i don't know. but if you want the whole list, PM me and i can email it to you. i downloaded their excel file.

yeah, i'm kind of sad too. i think the NSF is retarded to let people 'hack' (ps, that's not really a hack, if the info is sitting on the server, without any kind of protection) what they have probably been sitting on for a week. i hope someone on their side is following this and sees that the awards got leaked. heck, we should email them.

well, congrats. thats great new for you. now i'm moving on with my life. :wink:

double check the awards/HM list on fast lane. when i open it now, it's showing the 2008 by default, but i don't know if that's cuz i 'hacked' it. 1) from FF 'web developer' toolbar: Miscellaneous > Edit HTML 2) around line 67, add: 2008 3) click 'Apply' button 4) feel like crap.

let me know if you find your name on this, so we'll know if i found the real list.

crap. i just found the awardees list, and i'm not on it. i tried the cheesy "hack"--basically live editing the html using the web developer toolbar, adding the 2008 option for the drop-down control, and reloading the html. bah humbug. congrats if your name is on the list.

holy crap. my heart was beating so fast as i was scrolling down to the T's. my name's not on there...so who knows. of the 5 people in my program who applied, i found 1 person's name. this has to be a legit Honorable Mention list. now...did i do better, or worse than this? :shock: :shock: :shock: EDIT: 2 people from my department are on the list.

i don't know. call it blind optimism, but i think its possible that not everyone who won the NSF can see it from fastlane yet. :sigh:

i can think of a few words... :x

Thanks for calling. That's so strange that only some can access their awards. How'd they drop that ball. So, I guess we can keep in a holding pattern until Thursday at the earliest.

same here. (hoping those aren't the losing categories.)

now i wish i had written my proposal on: "How to announce acceptances and rejections of a fellowship." certainly they would've funded that, right? (of course not...)

yo. that's wack.

hmmm. i wonder if they roll out the winners alphabetically, or by discipline. any guesses?

wait, have people gotten award emails?

i told myself i wan't going to hit "send/receive" for a whole hour. i made it 37 minutes.

man, an April 1 announcement would be bad, either way i think. how many times are we gonna have to say, "no, seriously." for better or worse.

ug. so do i even bother checking my email tomorrow during the day at all? what sucks is i'm supposed to be writing a qualifying paper, but i can't finish a paragraph without: 1) checking my email 2) checking FastLane 3) checking this thread 4) searching technorati/google blogs for "nsf grfp 2008." in that order. i'm pathetic. at least when this is over i might be able to get some writing done. :|
