Work

7:17pm JST Tuesday 7 September 2004

Today at work I had a no show during which I talked to Misato, the woman who knows French well and wants to volunteer in Sudan. She's currently not allowed to volunteer there, though; conditions are not safe enough to ensure a high likelihood of her survival.

Before that time, I set up three computers to run setiathome. The machines are kept running all the time. I didn't set up a cron job; I'll just check them periodically. Actually I should set up a cron job on my machine to see if I can do it, and if I have to, I'll do it on other machines. My calculation shows it should finish in about 3.5 hours per machine. 3 machines will churn out 20+ results per day.

Wow. That's exciting enough to make me want to commandeer more computers.

Awesome.

Six lessons today. All of them blue. (Blue is the color of the text on the computer when students choose our lessons specifically.) Three no-shows today. 50% no-shows and all blue lessons is amazing! I've never had that happen before.

I used the time to read about NASA (all the orbiters seem to have sustained no damage during the storm that ravaged Florida) and do email and get a total of four computers to look for aliens via setiathome.

And I checked my email about 100 times.

Kimie, who chose my lesson so she could do her level up test with me, did well on her level up test. Not the best test ever, but, as usual, I didn't grade nicely. Even though she is nice.

There is bigtime wind outside. I don't know if it's raining or not, but it's exciting.

Oh, I also finished Michael Moore's _Dude, Where's My Country?_, which I recommend. Gotta turn the US around and quit being led to war by Bush in search of cash.
