Grandma called! She has too much yarn.
May. 31st, 2019 07:31 amYesterday I finished the first row of crochet on the current prototype. I
found a knitting needle that made a much better awl to open up the holes,
which made everything go much faster with less hand strain. Raven Tower is
picking up. The backstory is a bit like Clan of the Cave Bear in its
just-so discovery nature but with a god as protagonist, and the front story
is apparently crafted by them, with some interesting choices of what to
show, hide, explain, foreshadow, etc. I don’t usually enjoy when an author
doesn’t want you to understand what is happening, but somehow when a
character is doing it with clear narrative intent, I’m fascinated.
At work I started database optimizations for the knowledge base
visualization page. While it’s not quite working yet, I expect to shave 75%
off the load time. It does dip egregiously into the raw database objects.
Make it work, then make it good.
I shipped my crochet returns back to Herrschners. Ugh. Jokers.
P had the car on campus, and on the way home we went to geagle and got
sunflower seeds, almond butter, jam, frozen blueberries and veg (I’m trying
lima beans?), some dairy for P. Home, and I sat for a bit while P made
kofta. Dinner, trash, crossword, Flash, sleep.
