And I cleaned the sewing room and started repairing P's oz coat

Yesterday I finished sewing up the lining in my bag, and patched a few worn
spots in the canvas. Then I filled it back up with all my stuff! I'm bagful
again, hooray!

We went to the farmers market and got nectarines, the last of the zestar
apples, green beans, okra, red peppers, a fascinating "false hot" mutant
low-heat habanero, parsley, and zucchini. I blanched and froze the green
beans over lunch.

I made a good start on the first project for the NLP class I'm auditing
this semester. I'm a little disappointed in the TAs; from Friday's
recitation it seemed like they were working on the materials up to the
wire, but the sample command lines they have you run include setting PATH
to the location of the dataset, which of course trashes your shell's actual
PATH value and you get weird errors about not being able to find the 'java'
command. P notes that they might be using tcsh, which would be immune to
such things, but if the first recitation was "How to download and set up
Eclipse as your IDE" I don't know why they'd assume you're running tcsh
instead of bash. Anyhow I'm not on the mailing list or forums yet because
the administrivia machine of actually registering for an audit is slow and
lumbering, so hopefully someone else has covered that fix.
