Grading exams using excel, now how is this supposed to be easier than real programming? eg, how to average all but the three lowest quizes?

I should finally break down and learn pdb... this whole run, wait, wait, wait, find out the next thing broken is really getting old.

@barryjwark I actually emailed the guy, and he was pretty responsive. He even sent me a recompiled version that fixed a bug for me once!

So ready for the semester to end, but then the insane travel starts: Hamburg, SF. Staying home for xmas looked lame, now seems awesome.

I see I didn't write anything for the last two weeks. This must be what is meant by 'between the years.'

Baby got sick. Other kids got sick. Now, I got sick... And the baby is fine, now.

@cleversimon toast course: toast like bread or toast like 'to your health'? Either way, awesome.

Got the boy legos for his birthday. His idea of a good time: holed up putting plastic together. He hasn't discovered computers yet...

No cable. No analog to digital converter. Painting the baby's room.

Just split an infinitive. On purpose. Ha! Take that, grammar nazis.

I am really good at python... so why do I need to google how to check if a file exists .each. .and. .every. time... geez.

Love: http://www.morenewmath.com but.. somebody needs to teach this guy Calculus (thanks @gruber)

day three. tweet-a-day. flagging. At least I made it to three.

Looked for my name in the citations (of a new book) months ago. Wasn't there. bummed.. Found my name in the Acknowledgments today.. happy.

@sween Apocalypses: 7 & 8 clearly reversed.

@barryjwark Don't know -- you did get me to fire up Mathematica, though..

"Open source coding is like a not-so-demanding mistress." -- Titus Brown http://bit.ly/hdYM7 Matches my experience exactly..

Tween texting next to me through the whole flight. Considered explaining the 'rules'. In the end, I was just glad she wasn't talking.

@stefanvdwalt When you figure Cython out, let me know. I am still trying to figure out how to link to an external C library.

Children gathered around a box of raspberries. The baby stuffing them in his mouth fast so nobody else can have any. He learns quick.
