Yes, here I am in the Eller computer lab, yet again. I thought I'd be done with this all by now, but apparently not!

I had a nice lunch with Dr. Ewen, and ran into Chris, and made tentative plans for this evening to do.... something? Well, I will call their house once I get back from my meeting, unless I have major changes to make. I really hope that I don't, so that I can get this stuff delivered to the library tomorrow. I'm not really expecting to be able to pick stuff up before I leave though - I expect I'll have to get my copies when I come back to sort out my crap.

What else... I guess that's it for the moment, really. once I have my thesis all finished and approved and shiny, I'm going to see if there is anyone around who has a program that I can use to PDF it. I believe that somewhere in Eller there exists a copy of Acrobat Professional which should do the trick. Ahh, and I even found which computer it is on. Awesome. This means that I can burn copies to disk for people, woo-hoo! I will send copies to people whose stuff I used (Nevis guy and Barcadares guy). This will also be good for relaying copies to anyone else who might want one, or if I want to put it online. In fact if I do this, I suspect that the department will link to it online :) So that's keen.

I am wondering if there is something I can get published out of this. I might ask Carl. Technically I could go over there right now and ask, hmmm... nah. The bees are attacking and I don't really want to do much wandering around. Otherwise I might go to the library.

Bah! I wish I'd thought to bring something else to work on or read or what have you, but I was kind of in a hurry when I left the house. Anyone out there alive have suggestions as to what I could to to kill time for an hour?

Score! Hazel got a free hammy cage in TO! :D Habitrail space station. I guess Scallywag is just a space hammy - moving from one space themed cage to another ^-^

First thing that popped up on Google for "PDF converter" was this:
http://www.go2pdf.com/product.html

There are also a lot of other free programs that will do it as well, and I think http://www.openoffice.org/ Open Office can open most formats and output to PDF.

Thanks! I think I am covered with the adobe thingy, but this will be good backup.
