(Response to Urban Computing entry: 05. Crossroads)

I’ve decided to go with my idea for constructing a dialogue for two people out of language or lines from their favorite “texts”. I’d like to eventually look at all sorts of texts including books, television show scripts, etc. But for the sake of ease and clarity, I’ll be starting with movie scripts. This is [...]

I love presenting, and I love critiquing other people’s presentations. I’m not Kawasaki or Conway, but I think I’m decent at it.

XCTU Settings:
SP setting: 214 (hex = 532/60 = 8 sec)
SP is for setting/reading sleep period for cyclic sleeping remotes. Max is 268 seconds. Since [...]
