I just chewed a pen cap into an unrecognizable blob. Stressed much?

I finally get the difference between multimethods and function overloading.

I think I rubbed my face off.

Haven’t heard from several different parties that I was hoping to today. I’ll try to contact them tomorrow.

I’m having great fun with XML::Simple plus the WhitePages API. Tk::Table, not as much fun.

C++0x lambdas: [[args]]{code} - [] says “block” to me. It’s a block that takes args and does code. Sure it’s ugly but that’s C++

Got food, bus tickets, laundry change, and even a chunk towards rent thanks to a very helpful friend.

I think I may have hurt my knee a little during last week’s walking to work. Ah well, it’ll heal.

17 days to payday. So close yet so far.

Twitter: 2008-03-29 Sat 19:44

Money’s due for my site soon. I might just let it go for now. If I had $10 I’d rather spend it on bus & food.

Twitter: 2008-03-29 Sat 20:17

oof. Landlord just came by. 17 days is a long way off.

Helping out with late night church matters, planning my exit strategy for the zombie attack.

hurrah, a friend is going to help me out with bus and food money. 18 days to my paycheck (only if I fax my timesheet today)

Twitter: 2008-03-28 Fri 10:46

Discounting that it’s not a giant bacon cheeseburger with fries, this reconstituted chicken noodle soup isn’t bad.

I suspect the first geek book I buy come (some) payday is @lylejohnson’s FXRuby book, PDF and paper. I want it soo bad.

I don’t wanna go out there, but I must. Time to start walking.

Twitter: 2008-03-27 Thu 10:21

1 hour 50 minutes, but I wasn’t in the mood to do my fast walk. Just headed straight down Aurora and listened to the Slam audiobook.

Since so many folks aren’t there now, all I still miss from WhitePages are the bus passes and the snack wall. I really miss those.

Twitter: 2008-03-26 Wed 16:54

Now that I think of it, there’s more that I miss than bus passes and food, but you know - hungry and sore feet wins out in the near term.
