Occupy the Internet
Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools and listened to another hour of "The Diamond Age" on my commute down to work. I've been dusting off old brain cells on how to do some advanced code revision control things in Perforce.
Jeff Miller summarizes (almost perfectly) the feelings I've had about the Occupy Movement.
It felt like an unproductive day, even if it really wasn't. Spent a lot of time in conference calls and studying some changes that need to be made for our next generation GPU. Looking forward to heading home and seeing the folks, my wife, and the kids.
Smooth drive home, listening to another hour of "The Diamond Age" along the way. I'm sure this section will make sense soon but it seemed disconnected from the rest of the story. When I got home the rest of the family was still eating dinner, takeout from China Palace.
Reading about MariaDB, the more fully open source version of MySQL.
Once again helped Claire with her Algebra II homework. And once again Wolfram Alpha continues to amaze me by solving problems that take us 5-10 minutes to do by hand in just a second or two with graphs, solutions, explanations, etc.
