• finger my main unix account.
• fetch my uiuc ph (online phonebook) entry. (but do keep in mind that since the June 1^st '96 debacle ph is as obsolete as the university phonebook. ie the address and phone number are for an apt. that was in a building that has been torn down!)
• search on my ham radio call sign.
• see what Alta Vista can find on me.
• look at a photo of me.

What did Nicolas do all day?

Many things, but at CML (the Computational Modeling Lab) he worked on a program that drew maps of data about the people who inhabit the USA. Here's a screen shot of the Map program running, along with some techie explanation of what is going on. It was written for the lead programmer at DTG, the company I worked for after CML, in response to his question "Could I code in an OO style?"

Why am I asked to enter a login and password when I click on certain links?

Because some parts of this site are restricted. If you don't know the login/password then you're not invited.

Why a page about a stupid TV show?

Put it that way and you might not get an answer. Basically it happened like this: one week I was stuck ill in bed, and I actually tried to watch afternoon television. It was a big mistake, and Nuzzle & Sizzle saved my sanity. In recognition, I looked for a Nuzzle & Sizzle website on the net, and couldn't find one. So I put up my own.

For those who are keeping track, I've now gone back to my roots and am television-free. I left it back in IL when I moved to CA.

I know that it's 1997 and everyone else has a TV. Everyone? Well, not everyone....

Where are the bathrooms?

It's not a question that is often asked by visitors to websites, but it's a pretty common question during RL visits. So as a public service I'll inform you where to pee in upper downtown Chi' town: in the Terra Museum of American Art, the men's restrooms are on the 3^rd and 5^th floors, and women's restrooms are on the 2^nd and 4^th floors. And to think that some people say you don't learn a thing on the net.
