A new way to squander away my sleeping hours....

So, after reading all those different blogs out there (Julian, Manick, Anton...), I've finally got inspired enough to join the ranks and pontificate online. So... on to my life. There's a saying....I think it goes like this:

A picture is worth a thousand words....

This is what I've been up to:

There! I've just let the secret of blogging out. In case you ever wondered what kind of "blank piece of paper" us writers have to cope with on the backend, now you do!

For those of you who care to know, I've finally setup the local server (SPARQL endpoint) for my lab.

You can view all of its gory details here.

Feel free to try out this sample query:

PREFIX dig: .

SELECT * WHERE {
?person dig:first_name ?first_name.
?person dig:middle_name ?middle_name.
?person dig:last_name ?last_name.
?person dig:social_security_number ?social_security_number.
?person dig:marital_status ?marital_status.
?person dig:password ?password
}

For the non-technical, you have to select "HTML table" on the right to see a User-friendly table of people's social security number, their usernames and passwords...lovely.

Aside from my geeky rant, I have really really really....(super exaggerated)...really BIG news in BOLD. My game theory class starts this week! And of course, keeping in tradition with MIT's procrastination policy, I still have not even begun writing a lesson plan yet. =D *shrug*, guess I'll just have to wing it with Will on Sunday. I'm thinking of writing a stock-trading game online for the students. Check back later for a possible link...I'm personally very excited about it, and it's gonna be totally awesome!...just like the new Harry Potter Musical.

This tiny box I'm typing into is really pissing me off, so I'm gonna go back listening to Halo and reveling in the glory of gangsta grammar for another hour.
