Day 1408

Had a rather troublesome first part of the day: got laughed at in the science for asking how to derive log₂ from log₁₀ ( log₂(n) = log₁₀(n) / log₁₀(2), I worked out later) 'for one's own amusement'.

My supervisor came up behind me in the lab when I was e-mailing T about the Scott report and said he'd rather've found me working on his cons() function. Actually, from this point things began to improve because he explained it very carefully.

This was so distracting that I utterly forgot to go to the C++ lecture. Went to see the lecturer to ask if he'd made any announcements. He'd noticed I wasn't there, which I suppose is gratifying, and kindly went through the substance of the lecture on his board, unprompted.

Ended the day on a wordprocessing machine, in sunny white space. Went for the bus and found everything blue and yellow instead of red - spring is on the way. Strong south wind.

Came home in the sunset, and, following a tip M'd sent me from work, registered an alphanumeric id at CompuServe.

In the evening settled down for a comedy fest of (new) Fast Show, Red Dwarf VI (I imagine VII would've been on but it was delayed because Craig Charles was in prison) and (new) Fist of Fun. Had a Scotch at ten, relaxed and enjoyed the weekend ambience.
