Tuesday: Brand's

[Kragen Sitaker]

Spent some time working on a magazine article yesterday at the
library.  Sitting in front of the Russian section, I was rarely in
people's way, but I still miss the laptop battery that would have
enabled me to get up and move to a different part of the library.

Went to Russell Brand's house last night and chatted with a bunch of
people.  Unfortunately, Beatrice brought up the Hackers Conference,
because many of its organizers were present, and so I was in the
awkward position of explaining to her (and them!) that I needed to
figure out what hackish accomplishments I could cite --- and, worse
still, having to describe some of my more trivial accomplishments,
like the bookmarklet that hides banner ads.  Oops.  Well, if I'm
judged to be too much of a dunce to go this year, perhaps next year.

Reading my old journal entries, I noticed that I used to be a lot more
insecure.  Obviously I still have some room for improvement in this
area.

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra died in August of 2002.  This is a terrible loss after 
which the world will never be the same.
