I obeyed his instructions ten minutes later, and had my worst
nightmare since Christmas eve.
I dreamed that Churchill was in danger of dying, and that Tommy was
stating his case to God. Tommy offered the Lord a WOK, and then a LOP, and then himself, if
Churchill could be spared. Christ and Moses were present as members of
the Executive Council. Barbara was taking notes, and I was holding a
copy of the
FFI
code-book in case Jehovah wanted that too. ‘No,’ said
Barbara, ‘Tommy's life will be enough,’ and a tear fell on
her notebook. A heavenly choir began chanting ‘Hosanna’ in
Morse.

Silk and Cyanide, p. 465
It's a good book. I read it for the second time Thursday into
Friday. And for the second time I finished all 600 pages within a 24
hour period.
Next up, John
Adams
and Shadow
Puppets.
something I
need to remember more often
Judging from his December 12
entry, Hixie has actually been reading my blog.
Is that a hint that weather is boring and my titles aren't very
creative? And I assume he would have preferred that I had written
16°F and -9°C. He's right, of course.
I've actually started hacking Mozilla a bit on Thursday night rather
than just drowning in bugmail and reviews
and not doing any work of my own. Of course, all I did was just fix a
few easy bugs
and think
about another one to relax after spending much of the evening doing
homework. I didn't finish the harder, but
related bug yet, although I did make some progress this morning.
Never mind actually thinking about doing anything major,
like not having ten different ways to do intrinsic sizing (which would
fix the aforementioned harder bug
for me).
Off to meet Chris and Boris for
lunch...
If you thought discrimination was a thing of the past, read
this
article about discrimination based only on whether names on resumes
sounded white or black.
It's too cold outside. To be exact, it was 16F (-9C) this morning.
