Man, after 4 days of barely leaving the house so that I can finish a paper for the important-sounding Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2009, it felt amazing to actually bike over to the climbing gym and get up on the wall again! Also you wouldn't think it matters but something helped me be notably more agile and swift, and I'm pretty sure it was losing 3-4 lbs. during the past week.
Not saying I don't suck balls, of course. But my ol' pal Sarah said that they are going to Jack's Canyon (it has a website?) again this weekend which gives me a chance to get some lead-climb training from her and Josh and I need all the help I can get. I can only do outdoors climbing when someone else is (due to acute lack of the car) so I'm pretty excited.
I've set my mind on the first 'computer-is-your-friend' program I want to work on. Here's what's on the whiteboard (The 'Penis Sizes' histogram had to be erased, whiteboard fans. Sorry!):
Not going to get into it much but in a nutshell: Wouldn't it be nice if your desktop had icons for only things you're working on right now, instead of either nothing but a pretty background (the minimalist approach) or everything ever created (the not-so-minimalist approach). There's a little bit more into it, but if you think that'd be nice, you'll like this.
