# 11 PM

Today I went to Fairfield for a company meeting. (There is no office and we all live scattered around the Bay Area; Fairfield is about equally inconvenient for everyone.) I got to meet Nathan Sidwell, who was visiting the States on account of SIGGRAPH 2002. Among other things, we played miniature golf at Scandia Funland, which is your standard arcade plus minigolf course except it's all Scandinavian themed. We don't know why.

new keyboard

Not exactly new. I had an old dirty keyboard in my closet for awhile; I got it out and cleaned it. The keys don't move as smoothly as they could, but the right-hand Shift key works properly. Now I just have to retrain my fingers to use it.

what are they teaching at hogwarts these days

Honest to ghod actual email I received today:

Can someone please tell me what a Segmentation fault is?

I guess they're diversifying...
