hehe, I explained call/cc to spoony today — on paper — while we snuggled together.

Actually, I had forgotten how it worked until we checked my example against Wikipedia.

So, last night spoony woke me up because someone was knocking on the front door.

I got up, and sure enough there was someone there. I forget his name, but he lives in the other half of the duplex with
Jason (the landlord’s brother).
He said: “Jason’s unconscious! I need to call 911! do you have a phone?”
I gave him spoony’s phone, since mine was near dead.

While he’s on the phone with the 911 emergency operators, Jason stumbles out, saying “I’m okay. Are you calling 911? here, gimme”
and Jason proceeds to tell the 911 he’s fine.

The only other part I heard was something about him accidentally taking epinephrine.

Strange night. (Actually, it was 3 AM or so)

It seems the server I keep at my parent’s house, odin, is having disk corruption. I shut it down yesterday, and sometime today or tomorrow I should attempt data rescue. I don’t think anything would be lost even if the disk is totally trashed, but it’s the principal of the thing…

This effects the cosine sine server, since it ran on odin.

Alright, after much deliberation, I have decided that I don’t want to write my own blog engine right now.

So, for the time being I will use wordpress. Even if it is slow.

Spoony and I played paintball with Yetr2, his cousin alex, and spoony’s friend
Deege. I suspect I will be sore tomorrow.
