I'm up in South Bend, and yes, my cell phone works. It's not in digital mode, though (bummer!). I found that yet another company has been sucked into the Verizon Wireless void -- Air Touch Paging. So I tried to send myself a test text message from their web page, but it didn't work. Perhaps it will when I return to digital areas on Monday...

In other news, I had a good chat with Loomsdale yesterday (sorry, that's Dr. Loomsdale to you, Gentle Reader). We haven't really connected recently, especially with this whole wedding thing of mine that happened shortly ago. T'was good to catch up. Got a few more details on the whole IU vs. ND thing (sorry, not at liberty to put them in my journal, so get off my back already, ok?!?!) -- we'll see how that plays out.

This led to more chats with Jeremiah, Rich, Dog, and Brian, which led to nothing productive getting done yesterday. Dog and I finally gave up, got some food at Wendy's, and went to see Scary Movie. If you accept it as a totally stoopid movie, it's actually quite amusing.

I introduced Dog to some of the wonders of PHP and MySQL last night, too.

Stayed at Ed and Suzanne's last night. Saw them this morning and we chatted for a while. Came in to work and did various LAM/MPI things:

• squashed a bug relating to -laio not propogating down to hcc and hf77 properly when compiling with ROMIO

• squished another w.r.t. profiling and using both MPI_Init and PMPI_Init in the same program

• played with CVSweb and ViewCVS, mainly to see if it would be worthwhile to put the LAM/MPI CVS repository out on the web for read-only access (a thought that has been nagging me for a while, especially since 6.3.3 has taken so long to release!). Decided that I liked ViewCVS better than CVSweb. I mailed the LAM/MPI mailing list to see if anyone would be interested.

• in the middle of fixing some warnings from the Portland Group C compiler

• played some more with the doctext package from the MPICH group to fix some bugs w.r.t. the nroff-generating code. I'm iterating with Bill Gropp about this -- it affects the man pages that get generated for LAM/MPI.
  

But now, on to more interesting things! Minime calls. Had some interesting minime thoughts yesterday while driving up for Looieville. We'll put those in a separate journal entry.
