A Long Day

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! A brisk autumn one at that! I dropped the girls off at their schools and listened to more of "The Diamond Age" on my commute down to Boxborough. 9:11am

Sometimes business have to fail before later innovations can be achieved. Look at the WSJ opinion of Steve Jobs back in 1993. 10:11am

Went with a good friend from AMD for some lunch at New London pizza. Gorgeous autumn weather out there today. 1:09pm

I've been wrestling with environment variables, tool versions, scripts, etc. as I get my "re-born" laptop back to a usable state. Finally got the environment installed, built, up and running again on this new drive and environment. 1:15pm

Had a coffee a few hours ago with another AMD friend. While I like QC, some days I miss the guys who I knew from the ATI/AMD days. Just about time to wrap things up and head up to Golds. 5:20pm

Had a couple of delays heading out the office door, compounded by brief heavy traffic on I-495. Nevertheless I still head up to Golds Gym listening to more of "The Diamond Age" along the way. Better a bit late than not at all. Took tonight's Muscle Mix class. When I got home Timothy was heading to bed so that he could read his novel, "The Incredible Journey". Time for a bite o' dinner. 8:08pm

The twins are watching an old Phineas and Ferb. They're playing one of my favorite parody skits Disco Miniature Golfing Queen. 8:17pm

After I got the twins to bed with their prayers, I noticed my dad had called as I was finishing up at the gym. I called him back to discuss their upcoming visit. If mom's health holds out well, they should be here next weekend. 9:17pm
