Slow Friday

Booster shot today. Worried it might screw up my next day. Round 2 took me out for a bit. We’ll see.

Not a lot of code today, but lots of planning work and meetings. Slowly converging on infrastructure and nailing a bunch of details. Whee.

I’m going to say that I won’t bore you with the details, mostly because I can’t be bothered to write them out. But honestly, the details were fun, and you’re missing out. Oh well.

Oh yeah, I submitted a deck to Gulleggið this evening. That might be worth something.

Mad Abel (and Hatters)

Was talking to Tomasino about board games last night, and was reminded of a card game I made up 16 years ago, Mad Abel. It is a silly game that pains the brain to play, but it’s fun. Anyway, some wonderful people still have a copy of it online, which is good because I’ve long since lost the LaTeX sources.

This stroll down memory lane reminded me of my old yaxic.org domain, which was mostly just a portal for a bunch of people and projects. On a whim, I bought the domain back. Cost slightly more than a beer, and it’s not like I’m getting out much these days. Not sure what to do with it this time though. I found my old splash page (also since 2006!) and set it up for now. Nostalgia, yay.

On a side-note, this all reminded me of a TV series from that era, ReGenesis, which I recall being a pretty solid take on biotech, disease risk, climate change, and so on – a nice thing in which scientists are the heroes. Will probably try to rewatch it sometime soon.
