• Up late; perhaps due to our late-running party?
  • Moved more files and stuff up to the new office. I feel like I’m building a fort of file cabinets in there.
  • We walked to Tutti Frutti where we had to get 8 dollars’ worth of frozen yogurt to satisfy the demands of Emily’s Groupon. I believe I sweated out the whole of my yogurt on the walk back.
  • Watched Gran Torino from Netflix. Really great film. Who knew Clint Eastwood could do such a good grizzled old man? The “get off my lawn” line was delivered perfectly.

  • Up early; turned 28 today. Running out of 20s. Somewhat disconcerting.
  • More audio driver work. Chip vendor has informed me that they are setting up a parallel system in-house so that they may try settings tweaks at a faster rate than the usual email ping-pong allows.
  • Lunch at India Palace. They must have known it was my birthday, since they put out gulab jamun (my favorite Indian dessert).
  • Home to find several birthday cards, all of which were much appreciated. Emily presented me with a copy of Mass Effect 2 for the PS3, which I’d had my eye on since it was announced. Played through the introductory levels after my guitar lesson. Looks every bit as fun as advertised.

  • Up and off to work.
  • Work continued on the audio driver. Trying to hunt down the buffer allocation code to move a buffer into on-chip RAM but the Linux SoC audio code is made up of layers of indirection which complicate things like this.
  • Made some pasta with tofurkey sausage and mushrooms for dinner. Turned out to be surprisingly tasty.
  • Watched The Third Man from Netflix. Really good movie. The kind they just don’t make anymore.
