LiveJournal's back! LiveJournal's back!
But the bad news is that I've completely, and physically broken my watch (The part between the strap and the actual watch cracked apart. My wrist feels cold and lonely.
And there's something terribly wrong with my iBook. I need to get an external hard drive asap, and back things up. Important files I'll burn to CDRW, then once I get the external hard drive, I can carbon copy clone it. Then contact Apple and see how I might get things fixed. I hope they have a good turnaround time in terms of repairs, otherwise I may be screwed for math class - need Mathamatica, a program that runs on the computer. Can I rent a computer for 30 days somehow?

Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says.

Date: 2005-01-16 04:54 am (UTC)I've used Mathematica for over a year now, but without buying a copy. I usually go to a computer lab or run it remotely from one of the school's unix servers. It has a nifty feature that lets you export Mathematica notebooks to HTML... if you did that, you could work in a computer lab, then read the file on your computer or a roommate's computer to save on printing fees. That's what I've done for the past year.
