Survived the trip Lassen National Forest. We (robin, george and I) left Eazel around 17 and arrived at the park around 1 (ugh). It was pitchblack, so our initial plan about leaving the parking lot (a gravel pit) and camping at the head of the trail were abandoned, so we just set up camp immediately.

Next day we headed out, and we camped a Big Lake (or such) around 17. It's a really nice area, neat lake, trees and you can see the stars (haven't seen the milky way since I moved here). George and I harassed the Happy Camper family on the next peninsula by skinnydipping to get the days grime of us. This night it was bloody cold, more then we had anticipated and/or had gear for, guess the lake played heatsink plus the added elevation did the trick - but we survived.

Next day (sunday), we headed back by an alternating route, fed live frogs to snakes (had to get some amusement out of those little pests), and ended up at the parking spot, did the skinnydipping trick again (that lake had the most gross sludge at the bottom) and then began our gruelling 7 hour drive back to SF.

All in all nice way to spend the weekend, other highlights were

• "why did I take off my underpants ?" George Lebl, 2000.
• spit that made wood burn
• dry...
• boots that needs repair (guess the CA dryness finally got to them)

Back at eazel, the required-featuers milestone for Nautilus loomed, and it's been 14 hours workdays since I got back, ugh.

Yesterday the police dropped by, since the alarm went off. Apparently me puttingmy hands in my pockets made them uncomfortable, so I was "asked" to take them out again, not entirely as friendly as the ye good olde FalckSecuritas guards at DBC, handguns and sticks vs. pipe and a flashlight...

Okæh, vores nye chef er en vist nar. Han startede for nogle uger siden og har vist haft svært ved at vænne sig til den anderledes kultur samt at finde ud af hvad vi egentlig laver. Så idag (et møde i morges kl. 11, som jeg selvfølgelig ikke dukkede op til da jeg først kørte hjem kl 5) fik hele holdet en balle for ikke at lave fremskridt nok. Shane fik en balle for at tage to (to!) dages ferie i næste uge, efter at han har arbejdet 14 timer om dagen i snart tre måneder).

Så der skal til at ske noget chef-irettesættelse nå vores overhoved kommer hjem...

Og ja, han var self irriteret over at jeg ikke dukkede op (til et møde kl. 11, duh!)

Men lad os give ham en chance til...

Bixen er forresten ved at blive mere og mere formel, flere politikker og et distribueret kalendersystem.

(summary for the danish impaired : fuck off).

But it looks like the library will shape up nicely, still have a heap of things to do, before it can handle all the dependency conflicts I can imagine (as in, now it detects them, but doesn't handle them in a userfriendly way).
