prog | Duck Day Afternoon

Today was a Duck Day, for yesterday was a writing day, and tomorrow shall be a writing day as well. Worked on Duck for several hours, until my brain got too mushy to write a simple recursive subroutine. It's really taking shape, but there's so, so, so much to do. It's cool.

Then I showed M how to play 2-player Pikemen, and observed that I really should get some purple Icehouse pieces, since she usually picks up the yellow stash in two-player games. But what I really really should get is a half-dozen empty Icehouse stash tubes, which Looney Labs sells online. It didn't occur to me until recently why anyone would want these, but in truth, I now find dumping out my bag of 90 pyramids, and then sorting and stacking the 30 or 60 we typically need, a tiresome bit of preparation, especially now that I know there's a better way.

Washed a bunch of dishes and then wrapped up the Arcus work left over from that week. This included finding a clever way to replace an ugly kludge I jammed into place Friday afternoon. That makes me feel good. Now I am preparing an invoice. That makes me feel good, too.
