I’ve been meaning to write some about what’s going on recently, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. The guys who stole my laptop have been caught! I had to go in to the police station to identify my stuff and the suspects. Unfortunately I didn’t get a good enough look at the guy to id him in the lineup, so I didn’t mark any particular person as the one. I don’t know what’s going on with the case, as I haven’t heard from the inspector since then — and they still have my stuff.
Next up is Attendio, which is going pretty well — always a lot of work to do. I’ve started working on a replacement parser for the search stuff using Ragel, which I’ll blog more about later. There were some extra tickets for the Cake concert at Bimbo’s last weekend, so I got to go. It was pretty cool, and it was interesting to actually see Cake live — the lead singer doesn’t look quite like I expected, though I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting.
The apartment hunt has been sort of stalled, with Jen’s place still looking like the best bet. I’ll probably be deciding pretty soon.
I rented six movies the other day:
- The Departed: Great movie, keeps you on your toes
- The Science of Sleep: Makes you feel very dreamy
- A Scanner Darkly: Trippy, goes a long way without much plot
- Stranger than Fiction: Funny, yet somewhat serious
- Babel: Very serious, very heavy — interesting points made and good cinematography
- Lady in the Water: Takes a while to get to the point, kinda dull
It’s too bad the movies weren’t better, but oh well. I got my bike back up a few weeks ago, and have been using it to get around a little bit, though BART is still my primary mode of transportation.

If you want Jenn’s place, you should probably get on it — they need someone by mid-april, and I think they just put it up on craigslist this week.
