It had a thing for the orchestra practice room

Yesterday I fixed a minor pagination issue with my goodreads/clp app, and
let it run all day. Disappointing results (like, *nine* series matches out
of 500 books, and none of them the first in the series), but way better
than doing all those searches by hand.

At work I finished the first round of parser revisions with largely great
success: reduced the size of the lexicon file by 1/3 and reduced the number
of silly parse candidates by a lot. The remaining issue is that now there’s
no way for the server to tell the parser about coreferent vocabulary for
relational values like “her email address”. There is existing functionality
in SEMPRE for contexts, which would let us match “her” correctly without
the assistance of the server, but we apparently removed all that machinery
from our fork? I’m checking with a past group member to see if there’s a
non obvious reason for that, otherwise I’m gonna pull it all back in.

Lunch was better, and I ate a pile of sunflower seeds all afternoon.

After work, picked two beans in the garden, dinner, trash, crossword, bed.
Some spooky shoulder pain that seems to have faded overnight. Somebody
dropped a large metal object into a dumpster about 2am and proceeded to
make backing-up noises for twenty minutes. Not cool. Dreamt of helping my
grandmother organize multiple sets of linens. Also dreamt of trying to hide
from a grizzly bear in a scrambled version of my junior high school.
