- We had our first draw (i.e. game) in the April Spiel (i.e. curling competition) last night. It was an extremely close and well-fought game, and we lost by inches on the last rock. The final scoreboard (I'm on Eric Phillips' team):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Phillips (HMR) 1 3 5 6 7 Tomlinson 2 4 8
Next game is Saturday at 2 AM. Be there or be asleep, most likely. (The game after that will either be at 6 AM or 8 AM... that's gonna be a rough morning.) - Bees' brains retool themselves to handle the switch from nursing to foraging at roughly middle age. Nature is awesome.
- Java has spoiled me for our C++ codebase. I hate working on our legacy service.
- I'm not likely getting Pyrlogos done for Monday. Though I might make some progress over the weekend when I'm not curling or sleeping; we'll see.
- Started a game of Robo Rally at work. We'll probably do a couple turns a day. Certainly less of a productivity-killer than Diplomacy.
