For some reason between midnight and 3am I'm at my best as far as math/programing/circuit design is concerned, but over all it seems to be the most productive time of day for me. So while I'm sitting here wondering why that is and it hits me that for a large part of my life every one I knew in person was asleep and I had to find ways to amuse my self, this was way back before routers were a common house hold items and I did all the network admin stuff so we could all share our blazing fast 56k modem, well turns out this was also the time when I always seemed to be doing stupid shit on the computer, back when programs where simple and easy to fuck with, witch leads me to realize I liked it a lot better before every one and there mother was online, most of the people that where online then knew there shit, and every thing was so much less cluttered and bloated. I miss it, and I miss everything I have forgotten about getting in to systems I wasn't supposed to be in, not that it was any ware near as difficult as it is now. And now I'm just remembering all my old handles and the people that knew them, time to go hunting for old friends if I can remember the places, actually I met one at quindergarten a couple of years back in a comp sci lab while I was fucking off in one of my old chat rooms and some one was bitching about their incompetent professor, and I commented on how mine had just killed a motherboard by attempting to seat a stick of ram by hitting it with the spine of a text book. eh that's enough rambling I have a test I should study for I suppose.

While I was cramming for my for my physics test I was listening to one of my favorite scifi series Lensman by E.E. Smith, turns out It saved me at least 11 points on my last physics test, I tend to freak out a little when I'm actually doing a test and question facts that I damn well know, so this guy lets us have on side of a piece of paper for formulas, witch I like because in the real world I can pick up a book and look up say the moment of Inertia for some oddly shaped thing, well in my double guessing my self and having not expected it on this test I had completely forgotten that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, dumb luck I guess but I'm sitting there staring at the problem with my mind blank, and I start thinking about Lensmen then I remember the damn formula because it was in a conversation in the book. Woot yay for scifi.

So I was sending my dad some links and thought I'd throw in my daily reads as well so that maybe he will stop giving me links to articles I have already read.  Then I though what the hell I'll post them to LJ because some of you might find them interesting.

My daily reading in order of interesting and how likely it is that I actually check them on a daily basis.
