Evelyn,
The fact that ktheory.com/~evelyn points to some other site has to do with the way UNIX is set up. Since I’m too cheap to pay for dedicated hosting, I share the same server with lots of other people. There’s no way to change it.

ahhh, i see. that’s so bizarre. unix is silly… and that other girl is lame (not because of unix, but because she is just plain lame).
luckily, most people don’t randomly insert tildas into web addresses… mj excluded.

Most (rational) people don’t use the word “tilda” in casual conversation. Shame.

tilda is a cool word! tilda tilda tilda. it’s like “matilda” only without the “ma.” “matilda” is my favorite book.
tildas however, are not cool. they are dumb. i don’t like them. i will refrain from actually using tildas in everyday conversation :)

oh, i will also refrain from using smilies. most rational people also steer clear of those (i’m 0 for 2 apparently…)

A gentle correction: the diacritical mark “tilda” is spelled tilde.
Evelyn, for more cool symbols check out Elements of Typographic Style–it’s a book I loaned to Margaret.

Those water baloon movies are great. But they weren’t done in space… they were done on the “Vomit Comet”, the DC-9 NASA uses to simulate zero-G.
