Clicked on my wikipedia link this morning, thinking "oh, I'll just read a few random pages". Then I started editing little things. Then I started going through the "architecture stubs" page, looking for things that needed to be expanded...

and then I realised I still have to get out to the market and back and ...

Wound up getting home from the UU meeting around 3AM, having drained a whole pot of coffee at the bar (I was the only one drinking it, so she just kept coming around to unload it). Worked until well past 5AM, unfortunately, one of the visiting parents [edited] decided it would be fun to sit ...

This little voice just won't shut up. It keeps asking why I'm killing myself over this project. I don't hold any significant shares. I'm not paid a CTO's salary (heck, I'm not paid a developer's salary come to that). Why am I up half the night working out sales pitches that someone else didn't feel ...

Spent the first part of the day dealing with reboot issues, then got to slog into the wonderful world of the marketing materials. Amazing just how much time I'm burning on these things. Today's task was primarily getting the single-page handout finished, which included some significant text editing, updating the web-site, and then spending a ...

As part of my "not sitting at the computer" time today, I watched a movie (The Lion in Winter). It's a darn good movie, but the central plot development, a love needlessly abandoned that warps an entire family dropped me into one of those pensive funks.

A true love is lost for nothing, which suggests ...

Rosey and friend pretty much just dropped off the luggage and then headed out to the park to let the kids run off their energy from the long day cooped up in planes and airports. I got rather a lot of work done on poster brainstorming... which wasn't actually what I was planning to do ...

Rosey has picked up her friend and the two children already, they're off to the ice cream parlour before heading back here. Oops, actually there they are at the door now... blogus interruptus strikes...

Apparently the movie last night really affected me. Night was peppered with dreams of fighting to be respected, fighting to survive, etceteras. Of the inventions I can remember, one was a monitor for store shelves that simply records when someone breaks the plane, the other is an old invention that was getting field-tested (well, used) ...

I keep thinking I'll sit down to work on PyOpenGL and having waves of ennui (can ennui form a wave? more of a sluggish oil-slicked wash than a wave, I guess...) wash away the desire. So, I watched "Always Outnumbered", which was perfect, because I've recently been getting a bad string of movies where they ...

Haven't really slept well all weekend. Today was just a write-off, didn't sleep well last night and couldn't stay up for more than an hour at a time all day. Still kinda knackered. Only work I did all day was confirming that the wrapper code for the ctypes rewrite of OpenGL can handle the common ...
