One. I have found a very geeky way to show my patriotism.

Shirts that read rm -rf /bin/laden are always interesting and good to wear to parties and school.

Two. I have scheduled my GRE exam, the first major step on the grad ska-ewl passway. I take it Thursday, October 25, at nine AM in Chico. I need all the luck I can get, so if you guys would keep me in your minds that day, I'd really appreciate it.

It's basically the grad school version of the SAT. But I have to do decently well on it to make up for my semi-bad GPA in college. (I know, a 3.2 with all my problems is *NOTHING* to sneeze at, but the grad skewls want a 3.5)

It's difficult to do all this grad skewl stuff, considering, when I went in at berkeley to see a career center rep about it (I only had a 3.0 at the time, but still...I did have the diagnosis by that point), and he said to forget about grad skewl, that no school would let me in with grades like that. So I'm going to need a lot of prodding and stuff.

Anyway, just wanted to share. Yay me.

but of course milady

... am I really one of the few who think the whole
rm -rf /bin/laden
joke got old about five seconds after its initial spread?

Good luck on the exams, though, Katya.

Only seeing that for the first time, I think it won't last.

Still, the luck be with ye, m'lady.

*shrug* it appeals to my sense of humor.

Besides, there's not many Unix junkies in this part of the woods, so by wearing it, I'll get to teach them about Unix on top of it. :)

What about
chmod a+x /bin/laden
? Have you come across that one?
