depicted on the website. It is truly the super executive deluxe edition, for it has Mark Stehlik's (pseudonymous) contribution, and Greg Hanneman's "uh" paper, neither of which made it into the at-conference proceedings. |

Yeah, you can see some of the smooth text at the right. Was it like a faxed-in wrong-deinterlacing GIF? |
| |
The best part is, the rest of the check is actually quite clear. Excellent length, much improved. |

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
I got a 2030 on the NEW SAT, but I had very spaced out scores (two were in the 700s and one was in the 600s)
I think the 'anonymous' comment above (the extremely long, yet detailed one) says it all. Obviously, you need to be getting at least a 2000 on the NEW SAT to even attempt Ivy-League Universities, but above a 2100 is typical for any of them: [Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, UPenn, Yale].
Don't worry though, there are over 4,000 Undergraduate Universities that are out there. There is a college for everyone, and don't be discouraged by low SAT/ACT scores, or by a low GPA. Extracurricular activities, personal statements(essay), volunteer work, job experience, athletics, etc. are equally as important.
Extremely selective schools rarely accept more than 15% of their applicants anyways. For example, Harvard only accepts 11% of its total applicants each year, meaning that out of the 15,000+ students that apply, only about 1,650 are selected. Schools like Tufts, University of Chicago, Stanford, Duke, Amherst, Williams, etc. are almost as good (if not as good) as the Ivy's, but are not as highly regarded because they do not have Ivy status.
Just remember that life is not based around SAT scores. |

Rob: it appears that livejournal is being crapped by my "Space time" post, which contains some UTF-8 characters. I think it's basically broken on their end, alas. I don't know what I can do to fix it except post some more until that one is no longer on the head of the feed.
Adam: I'd need to port the networking library I'm using to IPv6. It probably wouldn't be hard, but right now the interface does assume IPv4. |

Adam -> The program would have to open an ipv6 tcp listener socket before anyone could connect. An ipv6 address to the machine alone doesn't suffice. |

Would your code go crazy if you gave the server an IPv6 address and someone connected? |

Probably not... what do you have in mind? The web server is what provides the request's IP address, but the web server is only IPv4. |

Is there somewhere in main.b that I can edit to add IPv6? |
