Last few days have been a pleasant blur.
Let's start with Friday. Work is going nicely. I haven't reached my target hours-per-week pace but I did better than last week, and I am actually working, making Perl modules that build off of software in the company's Subversion repository. I dropped an email to the person at the company whose name is attached to these older modules, but haven't heard back yet. I guess the next step is dropping by his office and saying hi, since he's right there.
Aside: I do believe that I have grown more as a programmer, manager, designer, and overall thinker in the last 12 months than I have at any other point in my postgraduate life. Things reveal themselves a lot easier now than they once did.
After work, went to a folk concert with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
radiotelescope and cthulhia. Venue was a UU church in Watertown, and the musicians were Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen. The music was was great, and I recognized several of the pieces (especially Larsen's Irish flute solos) from Zarf's half of the office MP3 rotation, but I thought the whole show ran a little long; was very twitchy by the end.
Saturday was crazy, and very foodful. Brunched at Johnny D's withmrmorse to strategize about The Gameshelf, and then sunk many hours into hairy design work for some web applications that volity.net needs. In the middle of this classicaljunkie and I mutually lured each other out for Rossini's coffee and baked goodies. And then dinner with doctor_atomic and crew while she's in town, followed by chatting late into the night about RPGs that I find interesting even though I'll probably never actually play them.
Today my major accomplishment so far has been beating the third Ratchet & Clank game. Longest credits I ever did see. Time to get back into things now.

Love letters
Oct. 15th, 2006 01:58 pmIn the course of last night's jibber-jabber, we watched Love Letters. Hilarious, well-produced and minimalist short subject. NSFW.
Because I just happened to notice
Oct. 15th, 2006 03:26 pmI feel a little ripped off that my seventh-bit birthday will be just four days shy of the end of the Unix epoch.
I'll still take it, mind you.
