a good week + end: feature complete on my project at work, saw frances for 3 whole days, including hiking a dozen k of the bruce trail, finally finishing the inconceivably long final fantasy 6 (with a 21 minute super-NES-straining epilogue) and completing to my own satisfaction "wagon", my new job distribution framework (complete with autoconf/automake, disparaging articles here notwithstanding). I even got my taco bell and bubble tea fixes, and paid rent. now all I need is tuition

otherwise having a nice quiet period in a busy summer. saw my adorable, utterly bewildered niece explaining to me several things which all came out as the word bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!. I think it had to do with my not being her mom. I gave the parents some sun electric to quiet the baby when she's all freaked out, and apparantly this is indeed working well, such that they've asked for a whole whack of similar music (I'm thinking like patashnik, 7614, the shutov assembly dreamfish 1 and 2, etc). new parents of advogato take note: what works for tweaking ravers on acid works remarkably well for screaming infants (and exhausted parents)
