Life is good, but busy. The new job is working out great. Working on interesting, challenging problems is much better than tedium.

On June 8, 2008, I met an amazing woman and spent over 4 hours enjoying conversation with her over lunch. On June 18, 2009, I presented her with a ring, and she accepted it. On September 6, 2009, she becomes my wife.

Also, I just recently discovered an awesome programming game titled Core Wars. It is loads of fun, yet frustrating. I'm building my own MARS and an evolver based on it, but MSVC bugs are getting in my way. At least, I believe it is an MSVC bug - g++ and comeau both compile the code just fine in strict standards modes.
