Literate programming is hard. I regard myself as an excellent writer of fact prose (fiction is harder by an order of magnitude) and as a decent programmer, but combining these two skills seems very difficult. Maybe it's the tools. I use Knuth's CWEB system to write TeWiS, and one of its problems is that it does not really encourage modular style (and I am a modular programmer!). Norman Ramsey's Noweb looks more interesting but its build-time dependencies are horrible (install Icon to install a program you need for compiling my C program... horror) and it still hasn't been ported to all Debian's architectures.

Apart from battling with CWEB and TeWiS my day has not contained any productive activity. I've been lazy, and reading up sfnet.keskustelu.ihmissuhteet (the Finnish newsgroup about human relationships), and rereading Childhood's End.

Bathroom has been usable since Friday, after I solved the "closed cold water valve" problem.

No work before Friday. University Easter is fun!
