Minor updates on my life: I did a little more on the same-gnome rewrite and now the planets spin. We finally got to see Super Size Me. Started trying to select colours for repainting the windows; all we have decided so far is that we need more test-pots. Finished reading Kernighan and Pike’s “The Practice of Programming”, highly recommended. Trying to figure out where to go for our honeymoon, is Cairns any good in January ? Work today has been spent reanalysing data. Unfortunately I’m trying to find the bits that the automatic fitting routines screwed up. This is seriously tedious.

I noticed something good while going to see Super Size Me. There are two multiplex style movie theatres in Dunedin (and a couple of “art-house” style ones). One of the multiplexes recently expanded, but has somehow avoided playing more blockbusters. In fact four of the eleven movies it currently screens are documentaries. “Control Room” gets more screenings than Catwoman. I’m not complaining, just very surprised.
