Since I have never seen any evidence that anyone ever reads this site, I think I’ll try to turn it into more of a journal and less of a news blog. So:<\/p>\n
Finished up the system integration part of my project at work today. Now I just have to get it working with real data. Always nice to have.<\/p>\n
Finished reading the relevant chapters of Tannenbaum today. The description of how capabilities are protected in Amoeba was a forehead-slapping moment. Of course. So I think I’ll work on the design of the object store a bit, and then dive into some actual code. Someday.<\/p>\n
TKD practice today. Completely blanked on the first part of the form we’re learning, but had the middle and end down. My right hamstring seems to be in permanent spasm. I should stretch more, I suppose.<\/p>\n
I’m trying to get back into flight simulator a bit more. Yesterday I flew the 737-400 a bit, but crashed on landing. Today I flew it from San Fransisco to Portland, and greased the landing. Something wierd with wxRe, though: ATC assigned me the reciprocal runway that ground was assigning takeoffs. So a heavy jet got takeoff clearance on 28L just as I was over the middle marker for 10R. I landed anyway, since there’s no go-around option for the ATC. Hope the new version handles things better.<\/p>\n
Hand-flying the big jets is getting easier. I’m still not up to flying an approach, but I hand-flew the 737 to altitude, making course changes as necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
