This is the archive of tumbledry happenings that occurred on September, 2002.
Simplification: Every computer on every network in the world has some way it is identified. When computers are online, whether dialed up, cabled in, behind a router, or otherwise, they are assigned an IP address. Servers have IP addresses. Google has an IP address. Your grandmother has an IP address (well, her computer does if it is online).
But seriously.
Exageration-advertising scare tactic: Your computer ‘broadcasts’ its IP address. Definition of broadcast: “cast or scattered in all directions”. Now, your computer can’t hide its IP address, but it sure doesn’t attempt to deliver it to all computers that is connected through the internet.
Heard in the Halls®
“Breakfast club; North overlook to the Quad. Toasters welcome.”
“So he was driving from McDonalds during lunch (½) hour and got in his car with his HiC® on top of the car. He proceeded to get in his car and drive. All his friends waved frantically in an effort to warn him of impending doom as his windows were open. In an effort to better understand his friend’s plea, the driver of the car stopped. In fact, he stopped suddenly enough to spill the red sticky liquid all over the outside of his car (luckily red) and the inside of his car (unluckily gray).”
“This is an electric spark timer. If you touch the airtrack, the timer may discharge through you. Some people enjoy this sensation and challenge the timer for more, shouting ‘is that all you got’ or ‘bring it on’, but discharging this many volts through one’s body is not recommended.”
“If drugs were legal, what would rappers rap about?”
Certainly was fun
Then it’s done
Something about the sun
Added to the fun
In the Morning
One last summer storm
A sprinkle runs into earth
Small puddles form
A kick, a pass
A cheer, a fast
Something about the sun
And the way it moves you

Man, those things hurt. The rest of the Sociology class was kind enough to kill the dang thing though. If you see one, do us all a favor and slap it dead.
Assuming it doesn’t sting you first.
I’m a prisoner of my emotions
Emotion over rational
Thoughtless over thoughtful
The way I wouldn’t over the way I would
What’s it all about
The secret to the mosaic
The map to the maze
The key to the door
Always getting better but something’s truly missed
