A couple of days ago Patrick and I watched a program of American Masters on PBS about Alice Waters and the New Delicious Revolution. It was okay as documentaries go, but it was frustrating that they talked mostly about how great and passionate she was about her ideas, and less about the details of what her ideas are. Who was "Theater-Opera Director Peter Sellars" and why was he in this documentary? (My guess: he was a friend of someone making the documentary and wormed his way in even though he should have been left out.) Ate half of my usual oatmeal breakfast. I'm tired of oatmeal! Ate an orange. Student computing committee meeting: we asked systems owners to come to discuss how to resolve problems with systems not talking to each other regarding (mostly) account creation processes—this seemed to me a very productive meeting. Lunch: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn from the cafeteria. Doctor appointment. Linkchecking. Updated current student news: Our Nortel VPN is not compatible with Apple OS 10.4 Tiger.
