shaver

Today began uncharacteristically early, as Madhava and Alasdair and I were to start helping Christina and Hilary load Christina’s belongings into a van at 6:00 this morning. I think I hefted my first box at around 6:20, and I was the first one there, but we still managed to get everything in by shortly before 8:00. Almost everything, I suppose: Christina still has a trunkload of stuff for her father to shuttle around, but I think we did a fine job fitting that much stuff in one passenger van. I didn’t think we were going to make it, myself.

After a very light breakfast at Harbord Bakery, during which we did not purchase any of the yummy-looking hallah, Madhava and I headed to the office. He tidied up his trip photos and then loaded them onto bitchcake, while I continued to be frustrated by an inability to beat sense into the connection-sharing and management code. Andrei joined us for lunch, only a few hours late, and after we returned from nummy Salad Thai food I had a bit of a breakthrough. Two hours of chasing lustre_peers and lustre_handles and uuid_ts through the internals of our request processing, I had recovery calling the right callbacks with the client and server on the same system. Now I can get on to doing Wednesday’s work.

I need to go home and take a nap, perhaps tidy a little more as well, so that I can be very careful about the rest of the work that I am feeling hopelessly behind on. Or maybe I’ll just have a nice dinner with my lovely wife and play Scrabble on the porch, instead. We’ll see.

I wish I had a joke about ice.
