You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort
Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an
hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. -- Narrator (Fight Club)

Wow, there has been radio silence here for a while now. That is
disappointing because a lot of things have happened recently. In the
words of Inigo
Montoya: "Let me explain... No, there is too much. Let me sum
up."
- I spent a lot of time with Sara with no
'h'
- Brad came up the weekend before last for an interview. On the
evening of the 3rd he joined the Arxan crew for dinner and a showing of the
movie Confidence at the
Mehlbergs' place.
- The following evening (the 4th) there was a great deal of
drinking at the Cactus. This was special because it was the first time
that Chris was able to join us. While our crew remained in control a gentleman
at a neighboring table felt that it was acceptable to projectile vomit
on Sara, Chris, and me. Thus the evening was cut short.
- The 5th was much more low key. People filtered in and out of my
house visiting Brad. Terry and Lita joined us for dinner. Also in an
odd coincidence the unflappable alfowler was in town between nursing
jobs and joined us for dinner. After dinner there was Eiswein and
conversation.
- Also on the 5th Bayleigh Jensen (Scott and Cretia's daughter)
passed away after a long and debilitating fight with what I understand
to be some type of genetic neurological disease. She was eight years
old.
- Brad flew home the morning of the 6th. The Showalters arrived for
the funeral late that evening. We cooked potato soup and were happy to
be alive.
- On the 7th Sara and I attended a memorial service for Bayleigh
and had dinner with the Showalters, Sara, Lehmann, and Wanke.
- On the 8th I boarded a plane bound for Sea-Tac.
- On the 9th I met with Microsoft engineers. I then hopped on a
redeye flight back home after an eight hour wait in the airport. Jim
and I achieved our goal of fully traversing the airport.
- On the 10th I arrived back in Indiana, slept most of the day, and
had dinner with Sara and her paternal grandfather at the
Bistro. Her grandfather is a fascinating man who has seen a lot of
history with his own eyes.
- The 11th was of course Sara's birthday. We had Cajun food and
drinks at Eight West.
My TODO list and my reading list have both become quite long. I am going to need some tools to help with vigilance tasks and an improved system of organization RSN.

Not a lot happening. Work continues to be busy but good. I have
spent a great deal of time doing chores over the last couple of
days. The TODO list is almost managable now.
Today is Saint Patrick's Day. There was a small gathernig at E.B.'s
place. Lita and Terry prepared Stir-Fry for us as we sucked down
Guiness. Good times.
If you are reading this right now then you know that nolandda.org is more or less open for
buisness. Green is the new grey.
Today after work I helped jabbey and Kristen move into their new home. This evening I paid bills and did a few chores. I got my copy of the first season of Twin Peaks today. The show is excellent, however the boxed set omits the pilot. Why would they do that you ask? Apparently the rights to the pilot are owned by a third party and it was not included due to greedy bastards and stupid copyright law. This is very annoying to me because I am willing to pay for the pilot, but I am unable to acquire it through legal channels and I hate missing the first episode of a show this good.

We are going to have to go with the brain burn guy for a while. Remind me to post about Mr Kelsey's visit when I resume transmitting.

Thought Bucket:
Jim is a genius!
x & (M-1) == x % M
for all M of the form M = pow(2,y)
This is especially handy since you can precompute M-1 meaning that you
do a bitwise operation instead of a division operation!
