Just like a baby seal

I shaved my beard today. And I got a lot of reactions, so I'll tell you about them.

OVERVIEW:


--->>


=At home=
Becky didn't say anything, but she saw me shaving in my bathroom and she's seen me without a beard before.

Baby girl asked me why I got a haircut. To her surprise, shaving is not a haircut.

=At school=
Megha loved it, she was also anticipating this day heavily because I dropped a hint earlier that this was coming.

Kristin said I looked like a kid, but liked it.

Tom was ecstatic.

Sarah had no big comment like Juan.

Deb was expecting a much bigger surprise today and was dismayed about the relatively small change (she was expecting me to have grown a third arm or something).

Sanjam couldn't stop staring - I think she wants me now.

Yu-ching and Wen-yen were surprised too wanted to know why, Will, why?!

=On AIM=
Kristin found out that I shaved by way of my new buddy icon, since I change it daily.



=At home=
Mom was very sad at the development and said that I just ruined here day.

Other potential titles: The US Embassy Doesn't Want You Know About This Kidnapping in Manila Scopolamine / Devil's Breath Trip Report It started Easter weekend This story starts at Noon Tuesday April 18th, 2017 on Makati Avenue. I just finished a meeting with the Philippines Board of Investments to discuss how my company can expand our business in Manila. (Also saw the QBO Innovation Hub , it was awesome.) I had plenty of time to kill and some emails to catch up on, so it's time for some brain food! I walked right to the hottest part of town, Makati Ave. and Jupiter Ave. , surely there will be something good to eat. And then suddenly, The Guy approaches me, I'm marked. Hey, I know you are you staying at the Jazz Residences? Jazz is about a 12 minute walk to here, and I did not walk towards Makati Ave. from that direction since I just came from the meeting. I'm always guarded with information and paying attention to stuff like that. There's abo

The best number on Google Voice

Image
I got a GV invite today and had to choose which number I want. Of course all the repeated digits are gone (215-777-7772, ...) are gone. Google provides a simple interface to find a good number, but this is the interface I like, grep: ===So I did the following (Mac 10.5 / Safari)=== 1. Download all available Google Voice phone numbers  for a given area code. 2. Normalize the data: grep -ho +1484....... *js | sort -u | cut -c 3- > numbers 3. Grep through to find the best numbers available (some example results shown): # repetition grep "\([0-9]\{4\}\).*\1" numbers >> 4843248432 #pairs grep "\([0-9]\)\1.*\([0-9]\)\2.*\([0-9]\)\3" numbers >> 4842220022 >> 4842220044 # repetition grep '\([0-9]\)\1\{3\}' numbers >> 4849388886 # only 3 digits (mostly) grep '^[483]\+.$' numbers >> 4843344881 # palindromes grep "\([0-9]\)\([0-9]\)\([0-9]\)\([0-9]\).?\4\3\2\1"
