Pete's Log: warned by the cat
Entry #1307, (Life in General)(posted when I was 24 years old.)
I'm currently holding my office hours for CSE 210. Nobody is coming. So I was having an IM conversation with Meg. At one point Gandhi decided it was his turn to chat with me, so he jumped from Meg's lap onto the keyboard. I got several messages of gibberish (well, they probably actually meant "Feed me!") and then suddenly a dialog box pops up, informing me I'd been warned. Somehow Gandhi actually managed to warn me. Silly kitty. What'd I ever do to you?
My office machine is now invincible. Sweet.
If people tear down your advertising posters in order to use them as decoration, you know you've got yourself a good advertising campaign and a loyal customer base. There's a bunch of Apple posters around Fitz that picture the titanium with the words "Sends other UNIX boxes to /dev/null." I stole one to decorate my office. Two days later, Jim knocks on my door and hands me another one of these posters. He thought I'd like to use it to decorate my office. I'm greatly amused.
I think I gave my best 210 lecture so far today. And it's the one I prepared for the least. I guess there's something to be said for improvisation. Dr Bowyer got me copies of a couple documents about lecturing. There's some interesting tips in them. I'm gonna be a good teacher yet.
