Mostly finished packing. I watched a couple of movies on encore I think.
This evening I played a kinda-dumb game with some of my friends. Something to do with chicken soup and teenage souls.
I got my GEGL shirt

Flew to Boston to join the forces at Helix Code, Inc.
I now sleep on an inflatable matress in the Lucky Cave.

Miguel and Federico arrived today, so now I only have a thin sleeping bag between me and the cold, hard floor.
See previous entry
* * *
More development of the Secret StuffTM. Progression is occuring rapidly
Dinner consisted of $20 canolli followed by a bout of hyperactiveness
Ettore is now here
Apartment shopping tomorrow
* * *
Went apartment shopping with Federico. Found a decent place, might take it.
I've been asked by my employer to cease and desist the
disclosure of information pertaining to my activities here at
the company. Furthermore, I would like to issue the following
statement:
I am not working on anything that is secret, may be perceived as secret, or is in any way related to anything that may or may not be or be perceived as secret.
Dinner with Chris at 'Charlie's Kitchen'

Got back from the Office at 5, set the alarm for 10. At 10, the time for awakage got pushed back to 11.
Called the apt. people, appointment tomorrow.
Unfilling dinner at the Legal fish place. Then at some cajun/mexican place, since i was still hungry
More hacking today

So we have an apartment, and should be moving in tomorrow. I think it's pretty nice.
I now have a nice G3 on my desk. I am enjoying the MacOS experience so far.
Zucchi arrived last night. I don't think he likes the cold of Boston.
We now have DSL, but it seems to be worse than the modem. We are all considering going into the ISP market with the help of a couple of monkeys
Bought some new headphones and a new mouse. They both are very nice, which has put me in a good mood.
Movie night - a movie about some people in Ireland. Mostly rain and death.
Progress is, well, progressing.
* * *
Didn't sleep last night. After returning from work around 3 AM, we played some mario kart at The Cave and then watched full metal jacket. The movie finished around 7 AM so Itook a shower, ate some pop tarts, and went to work.
Worked on getting gnome-core release-ready and adding some last minute hacking in. Still some stuff left, like the session-properties bug.
Got apartment keys. Hopefully will move in tomorrow.
* * *
IHOP for breakfast. I hear miguel went to IHOP last night, too. Apparently he is on a quest to try everything they have there. This is looking to be worse than the Au Bon Pain.
Worked around some buggy gnome-session behaviour. There are some issues there.
Fixed a dialog in the panel, and committed the large menu icon stuff.
Released test versions of gnome-core and gnome-applets. A small problem, but otherwise working well
* * *
More IHOP action at the hands of The Juicer
More harvardnet suckage.
Finally released gnome-core and gnome-applets 1.1.1. Release announcement here.
* * *
The LinuxPPC CD came in today, so I got the G3 up and running in Linux/GNOME. Also got spidermonkey going on that box.
Got a new desk. No drawers, but more legroom.
Hack-o-rama at the sweatshop today. Didn't get home until 5:15 AM.
* * *
Got 3 hours of sleep then headed back to the office. There was supposed to be a meeting but it didn't happen because of the weather. Boston doesn't seem to be able to handle snow very well. They put this dirt/sand stuff out which I find pretty annoying,
George fixed a couple of panel bugs, so 1.1.2 might be on its way in a couple of days.
More hacking.
Continued to not sleep.
Watched the big lebowski at The Cave
* * *
Spent the night working, then went to the new apt. to wait for the beds to arrive. Almost fell asleep while waiting.
Beds arrived, went back to work
* * *
All day at work

Mig is back from .ca.us. The first thing he tells us about is their glorious IHOPs. Then he takes us to the one here. It only took an hour before anyone took our order. Perhaps it is Deli Haus time.
Moved my 2 suitcases to the new place.
work work work, hack hack hack. 1.1.2 is almost ready to go.
* * *
First time sleeping in a bed in a month
Woke up at 3:30 PM. Back to the sweatshop.
First thing Mig says when I come in is "Did you go to IHOP today?" This is getting rediculous.
Got 1.1.2 out the door.
Miggie is off to find a Paris IHOP
* * *
Played with some panel stuff for a bit
Weekly Helix corporate meeting. This was the 4th or something. Time sure is flying by. Things are progressing very well, too.
