I ran into that video-posting librarian again July 25, 2007

Posted by Carthik in Other sites, ubuntu.
trackback

You guys must remember Jessamyn, the librarian who posted a video about installing Ubuntu at, where else, the library.

Well, by some strange coincidence, which cannot be explained rationally, I ran into her again on the tubes. I followed the user profile link at this comment on Ask MetaFilter to end up at her profile page.

Of the billions of unknown users of the internet, we are two.

What are the chances?, I ask you!! The mind blows. :)

In other news, there is no news – I’m on the slow track to the Ph.D.

It’s actually no surprise. She’s everywhere. I think half my friends know her. :)

The small worlds theory states that as the population increases the degrees of separation between nodes within the society decrease. It may sound counter intuitive but as the world gets bigger, it really gets smaller :)

3. Chris Waigl - July 26, 2007

I have talked to Jessamyn before, in totally different contexts.

I just want to say “Welcome back!” to carthik. I’m glad to see that RSI hasn’t silenced the blog forever.

That original video was in a MeFi post originally, I believe. That might cut down the degrees.

FYI, Jessaymn *helps run* Metafilter.com. Her Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessamyn_West_(librarian)

7. Carthik - July 28, 2007

I guess I should have tried to find out more about her before I posted that video earlier. I never thought much of it then.

Thanks for all the info, folks. Thank God for interesting people!

So I was off work and surfing and found this place and thought I would join up. I don’t have much more to say right now except I need to start reading some of the older posts to get up to speed before I can start posting.

Good Day

Just wanted to share my new experience.

If your system fails to start due to an error related to lost HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other important system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run “attrib -H -R -S” on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Run “Bootcfg /Rebuild” and then Fixboot

Regards,
Carl

,Genus, Species

Felines are a ‘Family’ of mammals in the animal kingdom.
But what does this really mean and how does it relate them to other animals?
Science understands the organization of nature to be hierarchical with each step on the ladder or branch of the tree describing a degree of physical similarity,
and from more recent findings, genetic closeness.
This branch of knowledge is called taxonomy.

Police say Macaulay Culkin’s sister Dakota Culkin was killed after she stepped in front of a car in west Los Angeles.
Police spokesman Richard French says Dakota Culkin was struck Tuesday night after she stepped into the street. She died a day later at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering massive head injuries.
French says there is no active criminal investigation.
Police say the driver stopped and tried to help the 29-year-old. Officers determined the motorist wasn’t driving drunk and followed all laws.
Macaulay Culkin’s spokeswoman, Michelle Bega, said it was a “terrible tragic accident” and the family had no further comment.
The 28-year-old actor starred in the “Home Alone” films.
Today read Google. Excellent film and Calkin wonderful actor. But why God takes the youngest?
