Oatmeal with brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice and fresh peach. Heavy rain last night. Our ceiling started leaking again. No damage—just a little wet carpet. I put a bucket under the drip and moved one of our framed pieces of art aside from the drip area. Student computing committee meeting: with the help of many special guests, particularly Bill Gayle, we mapped out the student data flow through campus computer systems. A very productive meeting. Staff meeting: I gave a KeePass demonstration. Lunch with Melissa at the cafeteria (she brought her lunch). I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn off the cob. Windows updates on the server. Checked on Retrospect configurations. Lots of small Web changes: news, calendar. Listserv work. More Student Computing Committee work. Dinner at home by myself: fusilli bucati with red sauce, peas, almond cookies. Today Melissa gave me a new package of the Japanese instant portable drip coffee for me to send to Michael O'Brien. She found it in Japantown! We played the rabbit game from Honda—hate something, change something, make something better. Weird, but entertaining. Started playing Archipelago by woolythinking. Like Myst, except it's free! (And the production quality isn't as great.)
