You're Gonna Kill That Girl

Hmm… yes­ter­day…

Woke up and worked on the web­site. Basi­cally mak­ing the “new peo­ple” page so some­one can safely help the web­mas­ters add peo­ple to the data­base. But it’s not ready yet because I can’t get it to cor­rectly check for dupli­cates before inser­tion. Guess we’ll be han­dling it our­selves for a lit­tle while longer.

Oh, and Erik has to make a “merge peo­ple” page, because I’ve acci­den­tally done many dou­ble entries on old folks. (As you can see with the “Remove” peo­ple in the fam­ily line viewer.) Merg­ing will be incred­i­bly com­pli­cated. Here’s a crash (no pun intended) course for the non-​CS folks:

To remove some­one safely from the data­base, we would have to search through it for every sin­gle time they are ref­er­enced some­where else in the data­base. This might be by name, ID num­ber, or some­thing else. Then we have to make sure every sin­gle ref­er­ence points to a cor­rect entry that’s not about to be deleted. You see, if we were to sim­ply go in and delete some­one from the data­base, and not fix all ref­er­ences first, they will either point to the wrong per­son or to dig­i­tal garbage. And when some­one tries to look up or use that infor­ma­tion… bad things will hap­pen to the website.

Got invited to Fuji’s, but I was being veg­e­tar­ian for the day. For those of you who didn’t know, I was sup­posed to be veg­e­tar­ian on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day, because it was Buddha’s birth­day on Sunday.

I’m a bad Bud­dhist because I’m sup­posed to (well, the way my par­ents do it… there’s many dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions) be veg­e­tar­ian for the day before and of every full moon. The full moon on the fourth month of the lunar cal­en­dar is Buddha’s birth­day, and the most impor­tant one of the year.

But any­ways, yeah, I was sup­posed to be veg­e­tar­ian on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day, but I slipped on Sun­day. Went to FuBQ as soon as I woke up, and had half a burger before I remem­bered. That was the more impor­tant of the two days, too. So yeah, I was veg­e­tar­ian again yes­ter­day to make up for it.

After I did as much as I could with the web­site, had cereal for lunch and just chat­ted and forum whored for a while. Quote comes from the con­ver­sa­tion I had with Sheena -

If you don’t get it… I killed her in Assas­sins after she bid on my mom­mies. I’m sup­posed to kill Eddie C, too, but he bid from beyond the grave.

Then it was time for ExComm. Except I missed the bus, so I only got to see the sec­ond half of ExComm. It was odd. It was out on the quad, and every­one was idling play­ing with their Assas­sins weapons. Miyama is like a walk­ing bill­board for Chris’s weapons store, too. His weapons are amaz­ingly good-​looking and functional.

Then time for the meet­ing itself. Things went fast. Basi­cally a bunch of “thanks for a great term.” And then LFS and DSKs. LFS was straight­for­ward. DSKs, though… I wanted to vote for every­one who was up. All the speeches were great. Good job to every­one who stuck around for all of them, espe­cially new actives. DSKs are the high­est award our chap­ter can give some­one, and it’s great that you care enough to stick around and see the cal­i­bre of peo­ple who earn them. Actu­ally, it’s more amaz­ing to see the peo­ple who have done so much and haven’t got­ten one.

After the meet­ing, MNR was at 7 – 11. But some of us wanted real food, so Joe M, Bran­don, Emily, Ian, Aaron L, Elyson, and I went to Woodstock’s. Had a great veg­e­tar­ian pizza with Aaron L, who can’t have many of the meats found on pizza anyway.

Then Bran­don took me home and I was online for a while doing ran­dom stuff. Watched a really cool episode of Top Gear (by far the best car show ever!) with Eddie C, and then passed out.
