Judging from the title, you may or may not know that I have been spending a bit of time on XKCD's signal to noise ratio IRC experiment - an interesting thing. Basically it proceeds under one immutable rule:

Whatever you say must have never been said before in that channel.

So to repeat something, you must say it differently each time. Each time you say something that breaks the rule, you get muted for (x+3)^2 seconds, where x is the # of your offense, starting at one.

The experiment is quite interesting, and its never boring either.

I sort of faded into the background during finals, and then continued fading over break because of bad news which you can read in my previous blog. However, some good news is that my grandmother is doing much better, and is out of the ICU today!

My flight back to Rochester was filled with delays. Even more than PLatformed!

Basically, I got to Cincinnati, and then my flight was delayed. I was then scheduled for another flight later that evening, which was also canceled. So the airline booked me at a hotel and I spent the night there. Then when I got to Rochester, my baggage was still in Cincinnati

Even through all this, there was one thing that made up for a lot of it. In the hotel I stayed in, there was this little restaurant nearby - a small time restaurant - that served some amazingly delicious burgers. Small restaurants always serve the best food.
