My professor from Design and Analysis of Algorithms class (who is BTW known to be a crackhead) is teaching Big Data Analytics in next semester and since I'm a crackhead too so I thought not only taking up that course but also doing my research with him.
I emailed him about my interest and he asked me to visit him during his office hours. Guess what... I went to his office and the only response I got from him was "I don't know what you are talking about" 
So of course I had no option but to come back and perhaps reconsider my choice. But guess what... I just received email from him saying that I can join his lab as early as starting tomorrow with no further questions 
I'm shocked since I know he doesn't accept students that easily and well though this means giving up my winter vacations and the very little time that I've been having these days for myself but still I'm happy and I guess a little proud too.  Wish me luck

Cool! Good luck
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Good luck! In my experience if you have the guts you can learn a lot from 'crackheads'...

I guess this is what being a "crackhead" leads to.

He probably needed to blow you off because his crack dealer was just about to visit.

The last horrible late night shift at the nursing home is over.
On to nursing school.
Woo. He hopes Doctors without borders won't send him to chad. I figure anywhere they'd send you is somewhere nobody wants to be so I'm wondering why he draws the line. Chad isn't even in the worst 5 I can think of off hand.
Anyway, he's getting a bit ahead of himself. He hasn't even gotten accepted into nursing school yet.
Nor learned french. Though he knows spanish and picks up languages like i pick up programming languages so it's not much of an issue.

Talking about Luton, how's your follower doing nowadays?
Haven't heard anything for quite a while.

Heard nothing - he's probably still ranting away on FarceBok though.

I've been asked to install and update LinkedIn the other day, seems like that was in vain as well. 
|

I'm not surprised - LinkedIn seems to be mostly a hunting ground for geographically challenged recruiters.

Helpers are usually welcome, but there are morons everywhere so one can't be 100% sure.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, Chad is a real dickhead, f*** that guy.
So he's now going to have horrible late night shifts elsewhere?

It might not be top 5; but with Nigeria's Boko Haram insurgency bleeding across the border and it ending up on most corrupt/failed state lists it'd be very low on the list of sub-saharan countries that I'd consider making a visit to.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My wife if one of those people you can trust to organize anything (not technical).
She also fittingly works as a project leader.
So after a long and stressful autumn with a lot of deadlines and to many projects, her company invites her to a "conference" at a spa in Bad Gastein.
Guess who arrives at the airport with my passport?

Checking the passport maybe a little too technical?
OK, I'll get my coat!
