Tuesday was an annoyance, spent on stair cases, and practically falling down them. I’ve no freaking idea who the hell needs a four story house. Wednesdays cleaning client at least has the decency of one staircase!  Spent most of that stiff as a board. Ended up being dragged through a super market again, *groan*, but at least I’m walking properly. Starboard ankle still has it’s moments, which always leaves my mothers voice ringing in my minds ears: as she always complains about having weak ankles. Me on the other hand, my body does what it’s told or I beat it until it does, period.

After a fourth day of compiling software, my laptop is finally up to date and fully equipped for development again. I just need to get the XFire plugin fixed. Either I need to revert it (again) to an ancient version, or port the modern versions to FreeBSD; and hope the developers accept the patches. It’s all because some stupid moron couldn’t look up whether some function_like_this() was part of the GNU C library, or POSIX; which is silly because those functions tend to look likthis().

On the upside, this week I’ve gotten another 80 minutes driving time after dark. Giving a cycle since January, of: 60, 40, 40, 40 minutes. For a grand total of 180 minutes, or 3 hours out of the 6 required hours. It will likely take another 2 or 3 weeks… grr. The only good thing I can really say, is that modern lisp lets me express the arithmetic as:

> (+ 1 2/3 2/3 2/3)
3
>

Which is kind of handy.

Yes, I like lisp.
