Well, actually ... it's only against the rules if I am responsible for marking their work or being their supervisor. My unusual generalist position means I almost never actually do either. so, ahh ...

No. Not really.

Anyone I meet through work is off limits, since that is just unprofessional and dodgy in so many ways.

Unless she's like, really special.

Cool! And I knew you were a higher education instructor, but I guess I didn't realize you were a PhD. I want to call you Dr. ZenGum from now on.

Congrats Dr. Zen. You earned every bit of it with your hard work, dedication and Cellar postings.

That's wonderful, Zen! Some lucky students in Oz are going to have a great teacher for some time to come. Good on you!

Yay Zen, congrats!

I am extremely happy today, because my father offered to buy a new mac for me. This is huge, because the one I have now is an old G4 that I have to keep open with a fan on it so it doesn't overheat. And he's even going to kick in for CS5!

This is so awesome, I am overwhelmed. I won't have to worry any longer about Bosco taking a wrong jump and landing on CPU innards. And...I'll have an updated system and software to do my work.

My wife recently got CS5 and really likes it. What will you primarily use it for?
