Finally got around to fixing up my bike up to a usable condition, and rode it quite a bit in the summer/early fall. However now it’s been getting dark earlier again and so the poor bike has been standing in a shed for weeks. Must take it inside sometime, if I’m not going to ride it anymore…

My programming ‘mother tongue’ is python, but a lot of my work is data and computationally intensive, and python is often simply too slow. Hence the desire to learn C. At the moment I’ve found a middle ground – use python for the input/output scripting, and where necessary use scipy’s inline for C speeds. Debugging does take much longer though, but hopefully that’ll improve.

I started and finished one very silly-looking practice sock yesterday – it fits, even if it looks more like a moth hotel in terms of holes where they shouldn’t be (i.e. heel). I haven’t yet decided whether to tear it up or to keep it as a memento. I have small feet, but the speed was encouraging – definitely better than boring scarves!
