And then they will tweet "nikhil is #laughing", "nikhil is #sad" and perhaps even "nikhil got #slapped" - The cult of microblogging... https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2009/spectacular-failure-success-at/ Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:49:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2009/spectacular-failure-success-at/ Solved 2/12 problems in the first set successfully. Tried to solve 2 more, but not accepted. Can't take the straight concentration anymore. I'm hungry, dropping the contest. This was more appropriate for twitter, but I don't have an account. :o https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/end-of-e/ Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:45:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/end-of-e/ After a long life of wandering and explaining a lot of things, e was trying to figure out what class of numbers to put himself in, then he realized he was transcendental and went to heaven.
