This was a most interesting weekend. Rachel's parents moved and Rachel wanted to go home to unpack. She also had her grandparents 60th (wow!) wedding anniversary yesterday, so it made sense for her to go. On top of that, it was smart for me to go since I could have used a few points with her parents and she wanted me to meet her friends. The weekend was a mixture of surpzingly good and then disappointing. I met her entire family. They are all pretty cool people. I guess that her grandparents like me, I'm "a nice boy" according to them. They are both very cool too. Her parents like me a lot more than they did before it seems too! I guess her dad likes me, which is surprising yet awesome. The disappointing part was that none of her friends were available, so we couldn't see anyone. That disappointed both Rachel and myself. But, life goes on.

I finished up my Java project, did I say that in the previous post? I decided it would be best for me to rewrite it entirely and it worked after 30 minutes of rewrite. Yay!

I am going to be setting up PSG sometime this week on my web site I think. I'm going to have to take the web site down for probably 30 minutes when this happens though. I will be posting before the anticipated downtime.

I asked Rachel a question about computers: what does she miss about computers? What is the one feature, one idea, concept that she feels is lacking that will make computers more enjoyable for her to use. She wasn't entirely sure, she knew she had some though. I brought up the concept of complete transparency of information. Why should I care a document was typed in Windows, DOS, Mac, Linux, OS/2, or whatever else? Same with the program or the version of the program.
