Mafiaboy, Master Hacker
I actually had the 'hacker' vs 'cracker' talk with my
parents today. It took a while to explain. Then I realized,
it doesn't matter: 'hacker' in the proper sense is a label
that can only be given someone by another hacker.. so if you
aren't in the community, the label is meaningless. So I say
let them keep calling crackers hackers. It doesn't affect
anything, and 'hacker' is a cooler word than 'cracker'. (and
with less racial overtones)

Joanna, my girlfriend, is working on the other side of the
country from me for four months. She leaves in under a week.

More work on entity's python stuff. The Python C API is
passably documented and easy to write with; you tend to
forget you are in C and need to take care of garbage
collection yourself. Oh well, once it's all working that'll
be an evening's chore.
Diddling on a few other little, little projects - haven't had much time for anything, since I've been spending most of my time with Joanna.
I am again of the opinion that Delphi sucks. And also that Windows is a horrible environment for people to learn how to code.
Funny thing of the day: Going over someone else's comments for a project I'm trying to ressurect, I came across this comment describing a constructor definition: "{ Set up the internal state of the object }". Wow. Tautological comments.
