Here is a suggestion. If you send a homework assignment or a resume as
an attachment, please consider that the person receiving it (an
instructor or potential employer) is likely to get such submissions
from other people as well. If you name your submission “HW1.tar.gz†or
“resume.pdfâ€, chances are that your recipient will have other files
with the same name. It is much better to name your file with some
identifying information about yourself, e.g., your name or user id, e.g., “HW1-CS499-johnson.tar.gz†or “Alice.Smith.resume.pdfâ€.
NYC subway cars occasionally feature poetry excerpts on the inside
walls. Some are great. I was very pleased to see the beginning of
Verlaine’s “Automn Song†(â€Chanson d’Automneâ€). Unfortunately, the
spelling police discovered a typo: “saglots†instead of “sanglotsâ€.
Here is the full text of this wonderful poem:
Chanson d’Automne
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l’heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure;
Et je m’en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m’emporte
Deçà , delÃ
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.
