Alex and Io
So, today we discovered Alex has mono. I am a carrier so I guess it's no surprise. I guess it's better that it happened now than once she got into college, but she's probably not going to be very energetic for a few months.
I asked Steve Dekorte about the DBI module for Io, and apparently it is incomplete due to inability to test on Steve's part. So I've been asked to take up the slack and make it happen. We'll see.
In a related note, the next release of Io is going to feature some pretty high-powered syntactic sugar. {}'s, ()'s and []'s will be recast into function calls with names like “brackets” and “parens.” Of course, due to Io's fantastically awesome scoping system, you can overload these methods in some object and put that object in your object's parent or proto slot, and presto! different syntax is available down a particular inheritance tree! I think this shit is pretty wild…
For my birthday, I got a quantity of CDs. One of the ones I hadn't heard yet, Saxon's “Wheels of Steel” is just awesome. On a scale from AC/DC to Sikth in terms of complexity, they're hovering about an inch above AC/DC, but it's impossible not to speed while listening to it. Alex said “It was like dog crapping on lawn,” and though I couldn't agree more, I absolutely love it. :)
We're going to go watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force Season 1, which my brother kindly gave to me for my birthday. I'll bring it down to Tech next time I visit, too.
