snow fall, shoe fall
Bleh, The snow is finally melting. Again. Maybe this time it'll be what the kids call for reals. The untimely weather cratered my weekend yard plans. On Friday I shoveled out remains of the last drifts into the driveway to melt. On Saturday I raked the matted grass & began pruning and general upkeep in the landscaping. And on Sunday, I was shoveling the new found snow back onto the lawn to clear the sidewalks & driveway. Not the end of the world, but it was highly depressing to be forced in doors - I've been waiting for weeks for some quality time in the yard.
Research has also been sorta bleh. So much tedium in between myself and what I think of as the real work. Like reconciling the fact that the Standard Template Library is less of a standard to Visual Studio than say to g++.
I finally got around to booking my particulars for the upcoming scholars conference. I have no idea why I'm going. This sort of thing is generally cool, but also generates a lot of anxiety for me. Travel, security, itineraries. And now I've found out there's a research summary I need to give. To astronauts. They've been off planet, how can I raise the bar for my presentation that high?
