Jan. 9th, 2003 02:33 pmSince many have recently adopted the idea that LJ==DJ, I hereby post a dream fragment too:
There were a bunch of people getting ready to LARP. Mind you, this is outdoor-with-exercise LARP, not rock-paper-scissors LARP. They were all putting on red and yellow felt articles of garb, like tabards, sashes, etc over their own garb. (I realized instantly that this was a game of capture the flag). I ended up on yellow team with a yellow tabard. I was in the process of scrounging up a weapon from a pile of discarded swords, and trying to decide either my own spell list or someone else's, when I looked up and realized that everyone had wandered off. (There were 20-30 of them). I kept trying to catch up, but whenever I thought I'd caught up, they'd pop away again.
I've been having variants on this dream for some time now, where I'll get ready to do something (usually LARPing) as quickly as I can, and then everyone wanders off before I can join in. I know exactly what it means, too. Unfortunately, no one (even myself) seems to have the time to support a LARPing habit during the semester, even just field practice. I'm going to buy 5/8" pipe foam while I'm here anyway; there's always hope, and there's always the back yard. :-)
In other news, I got the nvidia drivers installed. Turns out that hardware acceleration was indeed the key; my ocaml rendition of assignment01 now runs just about as fast as the original C implementation. I am very encouraged by this. I just hope that I can actually put together a decent compilation environment for the 5336 cluster in less than a week.
Only 26 hours until I'm back in Pittsburgh. Fweep!
