New news:
I got a three button mouse for my A/UX box. Yay.
The Peter principle is again in effect. I am now the head of the Unix
consulting group at Rice. I am supervising people.
Responsibilities are being heaped upon me, to see how much work it'll
take to break me. Of course, compared to Unified, this is cake.
Looks like my SIPB guest account is going the way of the Dodo, so
these exciting (color me sarcastic) plans are soon only going to be
available on void.rice.edu, and then only when it's up and running
Unix. I'll miss discuss here.
Projects:
Slowly paying off my debt to MIT. Will I be class of 89, or something
on the other side of 2000? Inquiring minds want to know (I want to
know). Check's in the mail. Just type "make".
Finish the X version of titan. Yes, I'm still working on it.
Learn some languages. Spanish, Russian, Japanese. Maybe a continental
language (other than German). Taking Japanese in the fall.
Beat 19 diabolical computer players at expert skill level in a small
dense random universe in Spaceward Ho! (version 3.0.1). Okay, so this
isn't all that likely.
Get olc/olta and Zephyr built and up on the local Sun shop (this time
with official backing), and slay the current problem tracking system
(it runs on CMS, ugh!) residing on the ES/9000. Gotta love bureacracy.
This project is stall pending the investigation of "alternative"
systems that cost big money. C'est la vie.
The local Kerberos war is heating up. V4 or Sandia, Sandia or V4? Keep
in mind we're talking about a production system that needs to work for
three thousand or so users. Sandia is now running, but for how long?
Thesis? What thesis?
Lifetime Goal:
"The advancement of science and scientific knowledge."
Don't ask me. It wasn't my idea.

higgy (James Higginbotham):
My e-maill address in Oxford will be
higgy@oxford.ac.uk
E-mail to me at athena should be forwarded. But since the Oxford
address is now operative you may just as well send mail there.
PRO(i) be excellent to each other(i).
