Well, all my tests for this week are taken care of. No big plans for the weekend. I had thought about moving a bunch of stuff out of storage, but I think the plan now is to keep the storage place for one extra month. That stuff is still not taken care of either by the way. I'm curious if anyone reads this, so, if you do, send me an email and let me know. If you don't, well then, you wouldn't see this sentence anyway! Well that's all for me for now. My backup script should be kicking in sometime early next week. Guess we'll see how that goes. I might lose the entire week of posts! Oh no!

Finished grading the PL exams as they have been taken so far. The 101 exams aren't graded yet however. One person didn't show up at all for the 101 exam. And, one person has yet to take the 371 exam, so, we'll be covering new material in class today. Currently, I'm ahead of the game. I've got notes written on the next chapter for PL. Some written for the next chapter in Arch (which we won't hit for a couple weeks now). The closing of the house moves up soon. I think I've given up on trying to get everything out of storage by the end of November. Too much of a hassle to move everything twice. I think I'd prefer to take my time to move things in a little bit more slowly. I would like to get the bed out however. See if its still usable. If not, I guess we'll be sleeping on the floor for awhile or something. As crazy as that is, it could be worse... right? The thesis should be bound up and out of my hair asap. So, very few things left on my busy busy list. I still need to worry about research. I believe my journal paper should be published in the near future. It's listed as the "upcoming issue" Volume 9, November 3, 2004 for JGT. Joyous. Well, that's all from me for now.

Well, I gave the PL exam yesterday. Today is the C++ exam. Exams are such stress. Today I also got a summons notice for the issue with the storage company. I think the owner/lawyer likes to deal in high stress. In any case, we already have a settlement agreement, so I suspect he'll simply cancel the court date. Hard to say however. Anyway, my emacs doesn't seem to understand backspace, so sometimes writing here is a little bit annoying. In any case, things should be all wrapped up by the end of November as far as house stuff and that storage unit stuff is concerned. Hopefully anyway.

I've updated the newentry script that I was using. Now, it uses emacs instead of cat in order to do its text editing. I figured this would be an upgrade. Hopefully it turns out to be. I believe that I'm going to use these scripts in other directories, so now might be the time to think about storing them in a centralized location. In any case, I'm moving along with my house and insurance issues. Hopefully those are all taken care of in the near future. In any case, the issues with the storage place should be taken care of shortly as well. That's all from me for now.

Today is yet another day. Thank goodness for that, right? In any case, this is the second test of my blogger scripts. I think they should be in good working order, but after this test, we'll know for sure right? My second set of exams is coming up. I give a review for one tomorrow night. I give one of the exams tomorrow during the day. Then I have a small period of wait time before yet another exam comes up. I have faith in my students, so I'm hoping that they do okay. I don't see a reason why they would not, but you never know what might happen. Its firing up to be a pretty busy week. I think that somebody is going to rent Bob's house from us, as a subleasee. That would help us because we won't have to pay rent for the period of time that they are renting the house from us. This situation basically jsut fell in my lap, so that was nice. There is the mummy talk this week, a teaching meeting, a mentor meeting, and then the week wanes a bit. In any case, let's see how this script works today - shall we?

Let's see if the new entry scripts are still working well.
