Andrew got this letter, umm, from the Chairman of the Inaugural Comm. of Chucky's Inauguration. They want Doc to participate in the procession. She has a choice between Master's and Doctor's garb. Should she do it? (Resounding sounds of approval.) Glen Barry had an old copy of our constitution. Doc gave him a new one. The old one was apparently rather messy. Plans were underway to do it in Scribe. len18(The newly shaved) is nominated for election. Seconded. No one opposed. There will be an election next week. Office Report: dkk was in here this morning. He noticed the stapler. A user said "Thank you" for letting him use the stapler. He was pleased. dkk says that during the day the office looks good with the lights out. MIT Computing Report: There was a power outage 10:45 Sat. morning. Athena was hit pretty bad. Themis was down until sometime today. Everything else came back by late Sat. Power was out for 1.5 hours. Phys Plant didn't let Ops know about the outage. (The Mirror did, though.) A motion was made not to discuss something in the minutes, so if you weren't here: :-P Computer Services: We have not been keeping the NFS sipb locker up to date. Dopey suggests that we eliminate it since we're not maintaining it. General agreement seems to be that we get rid of it and use the space for something else. Dopey will deal. Prince Charming says that binkley's keyboard has been gone for several days. Lou took it. Snippy White says that it wasn't that badly damaged. Perhaps Lou was angry. VOLUME!!! In the future, don't put notes on things. Send mail to the list. It's more reliable and, uh, "safer". Ronald-Ann Backup Report: Sleepy will do it after the LSC meeting. Publications Report: They're okay. Happy replenished our Iness. LaTeX supply. R/O Report: We need people to run the tours. Sleepy will recommend people for Clearinghouse chair if they're interested. IAP Report: FRAME!!! CokeComm Report: He's not here. It is. Other: Let's meet the prospectives and members of the sipb, says a tree. Everyone hates him for it. rlcarr has *three* r's in it, not two. (:-P, rich). perl 4.0 is built. Just attach perl. (birdbrain suggests trying rm -R /mit/perl/*) Prince Charming has been trying to find sipb members who aren't in gsipb. He found some. They have been added to the group. gsipb is up-to-date. There is no other other. Other Other: Snow White is a *real* scientist now. Her name is on a paper hanging on the bulletin board. opus address is still opus@athena. Snippy White is going to Switzerland next week. Sneezy says slow is reading 150 mail messages over a 300 baud modem. Fri. night, lobby 7, 10:00, for Orange Tours. Sun morning, 2am, everywhere. :-) Sun morning, Chocolate Fools day at the great big hotel outside Harvard square. Pay 10 bucks and eat lots of chocolate. There is no other other other.
