Fear not, young lads and lasses. I’ve got it covered!

On another geeky note, I decided to write a simple little script that would enumerate through known letters corresponding to the digits on a telephone keypad. I’ve discovered that I’ve got quite a geeky telephone number: DGTLVAX. (Alternatively, FIT LUCY :()

I’ve been quite inactive here due to my move. I’m finally nearly-fully situated in my new apartment, and I love it. I have purchased a small computer desk, and now have connectivity. Yay!

candent (KAN-duhnt) adjective 1. Glowing. 2. Impassioned.

[From Latin candent-, stemp of candens, present participle of candere
(to shine or glow). Ultimately from Indo-European root kand- (to shine). Other words from the same root are candle, incandescent, incense, candid, candida, and candidate (in reference to white togas worn by Romans seeking office).]

Use in a sentence: “My, if Yucca Mountain’s not brilliant this evening; it’s candent embers are glorious – Don’t you agree?”
