.procmailrc

4:18pm JST Monday 25 October 2004

Today I slept late and then settled in to study. Right after I checked my email. Oooh got an interesting project from Fred; he wanted to borrow one of my email addresses for scanning all the emails in a yahoogroups email list that gets a ton of email every day. Like 200 messages per day. He wanted to parse the subject line for anything matching

.*OFFER.*(chest|drawer)

We got it all set up, all tested, and procmail was rejecting all but the messages he wanted and it was all great, but, for some reason, we couldn't get a verification email from yahoo sent to any(?) of my addresses.

I even turned off the thing, and it still wouldn't go through. The verifications weren't being trapped by my personal spamassassin, and I don't think there is a system spamassassin on the system I'm using.

Weird.

New old bike

Louise brought my new old bike to Jiyugaoka, but I forgot it was coming and rode my bike here. So Hitomi is going to meet me here with an air pump and ride home with me tonight.

Work

Work today:

Six lessons, six no-shows.

Now, it's actually only 4 students, but two of them doublebooked me. Including the one that I'm supposed to be teaching now; she's 15 minutes late for her second lesson.

This student has no-showed for her last 15 lessons, including 5 for me.

hitomi bike ride

11:41pm JST Monday 25 October 2004

Hitomi and I rode my bikes home from Jiyugaoka tonight. She did well, though the bike is a bit too big for her, even with the seat at its lowest setting. One slightly dramatic dismount, but no blood, so she did better than I did when I first rode TJ Bike.

We rode with her in the lead (in areas that were basically well-lit) so I could watch her, and so no one would come up from behind and not see her. On the backside of the bridge that goes over Nambu line, I rode first because the sidewalk is narrow and dark, with a fence on both sides, so no place to bail out. TJ Bike has a headlight, but the other bike doesn't.

It took 42 minutes to get home. Usually it takes me 25 minutes.

Definitely fun riding around with her. Definitely want her to have lights if we ride again at night.
