Creating new user

1:00pm JST Tuesday 15 April 2008 (day 13901)

Problems creating username:

I created a new username on Larac: monkeybutt

I got the Success message via email:
DreamHost Shell Account Activated

But when I tried to ssh to the account, it went something like this:

robs-computer:~ rob$ ssh monkeybutt@robnugen.com

Searching for inspiration

7:40pm JST Tuesday 15 April 2008 (day 13901)

Francois bought a $81k pet who was snapped up immediately for a $5k profit.

I read a lot of news in between chatting with Fred, printing some files, correcting Yurika's homework, talking to a monkey, taping the printouts together, reading more news, breaktime, looking for new email..

And in the last few minutes, I scoped the files that I printed, and figured out what changes need to be made. I assure you and myself and future me, if you're reading: I am *not* being used to my full potential in this job, but for now, I'm enjoying the free internet and free time.

Now going to help Hideo with his website.

hideoasano.com

9:11pm JST Tuesday 15 April 2008 (day 13901)

Met Hideo at The Apple Store at 8pm, and his German friend Karl (sp) explained the status of the domain transfer of hideoasano.com (as of this writing it's just parked) from GoDaddy to the provider Carl (sp) set up in Germany. The new site looks relatively great. Kahrl (sp) said it's old school, but validates as HTML 4.01 (or whatever is the latest standard before 5).

Carle (sp) had the great idea of hanging out, but I declined in order to meet Ami. Turns out that Ami is still working, but I didn't go back to find Karul (sp) and Hideo; I hope they had a nice chat.

While in the loo, I texted Ami today in English. Something like

I am meeting Hideo ton
ight at 8pm, so I migh
t not see you if you c
ome get your glasses.

Because she had left her glasses in my room on Sunday.

She replied back

My boss is angry to
 me.So I will
finish work at 9 or
 10pm.
I will finish call
you.
I want to your
hug...

So, I'm chillin' at Motosumiyoshi now until she arrives in 8 minutes.

During the time that I've been waiting, I finished my reiki charging for today.

Nice. I've got an internet connection here next to Cafe CUTE.

7:12pm JST Wednesday 16 April 2008 (day 13902)

Ami didn't realize the cafe was inside the station, so she walked to the escalator before she saw me ("hiding" behind a bench behind which I couldn't really hide), so I'll have to save that joke for later.

She cooked a lovely dinner after I gave her lots of hugs and massaged and reikied her shoulders. I don't know if they're reikier than they used to be, but I just wanted to use that palindrome.

She made me lunch for today as well, so that was really nice.
