While Waiting...

[x_maker]

For a backwards, butt-end of civilization example of a town, this place really isn't too bad. I can get a good enough cellular signal on the PDA to network out, so waiting for Dani to finish all her legal stuff here isn't the torture it seemed at first.

Next semester's schedule looks... wait. This is not the schedule I saw before I left. Mr. Summers? Why am I taking Phys. Ed? I didn't sign up for Phys. Ed. And why is there no teacher listed? Is this a joke?

And it appears I've been transferred up into Mr. Dayspring's history class. AND humanities? AND English composition? AND Music 201? Not a practical class to be seen! Well, except for the Flight class with Mr. al-Rashid. Looking forward to that one.

Dr. McCoy, PLEASE tell me that you've got something interesting for my independent science work.

Patterns... Is -that- how you figured out all those notes and what would happen?

Sort of. It's also how I did the 256-bit hack back when.

You, I, and Nathan and at least one of my notebooks need to have a conversation.

Manual or algorythmic hack?

Note: the title's only accurate if you include 'unless the hacker has mutant powers'.

Interesting. Nice side-application of your ability there. Can you create an entirely new language?

The thought had occurred to me, but I haven't really done much with the idea so far. I'm trying to figure out an independent study project for my dual-enrollment at the local university, though. Hm. The idea of mutant-power-optimized hardware coupled with mutant-power-optimized software is rather appealing, though I do have a couple other ideas I may explore.

The trick, as I see it, is to develop both integrated and independent hardware/software systems, depending on project and application. I tend to concentrate on the specific hard-coded hardware; function-specific as it were.

That being said, there's a certain joy in creating something out of nothing, rather than just monkeying with someone else's data.

See, I had managed to forget... My hacker soul burns with jealousy. Luckily, the rest of my soul is aware that you can't walk through walls.
