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.

colorwheel because it would have involved a significant amount of walking, and it was Just Too Cold. Hoping to make up for this week sometime.At work, styled up one project's Web interface and took a screen shot that Boss will present at a department-wide Monday meeting. Absurdly nervous, just because it contains a real researcher's name and a tiny bit of numeric data (out of context and therefore meaningless). Like I'm afraid he'll stand up and thunder "That is not my data! This is an outrage!! The Royal Society shall hear of this!" I dunno, I'm a spaz.
After work, Annie's Mac (it's so cold that I'm actually cooking and eating the food in my kitchen), Stargate SG-1 with
cthulhia. Pomegranate eaten. Decided to be insane and attend jhango's hastily scheduled 2^30 party, celebrating that many seconds having passed since the Unix clock started, some 34 years ago. The precise moment wouldn't arrive until early Saturday, so she declared a Friday all-night thing. Shmike and I were the only ones to stay through the whole event, which is fine, since he is one of the few people in this group who is as good or better at twitchy video games than me, and video games were the predominant activity, so. Cthulhia there at the start (and we got in a few games of David Crane's "Freeway" via jhango's copy of the PS2 Activision collection), and the Freaks arrived the next morning, in time to see the new bit come in. We watched its arrival through a script that displayed the current time as one big, green, OCR-font binary number, and that explains that strange photograph, for those who were asking.Saturday, after getting home, was: shower, work on Volity a bit, watch TV, sleep.
Sunday was a busy day. Mostly in Volity-land. Packaged up the latest Frivolity release and put it on SourceForge. Created a new website for Volity, which looks very nice. Wrote a long email explaining Volity programming concepts to the client developer, who so far is proving his value more as an asker of challenging questions (which force me to think and write answers that will surely show up in the book) than anything else, and I surely can't complain.
Next weekend is The Hunt!! I must really set aside some time before then to go over the warm-up puzzles. I have a feeling that no matter what I do I'll feel overwhelmed once the time actually arrives.
