03.08.2004 – Tuesday 3 August – The Hero & the Mouse

• Woe unto those who awake early in the morning, for it is cold, and their toes may freeze. A pox upon those who set eight o’clock compulsory group practicals, for their fate is a sad one.

8am

• Wherein our righteous hero learns about CVS, and is reminded of the shortcomings of open-source UNIX based systems.

10am

• Wherein our valiant hero tutors 1501 for the first time this semester, with Mandy, and finds the labs mostly full, but has no major problems.

Midday

• Wherein our noble hero discovers he is too tired to sit through a two hour COMS3200 lecture, and has to alternate from eye to eye as he doesn’t have enough energy to power both at once – eventually resorting to closing both for only a minute at a time, to revitalize.

Evening

• Wherein our gallant hero eats too much at Govinda’s and feels sick.

  Oh gallant one, how is thy tum?

Comment by Ned – Friday 6 August 2004, 11:26 PM

  Wherein our unwell hero eats an extra strong mint because his throat is sore.
