AKMA’s Random Thoughts

Trish and I enjoyed the book for different reasons. I found it an entertaining 3 hour romp in escapist lala land. She found the questioning to be profound and worth exploration. She is already didposed to such skepticism of ny organized religion...especially Christianity.

I wish we could be there. Heck we may make it after all, but I will look forward to your notes one way or another.

I wonder what St. Matthew has to say about all this.

I've been waiting for your "review" because I've heard both that it is "marvelous" and that it is terrible!

I too have been curious of your take on Dan Brown's little opus. I haven't read it, admittedly, but it's almost incomprehensibly popular with the suburban sophisticante set where I live. I should almost certainly read it before I raise the metaphorical eyebrow, but I'm afraid I just can't bring myself to.

I have read it and wouldn't recommend it. It gets horrible press among us art historians for the shallowness of its research. I know we are prone to being pedantic, but it shouldn't have been too hard to find out that Leonardo's last name wasn't "Da Vinci" any more than my last name is "From Dover-Foxcroft." Sheesh. It would be interesting to hear a Christian specialist take on the book, since I can't appreciate that as much on my own; wish I were still in Chicagoland to hear it.

Todd, I was recommending Fred Clark's take on the Left Behind series -- you can find them by way of

To address this issue, we turn to the second place to put variables, which is called the Heap. If you think of the Stack as a high-rise apartment building somewhere, variables as tenets and each level building atop the one before it, then the Heap is the suburban sprawl, every citizen finding a space for herself, each lot a different size and locations that can't be readily predictable. For all the simplicity offered by the Stack, the Heap seems positively chaotic, but the reality is that each just obeys its own rules.

Seth Roby graduated in May of 2003 with a double major in English and Computer Science, the Macintosh part of a three-person Macintosh, Linux, and Windows graduating triumvirate.

Let's see an example by converting our favoriteNumber variable from a stack variable to a heap variable. The first thing we'll do is find the project we've been working on and open it up in Project Builder. In the file, we'll start right at the top and work our way down. Under the line:
