robinturner: Giving a tutorial, c. 2000 (tutorial)
On the plus side, we have no meetings today, so we can work at home.

On the minus side, the two things I was planning on doing today aren't happening. First, I was going to jazz up my vocabulary analyser with some pie charts, but I can't do it without the Perl GD module. The sysadmin mailed me to say he'd install it, but it's not there yet. The seconf thing I was going to do was move our department website to a different account, but I can't get the password.

Oh dear, it looks like I'll have to do some real work.
