job
The new job is good so far. Really cool technology, interesting problems to solve, good people, still small enough to be fun.
We converted Heather's cot into a bed today. She's currently asleep on the floor of her room. Of course.
Excellent application of MD5-breaking technology.
Further to my earlier desultory comments on zombies, a contrary view. Lanier's main point is, I think, originally due to Hilary Putnam, though quite possibly Jaron Lanier thought of it independently.
I've always had a soft spot for Knuth's "literate programming", but it seems that I'm in a tiny minority. I'm pleased to find that the practice of LP is not entirely dead; for instance, there's a little community of people doing it, apparently for fun, in a wiki at literateprograms.org. But I think the right way to bring wikis and LP together is to make each section be its own page. Perhaps (though I rather doubt it) worthwhile literate programs could then be created in the same sort of informal ways as wikis are. And wrecked in the same sort of informal ways, too.
