I arrived at work this morning to find the AC off. There was a scheduled shutdown last night, which I knew about, but I neglected to apply that knowledge and stay at home this morning.

I’ve spent a little time this morning trying to install Ubuntu Linux on an external drive attached to my PowerBook 17″ (G4). I had some difficulty getting the advanced install CD to do what I want, so now I’m downloading the LiveCD to try that.

…

The LiveCD wouldn’t install a bootloader either. I don’t have time to mess with it today.

We spent some time meeting the the IB/VRE people, and they’re off to lunch with Rob and Umar for the moment. Therefore, I’m going to do my weekly review, because it’s that day.

…

Finished the weekly review. I’m really feeling tired today, and there’s a lot of the day left. I’m taking care of my end-of-week activities, and the next one is to windex my desk (it’s glass). Therefore, I think that’s enough for the day.

Today has not been very productive. This week has not been very productive. I’ve done a lot of things, most of which really needed to be done, but my projects have not moved forward satisfactorily. Blah.
