Palfrey's life

I've just had one of those days. One where you feel at the end that you didn't really do anything, and then you look back and realise you did a fair amount. Finished writing my presentation for GNARP this Friday, found and submitted two bugs I found today to the Debian BTS, fixed a long-standing problem in the gned parser in Omnet (really must get around to making a diff of all my fixes and submitting it) that lets me now do more compile time checking for bugs in my simulation. Re-wrote one section of the node generator code for the simulator (sorting the anchors to allow for later improved modelling, once I get the real-world data off of Niels and Gertjan). Smegged around with PyGTK a bit and did some improvements to my calendar (wrote myself a little calendar app late last week to try and keep me organised).

Latest MLP (a number are via xiombarg's recent post, but I figure there's enough non-crossover between the lists to keep most of you entertained still)

• Lord of the Breakfast Club


• "there is a lot of ground to make up for a party in which safe sex means making absolutely sure you're wife can't find out" - great guardian article


• Kuro5hin has a few suggestions on new amendments that the Americans should do - my favourite is The Right to Companionship - "Congress shall make no law limiting the individual adult's selection of companion or beneficiary of any form in any public record."


• Someone decided the "club the penguin" game didn't have enough blood (and of course everyone loves landmines)


• Another one from the same site - remember the warthog jump movies? Try doing it for yourself (sort of). Warning: horrifically addictive!


• Piled Higher and Deeper imitates my life again (something similar happened end of last week)
