A mixed day

[da]

When I went to get lunch, the discounted-movie table was in the Student Life building, as they occasionally are. I'm glad I waited to buy Doctor Who Season Three- I saw it on a Boxing Day sale for $80. Today I was going to buy it for $60, and he said he had a damaged-box copy for $40. Score! (This fits my half-hearted strategy to only buy DVDs for under $10 a disk- it's kept me from buying a pile of movies in the last six months!)

Also, the sushi vendor gave me an extra piece of nigiri.

I was able to help a student with a Mac/X11 problem this morning, but otherwise I'm not very excited with work. I'm trying to use lint to report programming mistakes on the code I'm rewriting, but it gets hung up on the LabView libraries before it even gets to the code I'm responsible for. So I'm probably going to give up with automatic checks on how much I have done / have still to do, which is a shame. (I wonder if there's a lint option for "disable just enough checks to give me something to start with." I've disabled what I can, though!)

And my head has been pounding all day.

Tomorrow I'm starting an Assertive Communication Skills workshop, and I'm cautiously optimistic about that. And I'm looking forward to skiing tomorrow after work. (Hm, I wonder what the wind-chill will be? I wonder if I can locate my face-mask and goggles?)

Lint is excellent.. except on clothing.

I'll be interested in knowing what you think about the "Utopia" episode (third from last). I have a lot of background knowledge, and some foreknowledge about the end of the season, but find that one episode to be comparable to the best of the older ones.
