467+: bad ui's and the spirit of cedric krumbein.

on telegraph avenue, my friend kim.
being ever so photogenic.
after three years of collecting dust, my diploma was finally picked up. in the words of the oh so eloquent chancellor tien: "go bay-ahs!!".
a poorly designed user interface on weather.yahoo.com led me to believe that toulouse was an arctic 8 degrees fahrenheit, hence the eskimo gear.
it turns out it's not much colder than it is here. the jacket might still come in handy i suppose.
and these gloves which marci gave me.
i'm leaving for france in two days and as you can see, i'm armed with an assortment of language guides. missing in the picture is my excellent teach yourself french book/cassette. highly recommended.
in the evening, we thought it'd be nice to have a 467 soda reunion.
and so we did. shown here: rich "wank! crc error." martin, legendary myrinet bug finder and member of the old school now crew.
chad "warez" yoshikawa, geocities slummer and pete rose fan. he hacks for scale8 now.
lok "why cad?" liu, passer of the mpi torch and one time explorer of the paragon bit trenches.
the beginnings of a real pot. i'd also like to point out lok's separate bowls for his sauces -- for no particular reason.
roger, film student, rich's brother, and key character in numerous 6300 claremont tales.
coming all the way from the south bay, tao ye also decided to join us. while she was at berkeley, she sat in the office adjacent to ours. and stomped down the hall all the time!
despite this being a monday, food was plentiful.
and so we ate it.
and when all was done, took this photo for the records. front: chad and lok. middle: rich. back: me, mimi, and tao. the observant viewer will note the spirit of cedric "i am tall" krumbein in the foreground. what ever happened to t-cedrik? it remains, to this day, a mystery . . . dun dun dun!
