Long Lost Emails… Dom’s Dodge Neon.

If you are unable to read between the lines, my fiancee and I will be heading out in ten days to the East Coast for our upcoming wedding. The wedding is the following week (in Philadelphia), and then we will live it up along the Spanish and French Mediterranean coast, followed by a week in Paris (with a stop in trendy Milan sandwiched in-between). As a result, my mind is focused elsewhere (rightfully so, plus the reality that work pays the bills, not blogs; not yet, anyway), and the fact that there is absolutely no news streaming in, at least consistently — JonBenet’s confessed killer aside — so I am spending some time going through my mailbag. (I swear that these long lost emails are just the darndest, but I thought the same thing about the sequel to Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and look how that turned out. Actually… pretty good for Keanu Reeves, I guess. The other guy, not so much.)
Here is one with my personal advisor, Dom the Berkeley PhD student…
Dom is in possession of a website (on CD) I developed for a class I TA’d as a graduate student at Berkeley — one that I’d like to add to my growing archive — and as I busily work on one of my favorite side-projects (when I do not have the free time to do so), geotechref beta, it would be nice to review a few things that were covered in that Rock Mechanics class. So I emailed Dom the first week of August and he responded…
Re: consider publishing your paper…yo,
I’m about to go hiking for a week so I’ll take a look [at the geotechref website, which I had blatantly "marketed" (read: plugged) in my initial email] when I come back.
p.s. your 172 website’s still cookin in my car. I left the door unlocked last weekend and a bum rummaged through the console, but didn’t want it. So your intellectual property’s safe.

Good to know. My response…
Re: consider publishing your paper…Good luck and have fun.
The bum probably realized he would need to re-learn stereo-nets and didn’t want the commitment.
Berkeley bums… perennially uncommitted, pathetically consistent.
You see what I am saying… gold.
