I cleaned and rearranged my room last weekend. I purchased a table at Sam's Club to put my Sparc 10 on, moved my dresser to a new location, and rearranged my computer equipment. I now have a lot more desk space, but very little floor space. If I had a digital camera, I would take a picture for you, but I don't. I'm pretty happy with the way everything in here turned out, even if I did end up spending three hours filing various papers from last semester. In hindsight, I probably should have thrown the lot of them out, but I didn't, and all is well.
On an unrelated topic, I think I persuaded Joe to write the backend for an online library check-out program I want to put on the ACM website. I was prepared to write an ugly Java™ applet, but Joe is going to write a CGI backend in C or C++ for me, with the condition that I write the html form stuff. I wonder if this will actually happen. I hope so, as it would help in the website portion of the ACM Student Chapter Excellence program. Last year, the top ACM chapter website got $500. Our website is much nicer.
Tomorrow I begin my campaign to get neomail installed on the CEC mail servers. Being able to access my school email through a web-based system would be much nicer than using telnet (or SSH) and pine (or mutt). I have a bad feeling that I'll be unsuccessful, but I'll give it a go anyway.
I had a great deal of fun playing with stortroopers today. You will, too.
