Frustrated with what look to be weakref crashes in the ping scanner, took a few moments to figure out how to get a ZCatalog-based search installed on the blog here. Built the ZCatalog, added the lexicon and a full-text index, then added in the blog itself... no content indexing occurs... there's no "Coreblog Entry" option ...

Next step is to hook up the simple SVG diagraming code to generate a real-time graph of current status so I can be sure what I'm seeing really is what it appears to be. I've got the core part of the operations "graph" (sort of a cross between a state diagram and a flow chart) ...

Old design notes, a few dozen sketches, that kind of thing. Oh well, soon (maybe even tomorrow night!) I will have a digital camera and can have fun using that for scanning-like operations :) . I'm actually kind of thinking of doing a rogues gallery for the blog here, portraits of the various people being ...

Feeling the need to recharge my enthusiasm for knowledge.

Listened to the next in the philosophy lecture series (I stopped for quite a while there), was good to think at a more abstract level for an hour or so. Was discussing the neo-Aristotelians at Oxford in the Quatrocento (a.k.a. The Rennaissance). Apparently "The Elegant Universe" ...

So, I've been figuratively staving in my skull with tracking down the weird hanging cases that have been showing up in the ping scanning mechanism. For the most part, I've been storing the state in either explicitly passed arguments, or using nested scopes.
