Patrick made favorite breakfast. Nap. Leftovers for lunch. Patrick and I dropped off the movie at Superstar, then had a peppermint cocoa and berry-peach scone at Peet's. There weren't any good seats available, so instead of staying to read, we walked around some then went to Trader Joe's for groceries. Home. I installed gnome from ports. Chatted with Tony Q, then Melissa. Dinner at home with Patrick: rosemary cheddar puffs, organic greens salad with peppercorn ranch dressing, lasagna from TJ's. Patrick and I watched a bunch of Simpsons episodes. I ruined my new server setup because of insufficient instructions describing how—step by step—to resolve /usr out of disk space. I found out how to use the -E option in disklabel, but I made the mistake of using c to change the size of the partition and then rebooted. Now upon boot it gives a lot of errors about the disk or the partitions. Oh, well. I'll just redo the whole thing and it's better that way learningwise anyhow. /usr had filled up because I extracted all the ports to /usr/ports. Next time, I'll make /usr 20 GB instead of 2 GB. (The OpenBSD FAQ recommended tripling 250 MB would be sufficient—not true.)
