Bullets
* There's an really annoying bug with volity.net that isn't going away no matter how often I think I kill it. I am feeling really spring fevery and don't wanna fix it, but this afternoon's really the best time to do it.
* Ha ha ha I fixed it in the time between I wrote the above paragraph and now. No more blank game records.
* misuba sent the Andys and I some core web client code. We're going to look at it tonight duirng our regular biweekly meeting. The goal is to get a "Hello World" working demonstrably enough that we can check the whole thing into public Subversion. It's very important to me that this project go beta this year.
* Mailed first invoice to the new and magical client today. Mixing the advices of a random web page and taskboy3000, now that I have a plurality of clients I have stopped serially numbering my invoices and instead switched to the format TLAYYYYMMDD, where TLA is some three-letter code that reminds me which client this is. The date is the date I mailed the invoice. (Though it occurs to me now that there ought to be another digit there in case I need to mail two or more in one day. Hm.)
* Here is a talk by Vernor Vinge titled "What if the Singularity does not happen?" I listened to the MP3 version while lightly dozing on my couch below an open window last night.
* I am swinging back into a more active interest in transhumanism. I think step one is to investigate just what my feelings are. As much as I find attractive, there's a lot I find repellant, embarrassing fairly tales out of a 1988 issue of Omni. I owe myself an essay. The possible key phrase "make your own damn afterlife" came to me today, which appeals to me for personal reasons, though I'm not sure it fits perfectly.
