Dragon


Here's a patched-together water fountain dragon (link warning - lots of audio) from the Fortress of Solitude. It looks better from a distance, trust me. But not much better.

Busy, busy, busy. I'm working like a dog. Check that - dogs spend all day eating and sleeping, and I didn't get to do much of either today. I'm loving it, though. The busier it gets there, the more I like it. I'm finally really doing the management thing. Can't go overboard with it, though.

The family was in the pool when I got home today, so I got changed and got in too. It was really nice to relax for a few minutes before dinner. The meal was great and it's really nice to be home for the weekend.

And I'm out of stuff to write about today. I really can't give much detail about what goes on at the Giant Space Factory (link warning - strange French sounds), and there's effectively nothing else in my life right now. I need to get to the library. Don't worry, though. It'll get much better when I start riding the train every day.

Oh, there is one thing. I'm about halfway through Programming for Embedded Systems and I've started believing the really negative comment on Amazon. The book is full of completely uncommented code with obscure variable and procedure names and precious little else. I'm sticking with it for a little while longer in the hope I'll get something worthwhile out of it, but I'm not counting on much. I'll let you know, but right now I'm not recommending it to my discerning Loyal Book Club. I need to get to the library.

Okay, that's it for today. Have a great weekend. See you on Monday.

Well, sorry to hear that your first experience with buying a book from Fry's has been so negative. Oh well, we live and we learn. That article on "OOP is just baggage" was interesting; I doubt that will become a main-stream theory for a long time to come (if ever), but I'll have to give it some thought. He might be right.

Now that I realize that our posts are being monitored and used to determine our quality as readers, I am fully committed to not being sub-standard. Consider my comment posted!

I talked with #4 for a while today, and it sounds like things are going well for you guys. I'm really looking forward to at least seeing Mom and the aunts next week, and I am very excited to visit all of you at the SUL for Christmas.
