I never obscured my goingware email, with the result that it now gets 30,000 messages per day!

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

I have decided to reclaim my [email protected] email by using Thunderbird to mark all 230,000 messages as Junk or Not Junk.

I found Sedgewick's Algorithms at http://www.alibris.com I have Intro to Algorithms by Cormen et al, but you could kill a man with it.

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

I'm looking for a used copy of Sedgewick Algorithms 2nd Edition (1988). It's a single volume, with the algorithms expressed in pseudocode.

Back to work today, this time for sure. I'll be able to work a full day. Still feeling a little out of it. It's been two weeks!

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

Almost done with the flu. Went back to work today but had to leave after just three hours. Will try again tomorrow.

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

I'm pretty sure I have the swine flu. In a little bit I'm going to go find a doctor. It was everything I could do to drive home from work.

@topherchris - It seems to me that tweeting while in the arms of a woman would be even less welcome than Les Papillons des Amour.

Just after midnight, the consensus was that if I kept orbital sanding my new bookshelves, the neighbords were going to call the cops.

I spent much of the day at Home Depot - two different Home Depots - and Orchard Supply Hardware. I'm getting back into woodworking.

@IsaAnne1 - I'm 45, but I still have many of my toys from when I was a little boy. A favorite is a martian with a clear green head.

@ScottCochran, Parallels works well on my MacBook Pro. I would try Parallels for Linux, but it looks like it's way out of date.

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

@ScottCochran, I think my problem is actually that the developers have all specifically focussed on server apps, and not the desktop.

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

@ScottCochran - it's an audio application, and I can't get sound to work under KVM. http://bit.ly/Q4zGC

@ScottCochran - I tried the 30-day free trial of VMware Workstation, but the install got wedged. I'd use VMware if I could get it to work.

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

@ScottCochran - No, I'm a cross-platform GUI coder, trying to run all my target platforms on a single Xeon box. It just doesn't work at all.

[Michael D Crawford @rippit]

I've been learning all about virtualization. Mainly I've learned that it seems like a much better idea than it really is.

Saint Silicon said, "Has Your Data Been Saved?" The Flash drive I keep my checkbook on just died, but I managed to recover all of my files.
