That could have been at LEAST 4 posts right there.

He writes WikiPLia for and April 1 conference, and you ask if he has free time? He obviously has way too much.

5627. Arthur (p54807e27.dip.t-dialin.net) – 08 Apr 2007 19:02:39 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Do you even have free time?

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.

Livejournal does sux

5622. Rob (gs6180.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 05 Apr 2007 12:23:03 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Google Reader now feadreads your feed for me to read, so goodbye tom7radar on Livejournal, you're not my friend anymore radar tower!

5621. Nels (cmu-152231.wv.cc.cmu.edu) – 05 Apr 2007 11:40:03 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Rob I had the same problem.
Sad face.

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.

5619. jonas (dsl51b61961.pool.t-online.hu) – 05 Apr 2007 05:32:42 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

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.

5616. Rob (gs6180.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 05 Apr 2007 02:47:52 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Dudetom - the feed I was feedreading your reads on my feedreader has stopped feeding me the reads:

why? why?

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

5614. Anonymous (adsl-11-214-206.mia.bellsouth.net) – 04 Apr 2007 23:22:51 [ BAD SAT SCORES ]

1560 on the new sat.

3.2 gpa

wow that sucks, where did my life go. lol

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.

5612. Adam (pool-72-77-31-156.pitbpa.fios.verizon.net) – 04 Apr 2007 22:49:38 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

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

5611. Adam (pool-72-77-31-156.pitbpa.fios.verizon.net) – 04 Apr 2007 21:41:57 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Nice!

Also, you're completely insane. :-)

Oh, I see it is a latex package... well, the sigbovik print proceedings don't have clicky-capabilities! (PDF/X)

5609. Tom 7 (c-24-131-65-110.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) – 04 Apr 2007 21:41:01 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

I don't know what that means.

5608. Adam (pool-72-77-31-156.pitbpa.fios.verizon.net) – 04 Apr 2007 21:13:48 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Nice, but why not include hyperref and enable all those nice features?

5607. jonas (dsl51b61944.pool.t-online.hu) – 03 Apr 2007 16:44:30 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Awesome indeed.

if i get 50 or 40 is it good?

5605. Anonymous (ip72-195-134-99.ri.ri.cox.net) – 03 Apr 2007 09:46:14 [ SIGBOVIK'd ]

Awesome!

In Wikiplia? Well, there isn't really any documentation, sorry. You could look at w:compile.w to see a large program that uses most of the features that it implements (I think 'cond' is broken; don't use it). Or you could look at page:compile.w for a simpler program that might be more pleasant to modify.

Today I made it a little easier to navigate by implementing "default" actions for pages (and using those in links) and by making automatic links between source and compiled programs. It's a little weird because a page can be one of many different things: A program that's run to produce output, or source code that you want to look at, or raw CSS/SVG etc.

But you know, that's what you get for a SIGBOVIK...

Tom I have to admit; I can't figure out how to program anything... What's the status of the latest release?
