Tik tik tik c’est la glace sur le toit

Yesterday I squared the other end of the navy wool and started on the brown
coating. I met with D to figure out a spec for loading and updating
personalized speech recognition contexts, and a plan for implementing it.
One of the users affected by the dying drive got in touch to figure out an
alternative for his web server, to hopefully be resolved before I go on
vacation. The first pass hasn’t quite worked, so that will be today’s job.
I made some progress on the activity for R in between things.

The shuttle vehicle experienced some mechanical difficulties, which meant
my normal ride was canceled. The weather was rapidly turning bad by the
time I checked the shuttle notifications though so P gave me a lift —
literally there was no ice on the sidewalk when I walked up the hill to
wait for him, and ten minutes later everything was icy. Got home safe, and
bundled in against the weather. We didn’t get the forecasted 6” of snow but
there was plenty of sleet to make the 2” that did arrive, stick. Some
evidence of poor life choices in the tire tracks up the hill from our house.

Dinner, crossword, gbbo, Gladstone&c.
