Sleepy day and a quiet coffee turns in a party (How pleasant it is to see beautiful women...)

I was up very late last night pondering the question of how to make form-generation and processing that would be both straightforward and flexible enough to handle the vast majority of forms, both AJAX and POST.
Anyway, when I woke up this morning I realised my eyes were just too sore to work, so I ...!-->!-->
Coding Forms

Life is perhaps too short
To spend it coding forms
That anyone might code
Were they bored enough
The Mask of Cartoon Horror

The face of the woman
Who almost ran me down
Seemed almost a cartoon
As if she'd realised too late
That she'd run off a cliff
Was madly scrambling back
Against the flow of time
DHCP goes south on the laptop (How did that happen...)

Tuxedo.
I seem to have lost the laptop's ability to connect to the DHCP server here at home. Everything else is able to get to it, but the laptop just doesn't get through. So much for getting some more work done this evening.
I'm also getting comment spammed by some jerk here on the blog. Cursed ...!-->!-->
Unbelievably annoying when you have to reverse work (I don't want to think about how long that was...)

Hit one of those "argh" moments in the VoIP project today. We import CDR files from a backend system. I read the field names and didn't see anything that looked like "destination" (in the sense of a physical location, like a city). So, we write a little subsystem that can guess location from phone number ...
A very pleasant hike down (And I got to see Dan twice...)

Hiked down to Linux Caffe this morning. Time held steady from the test hike at 55 minutes or so. That's only 15-20 minutes more than taking the TTC, and bang-on equal if the bus doesn't work out right. I felt rather good, though I obviously need to get a backpack for the laptop if I'm ...
Forgot to clock in this afternoon (Whole day's work disappears...)

I did a bit of work on OpenGL-ctypes this morning, mostly just reintegrating the win32 changes so that the Linux build still works. I also killed a number of extension-module autogeneration problems. Doesn't actually make them work, but the modules are now valid Python (and correct, just useless until they get some extra code).
Then ...!-->!-->
Lots of OpenGL-ctypes hacking (Moving towards a reasonably operational system on Win32)
Written by

Snaking.
Sat down and forced myself to work on the OpenGL-ctypes project today (instead of enjoying the weather). The Linux port is almost there (at least on amd64 and CVS ctypes). The Win32 port is now limping along with missing pieces, rather than being totally nonfunctional.
I've made the C modules for dealing with Numpy/Numarray/Numeric arrays ...!-->!-->
First few pages on "Play" drafted (Nowhere near as much as I should have written these past two days...)

Design Theory.
I've begun work on the "Play" section of the thesis rewrite. Its a fairly large section, covering 8 or 9 distinct types of play that are important to designers. In two days I only managed to write up two pages of text, along with a lot of false starts and deletions.
Anyway, here's a sample ...!-->!-->

Tossing away
The used handkerchief
Of true love
Is not a crime
Love forgives easily
