Okay, not bodily pain -- Marla gets that these days, with her recent surgery to remove a cyst from her wrist. I won't even begin to mention the bad puns that Richard floated around this...
Last week ended in frustration and annoyance. Documentation and design information. Good things. Cleverness, bad. Remember these two points, programmers, and I won't have to drive up to your house at 3:00am and break your kneecaps with my orange dead-blow hammer.
We had our second permanent halloween committee (PHC) meeting on Saturday. Though scheduled for an hour, everyone was so fired up we ran for two hours. Then an order out for pizza and wrapping up with a viewing of Jacob's Ladder. Great movie. Many of the same themes that were used in the Sixth Sense, though differently presented (and from ten years earlier).
The plot and planning TWiki is up, too, at least mirrored on my server for now. And we have a good half of the managers locked down, or at least identified! Good times. If we get half of the effect I'm hoping for, this will be a good trail.
I only have two more Anthropology tests, one of which is today. Then I'll have a few weeks to study for my Tai Chi advancement, which may come in the next five week, or nine. I don't know yet.
My denial can no longer stand on the book -- I'm a week behind, and there's nothing to be done about it. Chapter 12 has me learning the inner details of transistors (I hate transistors) and working up a "clear" explanation of them. THAT is taking a long time. And then I need to talk up integrated circuits.
I just hope I stay only a week behind.
Maybe the control chapters will go faster.
Oooh, I have a new book project that I'm doing off contract, with my Dad. Its my birthday soon, so go to my Amazon.com wishlist and buy me books... it will speed my progress. I think I only have two project books on the list right now, but that is bound to grow eventually.
