The sky is happy. (I freely admit I may be projecting.)

Sep. 28th, 2007 @ 01:48 pm Call this year a success
In fact, this year has been quite good. There's no sparkling successes as I might hope for, but several good things and surges in sustained improvements.

I'll look back over it in more detail later, but I'm very pleased to have done:

* Some maths! I want to pick this up again, with the next worksheet, about analysis.

* Some swimming! I went regularly for a lot of the summer. I need to find an indoor pool now...

* Lots of organisation! Not everything, but I've developed lots of good habits and done lots of necessary things.

This month I've cautiously admitted to a slight tendency to go to places not cutting it too fine. I don't know if this is real, or would last, but I'm very proud :)

Sep. 28th, 2007 @ 01:40 pm Count yesterday as a success; thank you partner
I think I'm going to go out on a limb and count yesterday as a success:

* I woke up earlyish and did some coding. The game displays objects in several states (eg. door open, door closed, etc) and has actions which display/depend on them. (Not quite compiling yet...)

* I had a sandwich, for breakfast, some soup for lunch, and ravioli for dinner, just like people with a normal sleep/food schedule

* I got a regression test checked in to version control at work

* I went to the Carlton, collected some nice people, and buttonholed some friends I wanted to see, being, I hope, my usual happy personable self. Maybe it's split persona, but if half of me is happy, friendly, and gregarious, I'm not going to try to suppress it.

* I found some bridge players, and that went very well. We were dealt some good cards, and made and bid some major games and small slams. Not on the same hands, unfortunately, but I felt we bid and played to the limits of our system, and were in the right place and on top of what was going on even if we didn't get everything right.

* I came home, watched a little B5, and had a sensible early night found the worst compromise between getting code to compile completely and getting enough sleep :) But you can't have everything.
