- Woke up feeling much better. Actually made it to work.
- Caught up on email. I’m on far too many mailing lists at work.
- Driver issue continues to elude me. Could be a problem of DMA interaction. That means another 75-page PDF to read tomorrow.
- Skipped the gym due to residual stomach issues, but walked half a mile to get Chinese food with my wife. I’m not sure if the math works out but I’ll take it.
- As is my custom at Alpha 3 I upgraded my desktop at home to Ubuntu Natty (and installed gnome-shell from the Gnome 3 PPA to be fair).
- Watched The Big Bang Theory with Emily while coding on a hobby project that will likely never see the light of day.

Knowing full well that writing is one of my many shortcomings while at the same time one of the skills a great programmer should posses I’ve decided to start a little exercise to make myself write at least a little every day. The inspiration for this exercise comes from Michael Meeks and his daily bullet-point summaries.
- Awakened around 5:00 AM by a loud, booming thunderstorm. While I am a big fan of thunderstorms I would appreciate it if from now on Mother Nature was more respectful of my sleep schedule.
- Bus stop wait was lovely. Humid but warm. Arrived at work, broke my fast with a stale bagel and some coffee. Plowed through email.
- Received info from a customer about a possible cause of a bug in the driver I wrote for them. This was immensely helpful in (finally) fixing this bug. Sent a patch.
- Lunch at Chinatown Inn. Delicious and speedy as always.
- Began packaging work for another customer. This looks simple, which means it probably isn’t.
- Received word that the patch mentioned earlier did not work as well on the customer’s board as mine (supposedly they are identical). This is one for tomorrow.
- Home then to the gym.
- Home again, sore, and practiced for my guitar lesson tomorrow. Still haven’t gotten over the whole “do homework only the night before it’s due” thing. At this point I feel it’s a hopeless cause.
