15 may 2016
had sort of a weird day that felt like nothing really happened. i did some cleaning and reorganizing in the pocket studio; i took a long walk through campus; i talked to a few people. maybe i'm just feeling strange and dull because this was the first day in a few weeks that i gave myself to step back from work altogether and take a breather.
i'm really close to finishing up a bunch of stuff so i can get into having my summer leave. i don't ever want to stop moving.

sometimes i'm tempted to dump a bunch of lines here about ttbp development, but then i just started trying to keep a better changelog and commit messages. i'm scribbling down little thoughts i have here and there while i'm working on this, because i want to remember what working on this feels like. ~jumblesale asked me about writing a piece for the zine, and i'd like to do that in the near future once i hit all my goals for v1.0 release.

i started reading the cuckoo's egg by cliff stoll and it's pretty fantastic. if you've read it, i'd love to gush about it to you! (i mean, i'd love to do that anyway, but i don't like hyping/spoiling stuff for people, so just take this as my recommendation to read it and get back to me later, i guess). my partner recommended it to me as topical reading for all the thoughts i've had about the internet, computers, and tildeverse recently.

sometimes it's suddenly 2am and i didn't notice because i've been blasting music through my headphones, sipping whiskey, pounding on a keyboard. i notice that my fingers are sluggish over the keys, and that sometimes a blink lasts for minutes at a time while little packets of data are pushed out of my machine.
go to bed, ~endo.
