Got up early and finished off a patch to add os.poll(). In the evening, did some work on my Python patch queue. My CD player is suddenly mysteriously stopping while playing; I suspect it's about to die.

You know, now that I'm watching them again, the early Peter Davison episodes of Doctor Who are really quite mediocre. While I still like Davison's breathless portrayal (and can behave that way myself when I've had enough caffeine), the stories aren't very interesting, "Four to Doomsday" being impressively bad, while "Kinda" and "The Visitation" are merely dull.
