I can haz sleep plz?

Finally got another couple hours or so of sleep, after waking up at 3:30 and going back to bed, still not terribly sleepy, at 5:00. Grr.

My Patent Review Committee presentation yesterday seemed to go well, after I abandoned the idea of using OpenOffice on a Mac laptop and just fired up the exported PDF. MacOS is, unfortunately, even farther outside my area of competence than electronics. Still, it was fun; every once in a while it's good to push the boundaries and do something slightly weird, slightly scary, and totally unexpected.

I appear to have lost a pound since yesterday morning, in spite of having a little bread and cheeze, and a slice of pizza. I did try to keep the bread to a minimum this time.

Productive?

Did a little project planning at work today, and had lunch with a coworker who wanted to know about online communities and how they get used by filkers. Yes, really -- has to do with niche markets and what's going on in communities of musicians and fans.

The planning was interesting, too, but I can't talk about it yet. Probably not until next year at the earliest. But both projects will be very cool. And will give good demo, so I'll back in that scene, too.

Around lunchtime, while waiting for M to get out of her previous meeting, I did a little editing on steve.savitzky.net and set up the working directory and a very rough cut at the web page for a "super-single" of Quiet Victories.

It's still hot out. Upper 90's when I went out for a short walk after lunch.

Note to self

I have to keep reminding myself that if I'm not hungry, I'm probably not losing weight, either.
