here's hoping the committee signs off on my dissertation before I have to start the new job ...
Guess I wasn't quite over that jetlag after all.
Back from Budapest. Literally over 24 straight hours of travel. 50+ hours to get there and back, for about 86 hours in the city.

Budapestin' it up. Dollars are worth nothing. I should dig up that old five euro bill from last time, it's worth like a million dollars now.

Is this really the simplest iteration API they could come up with? I think the answer to that question is no.
Learning more about the miracle of compound interest.
Watching Dan Ingalls' Lively demo recorded at a Google Tech Talk. Neat stuff.
Rode down to Balboa Peninsula. The wind was very high and the waves were awesome. Now I'm reading about how to save for retirement.

Stayed up until 2:00 last night despite having flown across 3 time zones because Molly's flight got rerouted to LAX. Grr, stupid airplanes!
Emergency plumbing problem! The repairman came and did everything he could, but it's still broken. He's coming back tomorrow with backup.
Finished traveling, I'm back in California now. I'm also going from high-level music combinators to MIDI files now. Sweet!
