The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner there may wait...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

So cool 2J! They will be flying over your house for a long time to come.

Then there will come a day when your house will be a fixture on the flight path.

Sigh... afternoon's coding is not going well. Oh, I've got my tic-tac-toe algorithm right now, so the program at least tries to win, but the output's not right. Argh, I need another day this weekend to work on this stuff...

BTW, I wanted to tell you, TCM is showing Earth vs. the Flying Saucers tonight, along with The Blob and The Thing from Another World. The schedule is here:

Not if your X player is a learning algorithm and your 0 player moves randomly ;-)

After 500,000 games, X wins up to 3/4 of the time... I think, but then I've been fooling with this code so long I forget what it does now.

Right. Got it sorta working, waiting to hear back from the TA. I'm going to B&N to read something new.

I just opened my front door and there are TWO MORE of those ever-lovin' snakes climbing up the inside!!!

Must be a nest somewhere.

Since i last posted, I have collected 4 more rat snakes. Just put my gloves on, went out there and picked them all up. They'd bite, but it felt like their teeth were nothing more than velcro-like.

I have 5 rat snake babies in a jar beside me.

Is that cable? I don't have cable. :-(

But we did just see The Blob and Joshua really liked it! I was suprised. It was just scary enough.

Steve McQueen and Miss Crump.

Sounds like you're starting a rat (snake) farm down there.

Heh!

Kinda startling, but nothing more. I am actually thinking they have a nest in my wall! They seem to be coming out of the bottom of my siding out in the front under the livingroom window.

I guess this means that you won't have any mice. :)

I am hoping a few escape my capture...but I'm catching all I see...we'll release them down by the river.

They are really extraordinary snakes...they can climb straight up anything! They climb right up the side of the jar, even! They climb trees and raid birdnests. They are constrictors, not biters.

I've learned quite a bit about them!
