Diary: June 2004
I have set up an NTP server on one of my machines, and have all my machines syncing with it, which is nice. I thought I should do that since I'm running my own mailserver now - it was a little confusing to get e-mails that are arriving 45 minutes in the future...
So, today I woke up, had a shower, and did some work for tonbschl, so I guess I'm not totally unemployed. Then installed the new Firefox - not keen on the theme, the memory usage, the blah blah blah, it seems like a step backwards. Never mind ...

So today, I bought something from an Apple shop.
But I'll come back to that. In other news, Tristan and I have managed to get some clothes for the ball! Result. We turned up on Tuesday to try and get them, but they didn't know what their stock was like, so they told us to come back on Thursday.

Well, it was the Summer Ball was yesterday. We met up at Laura and Hannah's house for food, before going up to campus. Having heard of the shambles in past balls, I was surprised and impressed with it all, it was very well organised. Here are a couple of photos:

Leela's flight from Gainesville was cancelled yesterday, so she took off earlier - she is now somewhere over the Atlantic, and will be landing tomorrow morning at 6 AM! Woo!
Delta have a flight notification service - you tell them your e-mail address and the flights you are interested in, and they e-mail you whenever there is a change. I got an e-mail at 18:03 saying that the 4467 from Gainesville had been cancelled. I rang Delta and found out the new travel plans they had set up for her, and then rang her mum and told her.

So, yes, it's been a while since I made a proper diary entry! I have gone back and written up the two place-holder entries for the Summer Ball and Leela's flights, so you may want to read those first and come back to this.
So, how come I haven't kept you all up to date with what I've been up to? Well, mostly because I couldn't be bothered, I had better and more important things to be doing.
What I didn't say in the previous entry about Leela's flights is that I had ...
