Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

... to the lovely and talented birthday triplets dimakoi, joecoustic, and brunnhilde!!!! Have a great one!!

A pretty good day

Let's see...

I woke up at about 7:30 after a full 8 hours of sleep, thanks to cyclobenzaprine and aspirin. The neck and shoulder pain from yesterday were mostly gone, and my left eye wasn't glued shut. Good start.

My latest patent disclosure was accepted; now I just have to figure out how to describe it to a lawyer well enough to get it written up. One of my coinventers -- the one with the degree in EE -- will have to implement it, though I might be able to cobble together a simulation.

Had a good walk; took in the hill in both directions, but rather slower than I could have if I were in better shape. Took 1:15 or so.

Joined in a fascinating conversation in the lunchroom. It takes about a petabyte to record all the information you encounter over your entire life: audio, video, and text. How long before that fits on a cell phone?

Got a happy phone call from the flower_cat and a brief, delightful email from cflute that brightened the afternoon even further.

Tracked down the code I'm going to use as a base for one of the projects I'm starting to work on.

Came home a little early to spend some time with the chaoswolf; took her to the train station at 7:00. She'll be getting on her train to Seattle (and points North) in a little while.

It'll feel odd without the Wolfling around the house.
