• Up surprisingly early. Headed to the bus stop a full 20 minutes early, only to remember that the bus I wanted to catch was nixed in the last transit cuts. Waited an extra 20 minutes.
  • More phone calls with vendor and customer regarding audio work. Added some instrumentation that should make control line noise more visible in a scope or logic analyzer. Managed to work on some of my project backlog while waiting for test results (still pending).
  • Picked up my bike on the way home from work. Rides pretty nicely now with new chain and brake pads.
  • Emily made a great stir-fry dinner then we took a long bike ride around town. We stopped by the rotting corpse of the Eastside Borders where Emily spotted more than her fair share of zombie- and monster-related books (including Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters!). Picked those up at a steep discount, then ran over to Oh Yeah! ice cream for a quick dessert.

  • Up early, hopped on a 61 to make a quick detour at Pitt.
  • Tried once again to get information about the Order of the Engineer ceremony. Was given a name but the person in question was conveniently not in the office at the time. Sent an email, no response yet.
  • Made little progress with the audio driver. I’m getting the feeling that I am too reluctant to ignore documentation when it doesn’t match reality. Tomorrow my plan is to print out said documentation then proceed to burn it and ignore it.
  • Dinner at Elbow Room in Shadyside with the Foodburgh Meetup. Had a pretty good turkey burger with onions soaked in hefeweizen along with some sweet potato fries and washed it all down with Flying Dog Garde Dog.
  • Walked with Emily over to Oh Yeah! for some ice cream, then headed home.
