Usual oatmeal breakfast. Student computing committee meeting: very short, only Kevin, Chandler, Heidi, and I showed up. Laptop troubleshooting for Chris. Listserv maintenance. Lunch: Panda Express. My fortune: You will have fortune as you desire. Installed Boot Camp and Windows and some Windows software on Eric's computer. Eric and I noticed that Apple has pulled the Boot Camp 1.4 installer—it is no longer available for download from Apple. Fortunately I had the installer in my Trash and fished it out. Word on the street is that Boot Camp beta will expire when Leopard ships, so we'll need to upgrade pronto come October 26. Home. Had some trouble with code in my journal—fixed it. Dinner at home by myself: tacos, mostly the same as before. Watched Heroes 203 and 204 on the web. I think the Voyagersesque story line with Hiro and Sting is extraordinarily cheesy. Was that Nichelle Nichols in episode 203? Can someone say, "Wondertwin powers, activate!" please? Where did they find the Molly Ringwald look-alike? Well, there's a bit of a resemblance, I think. Recently my friend Domenica sent me the following message: "Hello to all my Bay Area friends! My dear friend Cat is searching for a place to rent long-term up there. She has dreamed of moving from San Diego to the Bay Area for a long time now and she is hoping to make it a reality. Currently, she has a temporary living situation up there for this month ONLY while she looks for (in her words) 'something really nice in Berkeley / Berkeley Hills / North Berk anywhere up to $1400.' She's a graphic designer who has no pets. If anyone knows of any possible rental situation(s) that meets her above criteria, please let me know and I will gratefully pass the info along to her. Craigslist is typically always a good resource for this kind of thing, I know... but I think that the BEST situations tend to arise from the word-of-mouth of mutual friends/connections. :) Thanks in advance for your help... Hope everyone is having a wonderful autumn!" So let me know if you know of anything and I'll pass along the info. One day last week I can't remember which now I had dinner at Chris and Nate's. They bought me herbs because our spice drawer had spices but no herbs. Nate made a very delicious pork roast with scalloped potatoes and fresh bread.
