For some reason, the idiocy of our bomb threat happy
people continues. 12:34PM - Evacuate to the other school.
Come to find out, the administration had known about the
threat for 20min-30min before the actual evacuation alarm
went off. They made time to move our lunches to the other
school... Of course, there could have been a bomb ticking
down those minutes, but there is the assumption made that it
isn't real.
That assumption is not very safe, in my opinion, and
we left the other school, returned to ours, about an hour
and a half later. I, of course, was prepared for the
eventuality of staying in another building, so I packed my
laptop case with snacks, laptop w/MP3s, wireless headphones,
and my Palm Pilot IIIx.
Sorta useful, but we were there for too short a time to
really need all of it.
Needless to say, I didn't get to work on the
MOSXS.
What I ran into, however, was telnetd ceasing to work
this morning and being unable to restart the box with the
nifty Restart button in the login window. In fact,
if I want to say something of the usefulness of today, I'd
have to say I tested the fsck capability of the
server.
In Computer Programming I found out that the
tan() function expects radians. Then, with Dave's
help, I fixed my class and did some polygon calculations
using apothem, number of sides, and side length. Wheee.
Oh, by the way, I got my acceptance letter from WPI... Whoohoo! If you go
there and want to clue me in to how good, or how bad, a
school it is, e-mail
me.
