A few things
I just spent approximately 4.5 hours installing a PHP mailing list at the LAF website. It works now, it's themed with the site, it's reasonably secure with htaccess - but oh, programming frustrates me. It's nice when it works right, but it's such a time suck, and getting to the "done and working!" point is always a pain in the ass. It'll be nice to be in a field where I can at least claim that it's not part of my job description. ... Good luck with that, me; because I can, I alway seem to end up doing when it comes to writing code. (P.S. you should all totally sign up for the mailing list.)
My parking ticket appeal got turned down. I looked deep into the fine print of the NVCC parking guidelines, and, yes, it does say that a student parking pass does not count as payment for a parking meter. However, it ALSO says that a student parking pass entitles the bearer to park anywhere in the B lots. I've parked at meters dozens of times in B lots without paying. There are no signs posted telling students they can't park at meters, and the meters are, most definitely, in the B lot. I guess I'm just gonna pay it, because I don't have the time or energy to fight it further, but I'm also going to write them a letter suggesting more clarity on the scene. The University of Maryland had a pretty terrible parking situation, too, but at least when part of a lot was meters and part was student, each part was clearly and obviously marked with a different letter on a huge sign!
I've got plane tickets for Iceland and the UK! Yay! Now I have to figure out how to get myself from New York to Baltimore on the evening of Sunday, August 23. Baggage is going to be interesting, too - to and from the US, it's limited by number, but between the UK and Iceland, it's by weight. Hmmm.
I hear that UMass has secure FTP access off-campus now, too! I haven't tested it yet. I am sorely behind in my prep reading for this summer ...
And I found my camera. (It was in my car. (Shut up.)) I may post some pictures later, and discuss the bones exhibit, once I cross a few more things off my to-do list.
