1. Windows 
- Keeping documentation updated
- OneDrive
- Desktop, Documents
- In WSL [if you have OneDrive]
    /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME/OneDrive/Documents  <-- *, writable
    /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME/OneDrive/Desktop    <-- not writable (?)
    /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents           <-- different from * (?), writable
    /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop             <-- doesn't exist?
- In WSL [if you don't]
    /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents           <-- different from * (?), writable
    /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop             <-- not writable (?)

    ls -l /mnt/c/Users/YOURUSERNAME

2. In Unix, how can you tell whether something is writable?
- See permissions: ls -l  (-l = "long form")
- Permissions: rwxrwxrwx

3. Questions on anything?
    
4. Small-group discussion model v0.1
    - Get together in groups of 4-6
    - Grab a spot where you can all comfortably
        see and hear each other (next-door labs
        are probably empty if you want to go there)
    - If Jeff joins you, roll with it
    - Start general
        Go around the circle and mention one thing
        you thought was interesting/cool/unexpected/etc.
        Don't hurry through this--let the conversation
        flow if it flows naturally after somebody
        mentions an interesting idea.
    - Start talking about the specific questions from Jeff (if any)
    - Once you've been talking for 10 minutes, if there's
        anybody who hasn't said anything, pause and ask
        what they think. Get everybody's voice (including yours!)
        into the discussion.
    - Keep going
    - Pick a reporter (different person every time)
        and 1-3 brief highlights from your discussion

5. Discussion of Krug, Chapters 1-5
    - General reactions, observations
	- How (if at all) will this change the way you think about
		websites as you use the internet?
	- How might this affect the software you write?

- Satisficing/scanning is real
- Creator's motives matter
    selling --> pretty
(E's grant)
- Categorization of information (career center, where are the sample resumes?)
- Make things easier to scan
        avoid blocks of text
- Give people fewer choices
- Who's your audience? It matters
- Some professors should read this book
-
