Heck yeah!

When are you free? I'm busy at random times throughout the day, but we could get lunch or dinner.

I'm touring and then going to a class til 12:30, and then having lunch with a student... but after that, I'm free.

Cool. Turns out I'm busy most of the afternoon (2-7). Meet for dinner and discuss how the weather in Berkeley is only bad when prospective students are in town?

And if it turns out that you get sucked into dinner plans with other prospective/current students, I could probably free up a little time and get coffee.

1) set up a proxy server. Apparently this isn't too difficult to do in Opera web browser, but I haven't attempted since I can always just use my Berkeley modem connection if I'm desperate.

3) yes, though I don't remember the command. If you want to see all the options for printing, type "man lpr" on the command line. Hmmm... I actually just did man lpr and I didn't see an option listed for specifying the pages. So actually I don't know.

Hey! I totally suggested to run a proxy server before you even put up that edit. Just because you want to use a worse web browser doesn't mean my suggestion was worthless.

Yeah, but I already knew that I needed to run a proxy server before I posted, I just didn't know how to run one (and 20 minutes with google didn't help).

I'll edit again anyway though:)
