Life Update du moment
May. 4th, 2008 09:48 pmPhysio:
I got to do cardio last Friday! Yay! For the first time it feels like I'm doing *real* exercise. 5 minutes on the elliptical and 10 on the bike. I've also gone from the yellow theraband to the red one on all my exercises. I've got another month at three times a week, and still every visit I'm coming away so much improved. The physio also mentioned that she's been going easy on me because until 8 weeks past the surgery, things aren't healed up enough to do real work. Well, we just passed 8 weeks, so I think tomorrow we'll be doing some actual weight training. We'll see how we go.
Techy stuff:
I'm hunting for something interesting to hack on. I've been digging a bit through the SoC lists, and I think I'm either going to just do a bunch of grunt janitor work on gcc, some hacking on eglibc to see if I can help make it small enough to seriously compete with uclibc, or I also emailed one of the Python folks who said that they were looking for an XMPP server written in Python 3.0. I got a cryptic reply of "Keep pinging me, I'll get some time eventually". So that might be a doomed project with people who don't actually care about the result. Too bad, I thought it might be a fun way to learn what's new in Py3k.
Other:
I've started going through and pruning back my friends list on Facebook. At first I friended pretty much anyone I'd ever met. I've come to use it to see how the people I care about in life are doing through their status updates, so I'm getting rid of people who's statuses I just don't care about. It seems kindof mean, but oh well. I'd really like the list to be made of people who, if they posted "I'm having a crappy day", I'd phone them up to chat with them and hear how things are going.
Leif's still cute. Angie's still sexy. Home life in that sense is pretty much the same as usual. We don't have people visiting us every weekend, but I'm well enough and we've gotten used to the shifted work loads that we're generally managing now. What we desperately need is a Roomba that will shampoo the carpets for around Leif's highchair. Ugh.
The local used bookstore actually has French kids books. Apparently the Barnes&Noble in Palo Alto also has a French section. So, we'll hopefully be able to teach Leif at least a little bit of French while we're on the opposite side of the continent. Yay!
