I've been digging on some of the Blue October that Elissa gave me -- hoping she'll get some some more onf of these days.

Work has been busy, but at least the pressure is a lot less than before. I've been working on some fun little framework tweaks that help the IDE out a lot.

I'm excited about some of the attention Mars has been giving the debugger. r2 is going to have some pretty cool features that make the debugger a lot easier to use.

But we're not working on just features, mind you. There's a number of very nice bug fixes as well. Hopefully we'll get a beta out sometime soon for people to play with.

Sheetrocking sucks. But it's coming along well enough. We have the livingroom ceiling and kitchen ceiling done. I'm going out there by myself tonight to work on the lower walls. I'm hoping to get a fair chunk of stuff done tonight, but we'll see. Working with 4x12' sheets alone is a bit daunting.

Pixel is getting fatter, so I put her on a diet.

I ran into two strange KVM bugs in two days. 1) The Mac constantly thought the Option key was held down, but the PCs were fine. Had to turn off all machines and manually reset the KVM. 2) Every time I switch to the Linux box, I have to unplug the mouse and re-plug it back in.

Windows security APIs are the most convoluted stack of shit I've ever seen. I'm not at all surprised that noone ever bothers with obtaining proper access rights. I wanted to use an API to see whether the logged in user has admin privs -- it was over 50 lines of C code. Good god.

It's been sunny three days in a row.

Have a great weekend! Hopefully I'll see some of you tomorrow to help with sheetrocking!
