Bonus: these write-proof plastic walls have unbelievable standing electric charges, attracting dust and hairs and bits of toilet paper, but also obviating the need for expensive ticky-tack. Any scrap of paper will do!
At least the peripheral wean bathrooms are still first-amendment compatible. And boy, do people sure exercise their rights there. |

Gerry: I drew them in Flash, which is my favorite program for doing the actual drawing. I use a drawing tablet, so it's 100% computer. I would have loved to do the layout afterwards in Illustrator, but there is some weird color problem that I have when exporting from Flash to Illustrator that I was not willing to try to solve at 2:00 in the morning. So once I had the drawings I just exported high-resolution bitmaps and did the rest in Photoshop. Thanks for your comments!
Tom 7 Radar is like in-joke central, so it may be a bit tough to catch up.. ;) |

You can always bring back free expression to bathroom -- liberation! In college our dorm council's notes were posted in the bathroom, with a pencil stuck to a piece of "ticky-tack" also stuck to the stall wall.
While there are debatable public hygiene issues with this approach, it is certainly adaptable to write-proof plastic walls. |

Hey tom how did you make these? Did you hand draw them and then go over it in Illustrator or something?
They look great.

As for the rest of you, I can't say I understand your jokes, but I think I want to. |

Well here's one for ya.
"
ipso falso", because it's the only one I understood and most people would probably get that it was something to do with the signup process.
"failcess" is pretty funny now that jcreed has explained it, but he also mentioned the P word, so I hate him. |

Well, everything is back for me now, having rebooted. Might be different on the third floor. Next time just do your duty and check the water mains! |

Humm. Well, I will think of something for the next version, and then plan on having a key remapper in the options at some point. |

I like that one too--it's cross-listed in theory of comedy, IMO--which I first heard on the wall of the men's Wean 7th floor restroom. Why did they replace joke central with write-proof plastic walls? Do they hate laughter? |

Undoubtedly "Tom 7" is already taken, but the fact that you already regularly use an alias ending in a number could have been quite useful otherwise.
Out of what you've registered, I'm most partial to "ipso falso" myself, but I'll never rally the votes in time. Some day, when someone else needs to choose a screenname, I'll send them to you to pick that one up, along with the others that you will have so callously wasted in your selfishness. |

Blogdar, more properly known as "stalkertron 2000", runs off a computer in my office ("spacebar") that also runs many of my other web sites. But its lifeblood is internet access, which it was deprived of until apparently just now. It turns out my [twm at andrew.cmu.edu] e-mail works just, so my withdrawal shakes are abating a bit. ;)
J: My facilitized office machine is inaccessible too, but I guess because it runs all its services off AFS. |

Wean is eerily empty -- Allison and I walked through on our way to dinner.
Perhaps we can just post here any messages we have/planned to send. But to make it fun, you should kill the IP logging and then guess at who wrote what.
so is blogdar's home on the CS servers? |

GOOD QUESTION! Maybe they are like, actually making progress? |

heh, I think "failcessful" is new. Nice. |
| |
failcess: n. (also failceed, failcessful) The situation that obtains when, after an important operation has been attempted, everything proceeeds silently as if it were successful, even though it was not. Very common in "programming" "languages" such as actionscript, javascript, and perl (if you leave use strict and -w off) where it is sometimes considered a feature.
Have you ever, due perhaps to a typo, called a function or accessed a variable that toally didn't exist and receive no error message whatsoever? Welcome to failcess! |

But I have to press alt-5 to find [ , and doing so while playing "Somewhat Faire" by Feanor for example would not help, nothing at all happens. But of coures I don't even know WHAT would happen if I had a "normal" [ ... ;-) |
