Recommendation

Madame Weber,

Comment allez-vous? I hope you are doing well and living the good
life. Besides not
sleeping as much as I should, I certainty am.

I am really enjoying my studies at Rutgers (the french is fast and
furious, entailing over a chapter a week, with a couple hours of
language labs mixed in). A tiny upstart engineering college (Olin) is
interested in me applying as a freshman for the class of 2013.
Admission is very competitive. The school is getting a lot great
reviews. Princeton Review included it in its list of the "25 new
ivies". I would be very honored if you could write an appraisal for
me!

The attached form, along with your letter of appraisal, should be
mailed to the following address:

Office of Admission
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering
Olin Way | Needham, MA 02492

Also, I will be applying to some of the real ivy league schools as a
freshman, so I
hope you don't mind too much if i send another 10 or so your way.

How are the new recruits? Is this what happened to the curve:

A=70%
F=-10%

However, I am sure Diana is keeping the bar high in French III!

From setter of the curve to victim,
Sam Krupa

NKS Summer School 08?

Hi Matthew, do you know if there will be a NKS Summer School 2008? If
yes, how can I apply? Sam

Done

I am too busy to keep this site updated! It will still stay here for a long time, so feel free to read the archives, download the projects, and read the howtos.

UPDATE: Thanks for the kind words! If my time becomes less limited I will go back to bloging!

Viking 256MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory: $2.99 AFTER REBATE

TigerDirect has the Viking 256MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory for $2.99, after rebate! Four of those and you got a gig of RAM! Go here for product page!

iTunes 4.8 Released

Apple has released iTunes 4.8 for download! I can't figure out what the new features are.

UPDATE: Here is what the new version does:

Release notes say 'iTunes 4.8 includes new Music Store features and support for transferring contacts and calendars from your computer to your iPod (requires Mac OS X version 10.4 on your computer).' There also appears to be a some sort of new video functionality as you can now import QuickTime movies.

New Gmail Feature

Mickey R writes "I found a new Gmail feature. When I received HTML emails, it used to show a link "Display all images". Now I also have the option to persistantly show images from that email address. Now I don't have to click to make my daily NYTimes look good. I don't think it's yet a complete feature, however. I cannot find a list to delete these trusted senders--it's also not listed as a new feature under the link that usually comes up on the upper right."

Mac OS X: Not Perfect

The Register has an article about a "mega-patch" for Mac OS X 10.3.9 (the OS X before Tiger) that fixes 19 flaws. One of the flaws would let a hacker remotely take control of a computer. From the article:

The update fixes flaws ranging from the way the OS handles TIFF image files to security controls over how files are passed using Bluetooth short-range wireless technology.

New G5 iMacs

Apple has made the long-overdue update of their iMac G5. All of the models benefitted from 200MHz speed-bumps. All the iMacs now ship with Tiger and a standard 512MB PC3200 (400MHz) RAM. The two most expensive iMacs now sport slot-loading 8x SuperDrives with dual-layer burning. All iMacs have built-in 802.11g and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Review

The Register has done a review of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Review, "the radio series, that became a book, that became a TV series, has finally made it to the silver screen." Bassicly, they don't think it's funny, and "there's little by way of character development. The plot is weak and the film can't decide whether it's a road movie, quest or love story."

My Mac OS X Tiger Review

I have just posted my Tiger review on my other site, Dashboard Lineup. It basically covers the new features of the OS. In the review I cover Dashboard, Spotlight, Grapher (Mac OS X's new graphing calculator), QuickTime Player 7, Automator, Safari RSS (2), that cool RSS visualizer, and all that eye candy (iCandy).
