poem#1

integrated routing and MAC protocols
they
	understand me
increasing throughputting
     in large unicast
             multi-hop networks
follow me because this area is tightly-packed with three or four story houses each with antennas mounted two or three feet above the chimney lets mount Roofnet on the tall buildings on the perimeter of this network silently in the night.
a handful of nodes have been mounted then.
the transmitted power level is set to 200mW
the four other nodes use Atheros AR5212 chip-sets with transmit power on the level of 100mW.
whats frustrating is that using traditional routing we have to wait 15 seconds to measure the time required to transfer 1.1 megabytes that's why we have to do this
do this with me.



poem #2

my mom bought me a happy hacking keyboard
and i play with it every night.
it comes with a PS/2 connector
and i attached it to my PC.

there is no caps lock
there is no num lock
there is no scroll lock
there are no arrow keys
there is no seperate numeric keypad
and there are no Windows keys
this is what the keyboard doesn't have.

it makes me feel nice
that they took all that stuff out
they are all unneeded
the keys are unlabeled
because i don't need that
and the space bar
is nice and long
unconstrained by the absent Windows keys

she paid $1 per a key.
i am using it right now
and it makes me so happy.


poem #3

after class today, my friend told me that "true hackers don't use variable types" and i fell silent because i believed him. my code is full of int char double float and boolean when we walked outside i saw the sun and the trees and all of the dead leaves blowing gently in the breeze and the low hum of the chemistry building that soothes me. i wanted to tell him that love is not an emotion it is a noun but he interrupted me and said that "void * malloc(size_t size)" and that "you should always have an accompanying free() called" defining love as an emotion, we live in pain because it is not a passing feeling that just comes and goes like emotions if you love someone, it is eternal


poem #4

my dad bought me a happy hacking keyboard lite 2 this one has inverted arrow keys, a USB, and another function key. my old one is sitting in the corner it's been there for a couple days now and i know how many good times we had together but its an old version now and i don't know what to do with it. why won't it just let me be?
