Usual oatmeal breakfast. Self study work. Met with Carol to discuss the career research page. More self study work—burned the final master. Learned today that OS X 10.5 does not appear to support the burning of multiple sessions to DVD±RW discs. Argh! Hardware inventory. Lunch: leftovers, read from Michael Tolliver Lives (borrowed from Nate and Chris). Snack: frozen yogurt with rainbow sprinkles. Dinner at home with Patrick: teriyaki cow, steamed broccoli, rice with bits of seaweed in it (this has a name but I forgot it and Patrick has gone to bed). Worked on Danny's website: added 2 new hand and foot treatments. Turns out that J used up all his employee discounts, so I instead ordered my new iMac through sneeper. He even figured out how to do it so that it uses my name and payment info for the order and it gets shipped directly to me—perfect! Made accessory purchases. Everything should arrive within the next 10 days, I'm guessing. Woo! When holiday break comes, I'll be spending a good chunk of it reconfiguring computers—installing the new one, migrating data, and possibly pulling out the old ones if the new one is working as expected quickly enough. This will be a major reconfiguration of the rackmount. Eventually, two 4U pc cases will come out, a hub will come out, a switch will go in, new metal shelves will go in, equipment will be shuffled up or down in the rack, some equipment hanging out on top might be stuck inside, the network will be slightly reconfigured, and the entire rackmount will be moved to the right of the desk and the desk moved flush left against the wall.
