Thank goodness for long weekends
May. 24th, 2009 10:54 pmI'm worn out. At least I seem to be getting over the stiff back I acquired while getting the shearing done.
Started more garden seeds today. Spent time puzzling over this programming exercise, which consists of writing an RPN hex calculator in BASIC (ewww) to run on an 8-bit machine with 32K of RAM. BASIC, of course, has no unsigned integer type and all the normal operations you want to do on hex numbers cause overflows if done with BASIC's signed 16-bit integers.
Tess lost a substantial chunk of that hoof today. It looks really scary now, but she's still walking on it as if it didn't bother her, so that's good. John will be here tomorrow to do something about it.
Also went and bought groceries, made dinner, and got a little too deeply into a disagreement over the nature of foxen in furrydom. (Note to fox friends: Tivo stood up for you and insisted that you are not all empty-headed and irresponsible.)
