Sent off an update to Evolution. Lots of crypto stuff I just skipped over, not comprehending at all. But it should lift nn slightly closer to precious 80%.

My honour is lost. I was defeated by a Kinder-überraschung. Couldn’t find out where to put the rubber band without looking at the instructions. Must now drink Coffee Cup Of Shame.
I’ve found an anoying thing in C++. It’d seem that vectors lack a erase(int i) method, so that I have to use the erase(iterator iter) method instead. But since I still need to count with an int in my for loops, I have to manually make i and iter point at the same element. It annoys. It’s so unneccessary. The vector understands the [i] operator. It knows how to map an integer index to an object. Why can’t the bloody thing also do so in its methods?
A few ways to make my summer even better, in random order.
- Stop the rain.
- Make me thin and fit.
- Stop the killing.
- Bier! Schnell!
- Get me a girlfriend.
- Wireless coverage over entire CERN site (ok, my room and my office will do).
- Have a cuddly cat strolling about.
- Get me a coffee.
- And a piece of chocolate.
Have to learn C++ for this job. Looks not too bad so far, I’d say. I kinda like OOP, particularly the easy-to-grasp data structures it allows and the improved namespace segregation compared to C. Course, since I haven’t done anything remotely real in it yet, I have yet to see the real bad things.
Am reading Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel. Rather overly verbose, I would say, but it appears to serve. Just need to scroll past all the philosophical babble and stop when I see a block of Courier font.
I wonder, though. It’s C doubleplus. Is it doubleplus good or doubleplus ungood? Time may tell.

Whisky seint på kvelden er også ein fin del av ein fødselsdag.
I can now confirm that when you wake up, hung-over and twenty-five years old, a glass of eighteen year old single malt is a very very good way to start your birthday.
Cut off most of the beard. Made before’n'after pic.
Dominik taught us this word. Actually it’s pronounced “Rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiesenschmatzer!!!!!” It is the name of a peculiar kind of kissing, as follows: first a sloppy kiss on the cheek. The kissee will probably need to be gently but firmly restrained. Not breaking lip contact, the kisser inhales deeply through the mouth. When lungs are full, exhale forcefully while maintaining lip contact with kissee’s cheek.
Since Movable Type is out in a new version with stricter lisence terms, I’m considering switching again. WordPress and Greymatter have nice feature-lists and licenses. But I’m not entirely sure the switch would be painless.
Hadde studentpresentasjon om kva eg har gjort på så langt, dvs. ikkje stort. Det finst kjedeleg video.
