Coder's block

I just hit a snag in my latest project and I'm going to have to restructure some things so they make more sense and are more intuitive. It should only take me a couple days but it'll be a painful 2 days.

The downside is that I can't halfway restructure things without forgetting where everything is, so it looks like it'll be a long day tomorrow. On the plus side I can just bury my head in the sand for the rest of the day.

Sophia had a rough night last night, and Heather is about ready to burst. Thankfully the Version went well last week and the baby is in a proper position to come flying out in record time, as soon as she's ready.

Here's an article regarding External Cephalic Version.

I just want to note that I believe this to be the most painful thing I've ever seen anyone go through. It certainly isn't as long as delivery itself, but from what I can tell the pain is rather exquisite. According to her Doctor, Heather is the only patient under her care who didn't opt for an epidural.

I've updated the sidebar on this site to include an RSS feed from my Jaiku account. Jaiku is one of many micro-blog web applications that focusses on minutae rather than large all encompassing posts like you would see on here (if I actually updated more than once a month). As such you can see little notes as I go through day to day tasks regarding the pregnancy, ideas, or life in general.

I'll have to make another post regarding upcoming videogames that I happen to be excited about, and maybe even some movie reviews.

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
