Contrary to appearances, I am not dead, just very overcommitted and *still*
travelling all over, to my surprise. I thought gard student life would involve
mroe time at the Anthill Pub, not in the Red Carpet Club. [UCI's mascot is...
and anteater. If you visit, you'll find out why]

Why thank you very much! Though their immediate insistence on asking about the
Haven;'s gate suicides ruled out my recommending any other W3Cers from talking
to them :-(

We aim to please. Better, by far, than the other way around.
By the way, in a completely different vein, do I sound anything like that
realaudio stream? I mean, I know one's self-perception is affected by audio
resonance through the jawbone, but that session sounded so... young.

It's nothing compared to the one quote TIME saw fit to include from me in
their TimBL profile. Something about Tim being very British, yet still the
life of the party...

Man, I *love* pachinko parlors! It's one of those places that all-but-inspire
even me to take up smoking... constant overstimulation, the story of my life.

Sounds like much mroe fun thatn my sleepy take at Trafalgar Square -- I was
delayed at Heathrow on my way back from India -- you can read the whole
travelogue on FoRK, look for the batch of Khare posts on 1/2/98.
