Nobody here knows of my famous eggabilities! Upon realizing this, I was forced to prepare omelets for the guys. Peter did up the bacon in the microwave (we were anxious to eat) while he egged me on. Multiple cheeses, bacon, and my very own specialty omelet made for some satisfied customers. I have been unanimously elected house egg chef.

Seth, James, and I headed downtown to my office to help me with setting up the faceplates and getting my computer home. Some of the faceplates don't work right for reasons unknown to me; there are hidden cables everywhere, and we don't know how the faceplates are wired. Yuck. Got my computers and hub and cables into the car, again with their help, and left downtown, following the path determined by the one-way streets. It was truly deterministic: once we entered the first street, there were no choices we could have made but to end up where we did. Driving in downtown Boston sucks. That's not what the streets were designed for.

Dunkin Donuts has these cold, refreshing beverages under the aegis of “Coolatta”. Flavors include coffee, vanilla bean, raspberry, and orange mango. We stopped at the old school DD on the corner of N. Beacon and Market (where I'd gotten off the bus for the U-Haul). I got me an orange mango. It was tremangous. We waltzed through CompUSA looking at network cable prices for the house and ended up buying none. But I got a mousepad.

I inserted my books into the bookshelf, anchored the desk with my G3, and set up our “Network Operations Center” in the hallway: Sun SPARCstation IPC with huge monitor, Apple IIe with TV-style display, and Macintosh IIci (firewall) and Quadra (Web server). Wowsers. Seth brought down his iOpener and we fiddled around with its QNX operating system. He's hoping to install NetBSD on it.

Kelzie called at a wee hour and we talked during some more wee hours. It is possible that I will be going to Wisconsin one of these weekends to see her.
