Yesterday evening
Found a bug in Nethack which doesn't seem to be on the buglist. It's not important for the game itself but I hate exiting a program to a broken tty. It doesn't seem to reset the tty proberly.

So I spend my evening listening to Swinging Bach on the tv while debugging Slash'EM/Nethack on my root account at home. Wouldn't have done that if I allready had xDSL but I'm only considering ordering it yet.

But I did manage to make a more uptodate slashem package for Debian but I would have been nice if I could have worked a little more on the packageing. (I better remember uploading it)

Todays todo
Almost half of my Debian bug are either fixed or non-issues. I should do something about it today.

And then I better do soem real (for money) work. Coding obscure fixpoint operators in scheme is harder as it seems. Scheme is a nice language, but I would have liked a little more syntaxical help with doing stuff as curried functions. But then again, doing stuff the hard for a change could be a nice experience.

Random thoughts
I wonder if it was a good idea to package sarien (don't have a url nearby). It is to much in a development state (and the developers would proberly agree) but I just thought it was nice playing all those old Sierra games one more time.

kernel-patch-int is also getting on my nerves. It's too much work splitting the free and non-free parts. I don't even have a 2.2.x kernel source to diff against after recovering from some really braindammaged partitioning.
