The weekend...

It went by quickly… that is an indication that I had fun, right? Yet, I spent over 2/3 of my time awake working… is that ironic? Considering that I don’t quite understand the meaning of irony, I don’t really know. I think I’ve made progress – my daemon averages around 3% CPU (target is 0) and doesn’t seem to leak memory profusely. Unfortunately, it is pretty darn buggy. ;P

A beautiful day...

to work? I spent most of the day inside, besides the time it took to walk to work, walk to lunch, eat lunch, and walk home. ;P I would have prefferred to have the day off, but in actuality, it was too warm for me. I have had my shirt off since I left the air-conditioned office. My project is getting closer, but I still have quite a bit of work ahead of me.

Dear Diary,

I have been busy. My project at work drags on. It is a “thorn in my side,” as my dad would say. I know that only I can remove this thorn, though. So I am trying to remain chipper. I had my first swimming lesson yesterday and it was erally fun. We just did gliding and a little kicking but I had a really good time. I am looking forward to tomorrow’s lesson.

arggggh!

I hope I finish this project soon, because otherwise I’m going to have to obtain some ICBMs and take up another profession. ;P

email

So fascinating. I’ve just spent about an hour or two going over old email, from as far back as 1998. I discovered that some email had accidentally been deleted and was quite concerned until I was able to restore it from a backup tape. Which reminds me that I need to get a real tape drive for the server, I would have been lost without it. And I’d be lost without my buddy Susie, who I talk to often (we just made a bet on who has a bigger waist – I’m going to win, which means I lose and have to buy dinner).

mommy and daddy

i had a great visit with them last night and i was able to tell them that Eriko is coming to visit! i miss them very much. Eriko also told me that her mother had bought some gifts for the family. i’m excited. =)
