Today was a slow day at work, so I started working on a
couple of single frame comic strips, using the Windows
paint tool. Slowly, Vinnie the Vulture, and his trusty pet,
Dun, a TCP packet, emerged from the chaos, and set
out on the first of their adventures.
All of the strips are available on the embryonic Vinnie the Vulture
page. Just pretend to laugh... the term "comic" is
used loosely here, and most of the comic aspects
consist of obscure inside jokes, and bad rhyming
schemes. Fortunately, the quality of the art makes up
for all of that.
Apart from this, I spent the day hunting down bugs, and
trying to triage a departing coworker's bug queue into
something slightly more manageable. Nothing very
exciting, however I did have a nice Indian dinner with my
friends Greg and Tague.
In hacking news, the speech recognition component of
my car project is almost ready for installation. Most of
the Python glue code to interface Sphinx with the LCD server
and MP3
player applications is done, so I'm getting excited
about the project again. What I really need to be doing
is fixing bugs in the current installation (and there are
many), but adding new features is much more fun!
