thx! none too much that Im ready to divulge at the moment, want to keep it all hush hush. But its essentially historical research, and certainly not oriented towards a mainstream/popular crowd...and I don't mean that in a condescending way, but this book covers a pretty localized subject, thus the actual market for such a topic is pretty small and will probably only cater to libraries and historical societies.

Hopefully Ill see a few hundred bucks out of it (not bloody likely).

I understand!

Still that's a great accomplishment and you should be proud. =)

Most I'll ever have published is my name in the obituaries.

that's the exactly the one i got ! *internet hi-five*

jea! my new build has a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD as the main drive and a couple of regular old 2TB HDDs for data storage. really makes a huge difference, everyone should have one.

 

Seems we're all in the same club. Time was I would boot my PC and pop to the kitchen to make a brew before sitting down to use it. Now, thanks to dat glorious SSD superiority, I'm lucky if I can make it across the room before it's ready to roll *smug phace*

While struggling to finish homework I figured out how to convert angles in decimal form to DMS format on my TI-83 so I could get that dangle on dat angle

Nice!!!

Hey I'm having trouble graphing piecewise functions in my ti83 plus... Any clue on how to do that? =(

Not a clue.

Some helpful tutorials appear to be online though:

I'm getting certified to be land surveyor and basically doing academic math for the first time in 10 years. I found out today though that despite my concerns I'm actually ahead of much of the class and the focus is less on theory and more on "know how to do this on a calculator." Last night I manually subtracting different angles, including arcminutes and seconds. Today a guy asked what angle minutes and seconds were. So...I feel a lot better about my standing in class.

That's awesome man! Great job! I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm in a calculus course right now and unfortunately it's all about the theory and showing my work on paper. Calculator isn't even allowed in the exam.

Sad panda. =(

awesome day today. spent about 2 hours flying a 747 in the simulator at work today.

I think you just won that video game competition you tried to start a year or two ago.

flol yeah probably. whats even cooler is that the program we use can actually hook up to the net and play with other people. there are also fighter models we can load in. so i could play the most expensive (taxpayer) dogfight game ever. lol

Got my tax refund in the mail and deposited it today. A little more dough in the bank is never a bad thing.

Started working out and eating right again as of last Sunday. Not even exaggerating, I'm down 5.5lbs and 0.4% body fat since then!

Combination of p90x2 and keto-dieting ftw!

My goal is to be 13-15% b/f and 210-215lbs by the end of the second phase (60 days).

Free cake in my bag.
