...and RPI makes three
In the wake of Saturday's Carnegie Mellon decision, my acceptance into
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute seems a
little, well, obvious. But it does make me three-for-three (or four-for-four,
if you count the two CMU schools individually) thus far, another
good sign. Hey, it can't hurt to be superstitious around this time of year.
The big MIT decision should arrive next week. Stay tuned.
Back to March 1999, or to the year 1999.
Where am I?
This is Weill Aspects, the official news archive of
Jason Weill Web Productions. All articles posted to the front
page end up here. This page was generated automatically by a series of
Perl scripts.
Articles in Weill Aspects are organized solely by date. You may find the
Google search in the left column to be useful if you are looking for an article
but do not know the date on which it was posted.
Weill Aspects is composed of static web pages generated as appropriate when
a new article is posted. It was developed in May 2001 as a way of managing the
content on this site. I also used it extensively while in Japan, during which
time I did not have continuous access to the Internet. I was able to write
daily updates during July and
August 2002, pack the files onto a CD-R or
memory device, and upload them from the Internet-connected computers at school.
These scripts are all hacked together in less than elegant fashion, and
I don't plan to release them. Some of the design that went into Aspects also
was used to develop Livestat, a suite of
Perl scripts to process statistics for academic competition tournaments.
Livestat is available freely.
