Writer's Block: Orlando lives again!

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Depends on whether I could keep Bill Gates's income for that month.

If not, it becomes a much harder question. Possibly G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown, or maybe Charles Babbage. In both cases, it would be to learn how their mind works. Or Casanova; same reason. Maybe some of their particular genius would stick with me.

( raw notes )

A productive day at work, getting a small but necessary utility program hacked out in Perl. A colorful day as well; I wore one of the lavender shirts Colleen and Marty found for me (and shortened the sleeves of). Our office manager complimented me on it; nobody else seemed to notice. (I was more than half expecting my immediate boss to tease me about it.)

Some good office cleaning with Eileen, though it also involved abandoning N in mid-IM-conversation, which was very wrong of me. Bears are often thoughtless and clumsy. But I pared down the bill pile, and removed the "mezzanine shelf" altogether. And sorted the medical receipts.

A good set of links today; I think the most significant is the NY Times article "Nuclear Energy Loses Cost Advantage" (compared to solar -- that's huge).
