Last class

Thursday: Slept in a bit. Called the heating repair people and left a message, since the furnace wasn't working properly again last night. (I soldered together the suspect leads, and it worked temporarily, but then failed again. Probably a bad solder joint on the circuit board.) Downstairs and put on hot water. Gus treatments. Shower. Breakfast (coffee, cereal). Down basement, and morning practices. The heater guys called, and said they were on their way over. They showed up pretty quickly. Funny guy, looking around at my stuff, and talking about going bowling, how is boss was pulling his leg and so on. The replacement part had a mismatched connector given the existing wiring rig, which caused some consternation. The boss had to come over, and they eventually cut the wires and spliced it in with twist ons. Drums and guitar. Headed out.

In the office today, looking at a particular performance problem. Found a nice way to first profile with system trace, and then use time slice view on an individual thread to figure out what was going on. Made a bunch of simple edits in a collection of files... but I may move them to a different branch. Two bean tacos, and some lunch from MB. Figured out its Spotlight that is holding open files we are trying to delete (and causing a -47 error). Headed out at 7:45.

Third Life Studio. Last class. Just Gbr showed up. Nice to work with her. Afterwards, ordered some Chinese food. Back home, MB was already there. I ate, listening to what's going on for her at work. She read me some from her current book (suppressing laughter at a glee club performance). Made the bed (two odd spots had appeared on the sheets... maybe from Gus?). Down basement and more guitar. Email. Now to complete the day.
