• Up early but it didn’t matter since my bus had a flat. Eventually made it to work.
  • Got all of my projects either wrapped up or in a good state to pass on. Justin seemed excited about taking over maintenance of the audio driver.
  • Lunch at India Palace. Delighted to find gulab jamuns set out for dessert.
  • Home then off to guitar lesson. Learned some 12-bar blues riffs. Let the instructor know that I’ll be out of town next week.

  • 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.
