The Mandelbear's Musings

Saw the first rainbow of the season this morning; it was drizzling on my way to work. By noon, fortunately, it was cool and clear: just right for walking.

After my walk (see previous post) I spent the entire afternoon programming. This mostly consisted of taking the quick hack of a Perl program I wrote yesterday and adding some code for, basically, computing the weighted average of a list of vectors. The pre-existing code I was working from was an earlier hack written in Objective C by somebody else. Fun! No, really. I don't get in quite as much programming as I ought to for my sanity and self-respect.

Tomorrow I have to go back, figure out how I really ought to compute that weighted average instead of faking it, and then convert the guts of the code from an egregious hack into a reasonably well-documented Perl module. It will eventually be open source. Meanwhile, one of my coworkers is in Japan using the egregious hack for a demo.
