Dreamt you could move between Olin dorm rooms through the ceiling

Yesterday I got the nlg prototype working, which required forking the JSON
reference implementation to hack in support for xml attributes. Then I got
the full system installed into our java server with all the appropriate
hookups in the python agent. I wrote a quick api in python to ease sentence
declarations so they don’t take up much space and are approximately
human-readable. Then I found a real live bug in simplenlg, because their
xml realiser flubs perfect passive (“haves” and “haved” are not words)
while the java realiser gets them right.

After work I did a turn through the garden. Wednesday night’s storm took
down a big branch of the tromboncino vine, the one that had the
probably-overlarge squash hanging from it. Cleaned that up, and rescued the
squash, which is huge and had wrapped itself into more of a sousaphone than
a trombone shape, hilarious. Then I picked a pile of beans.

We went to open studio, where I attempted to throw small cups off the hump.
No luck, four tries into the reclaim. I gave up and made a fairly nice bowl
out of the remnants.

Snack, crossword (nice trick!), and sleep.

I, too, enjoyed the trick in that crossword.
