Entry #298, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 21 years old.)

well, since mom threw out the apple cd/dvd driver on her imac, it no longer reads cd's. this is especially grave, since this means they cannot play zumbinis. or zoombinis. or whatever it is. so now that i have returned, i can save the day. since i have no idea where the original macos cd is that came with the machine, i have decided to download the upgrade to macos 8.6 in the hopes that as part of the upgrade, it will reinstall the cd driver.

my parents were super-generous and gave me volumes 1-3 of Knuth's Art of Computer Programming for my gradutation. They also mentioned something about getting me the remaining volumes when they come out. neato. so i started reading the first volume. good stuff. in addition to those 3 volumes, i want to finish Bach's design of the unix os, and various other papers i brought home.
