The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

Evenin' folks. Sorry if I missed you in the pingages. We're in a different facility tonite (closer to campus). But the wireless connection here is vey weak. I'm just stoppin' by to say hello and give a Jr. update.

Wife talked with guidance and asst. principal today. They are allowing him to move on to Geometry (new terms starts Monday) and we will figure out what to do with Algebra. Turns out without the test he was only off by one point. With the test (which was sprung as a surprise after four snow days) he was down by four.

IF he has to take Algebra over again at the school, we'll do it in summer school. Solves a lot of issues. If the school says he doesn't have to retake it, we're going to hire a tutor to take it privately so he'll be okay for Algebra 2.

Checkin' out for the evenin'. Looks like we may be drivin' home in ice and freezing rain.

See y'all Sunday most likely.

g'nite

Cool pics!! Though I miss the lump under the covers on the bed that would be Miss Kitty.

Question: Why is the snow sliding off the car--you have a garage (sniff)!

Roger that. At work I just use my laptop and have never gotten into the whole thing of having a separate kb/monitor for it. It works pretty good the way it is.

At home, though... I finally sprung just a few weeks ago and got a new Viewsonic 19" LCD monitor for myself, replacing the old trinitron CRT (with the massively burned-in image of my weatherstation embossed on it). Shuuuweeet. It's so much nicer to look at.

Dunno if y'all saw this... Humphrey Bogart as Frodo...

Then there's The Whole Ball of Wax...earlier I had Duelling Planets, but The Big One won...

Sadly, I've lost my copy of the book. Though I know where the sequel is...

I have the movie, on VHS.

Good story, no complaints with the FX for the time.

'Niters for real :)

Bah. Heretic.

Argh, this programming language is the most exasperating thing either. And the textbook doesn't explain anything at all. I have to do all the homework without using assignment statements, or using loops. It's all recursion. And these dumb parenthesis are going to kill me.

Heh heh heh, that felt good!

Sorry to hear your new programming language isn't going well though. Lack of good documentation sucks.

Snow is easier to remove than ice and I don't really need the car until Monday morning.

I've got a DVI adapter if anyone needs it.

It's going to be a little frustrating for a while. It's a language developed from LISP, with all the fun that entails. Ack, no objects! How am I supposed to cope?

LISP is cool... I wrote a paper about it my freshman year at college.

You know... generations of programming was done before object oriented languages ever existed... ;)

Yeah. On punch cards. I don't really want to try either way.

This language would be ok if I could find a good reference. The textbook just has some examples without explaining anything - like, how do you do a negative? Or an 'else' clause? I think I may check out B&N tomorrow on the off chance they have a book I spend three hours reading.
