Bullets

[afuna]

• I am falling behind on a lot of correspondence; I need to set aside a day to respond to comments and bugmail and email


• OTOH, my work inbox is completely empty, whoo!


• watched the first lecture for intro_to_cs. The segment where he was generating syntax errors reminds me of the first day in CS 101 where our take home group assignment was to take a simple Java program, and find as many ways as we could to make the compiler complain
  
  ... that was awesome fun


• Also, the blackboards in that video are really, really, nifty


• Learning about Spring MVC for work. Slightly less fun, but I shall sort it out. (I may soon treat myself to learning jQuery from the very basics, which I also need to study, to break up the meh of enterprise Java)


• Reworked three patches, uploaded one new one, have one last one almost ready (just need Pau to comment on one bit)


• Tomorrow shall be a reviewing day, I think. I meant to make it part of today, but it's getting late


• Ran out of my current yarn stripe; switched back to white for my pouch bag. I am on the final stretch, I think!


• Need to make time to go to the one yarn shop I've found that sells non-acrylic yarn. I have found some acrylic yarns that are easier on my fingers, but I do miss the feeling of cotton (and I may get something else -- not sure what, but I want to treat myself to trying out a texture I have not tried before)


• Coding is patterns; knitting is patterns. They play around in the same area of my brain :-)


• I thought the whitepages were my connection's fault, but no they aren't? I guess that makes sense
