Parked, and walked out through H Sq. Got a hair-cut the local barber (running into my old friend Laura Wilson), went to the bank, got an iced coffee and a muffin, which I consumed while doing a chess puzzle on my cellphone. Walked over to Arrow St and had a very good Shaitsu session with Ursula. Finally into the office. Spent most of the day trying to figure out a very weird crash, that seemed like a compiler bug. It was the sort of thing where, if I changed the code is any sort of subtle way, the bug would vanish... So, eventually I gave up, and just changed the code a little so it worked. I hate stuff like that. Maybe I'll revisit it next week. Bn tried to help. B, MW, JC and PS all talked about hardware in the office all day. At 7:30 I went out to wait for Shawn. Then, I realized he was away for the week. Got a coffee. Cream, no sugar. The incredibly flaming guy behind the counter said "Why don't you want any sugar, is it because you're sweet enough already? Come on say it..." I said "Yeah, I don't want any sugar 'cause I'm GD sweet enough already, OK?" and then he gave me a high five. Back to the office and eventually checked my stuff in. While things were building re-watched most of the Steve Jobs keynote where he introduced the iPhone. So masterful. I do think it's going to change the world, that little thing. And, this is just the start... In 10 years we will all have easy to use touch-screen mini-computers in our pockets... and they will make the iPhone look antique and limited... There aren't any more Beatles albums being released... This is as close as we come to that sort of cultural event these days.
Drove the long way around to home. Took an exacto knife and lanced the abscess on the side of Gus' head. Lots of pus and some blood. Really gross. Rubbing alcohol and antibacterial creme. Ate some noodles. MB returned home while I was packing. A little hanging out. Now down basement.
