Back before the dawn of time

I am about to extend the range of this journal backward to 1997, from the current beginning of November 11, 2000, by means of some written journals that I kept during school (undergrad, of course; BMath at the University of Waterloo, which I started in 1996). This is part of a push to get more things into digital form and travel lighter, which will reduce space required, increase convenience of access, and make moving easier, if it comes to that. Books and notebooks are heavy and bulky. I'm also considering getting a Kindle (DX) (wish they were easier to find used!), and I'm getting a (used) negative scanner on Thursday (Nikon Coolscan V) so I can get rid of some of my old albums when I move them into digital form. That will also spark a return to work on my photo editing/tagging system.

We were up until about 0600 this morning, so understandably we got up quite late too. We're almost finished watching the British series Coupling, which Tim and Katt introduced to us a little while ago. It's a beautiful day, though, so I wish we'd planned to spend more of this weekend outdoors.
