Thank goodness for long weekends

I'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.)

Foxyfluffs are everything.

That means for every blond yiffmenow fox out there there should be an intelligent, well kept fox hiding in the shadows. The yiffmenow foxes are just more accustomed to being out in the spotlight.

That's more or less my argument too. And I named notable non-fluffbrain foxen to support my opinion. The answer, alas, was "I don't know any of those people, so they don't count."

*chuckles* I wonder what category I fall under myself. You might be interested in a contest I'll be announcing shortly along with a spectacular treat I've had prepared for my (albeit small) viewing audience.

As an equine, you weren't part of the fox discussion directly.

However, when the other party said he had no pre-formed opinion about horses because he only knew four and they were all very different, I listed another dozen or so, confusing the issue further. You were one of them, and I identified you as a talented musician and Equus as a skilled mechanic. ;D
