Savitzky" To: wolff CC: steve@central.starport.com Subject: I will not be in on Monday I will be taking one day of family/bereavement leave Monday, January 18. Probably today, by the time you read this. My wife's mother had a major stroke early Friday morning; she is on life support and has shown no noticable improvement over the weekend; the only reason she is still semi-alive is that her chart with the "do not resussitate" order was at a different hospital from the one she was taken to. If she makes it through tonight, we will be taking her off life support in the morning. The following things need to be done: o make sure that my plane tickets will show up sometime during the week. o I'll be needing a limo to and from SFO. I'll have to get picked up at my house at least 3 hours before flight time. o We need the PIA server running on RWAN, and we have to make sure that Nagao can reach it. I think Apache will need some configuration work; it was dying with a "cannot get host name" error Friday. o We need to consult with Kanoh and Nagao about my schedule, and decide whether I should move from the Shin-Yokohama Prince to the Shinegawa. Probably a good idea, though I'm pretty sure Peter's going to be in Shin-Yokohama. I'd like to at least say hello to Imai-san, and there may be other people I ought to talk to. o I'm afraid I haven't spent nearly enough time thinking about what I'm going to talk about when I get to Japan. I'll take suggestions; my mind is somewhat fried at the moment. I should be back on Tuesday, though of course things are still rather unpredictable at this point. [I'm hoping this makes it out some time tonight; right now my ISP appears to be hosed. They pick up the phone, but I can't even ping.] ==steve -- / Steve Savitzky \ 1997 Pegasus Award winner: best science song--+ \ / \ http://www.starport.com/people/steve/ V \ \ hacker/songwriter: \ http://www.starport.com/people/steve/Doc/Songs/ \_ Kids' page: MOVED ---> http://www.starport.com/places/forKids/ ______/
