If I don’t write this down in the next 5 minutes, I’ll surely forget it forever. emacs had some problems opening a file when when it was checked into cvs. Then it had permissions problems when I moved the ,v file out of the way. The problem was that the disk was mounted on NFS …
October 27, 2003 It’s the 300th day of the year, with 65 days left. It’s day 3 of resisting the urge to buy Panther. I actually thought about where the closest place to get it would be if I broke down (Fry’s). Breathing, Breathing… Macintouch is reporting some problems with it, including my video card …
