Mon Oct 10 08:01:20 EDT 2016 Slept from around eleven to seven without waking. Sunny today. High of sixty-one. I forgot to watch the debates last night. Goals: Work: - Work on POSIX shell notes A bit. I'm not feeling especially motivated today. Fifteen minute walk at lunch. Very pleasant. Saw a small woodpecker, a dragonfly, a seagull, and a blue jay. A couple of days ago, only a few of the trees had started to change. We got maybe our first real frost last night.

No doubt we can find a good 16x16 bitmap font too. - Go to bed early? https://gist.github.com/hellerbarde/2843375 Latency numbers every programmer should know (multiplied by a billion) http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/HermanTulleken/20161005/282629/Algorithms_for_making_more_interesting_mazes.php Neat.
