I know I haven't kept up with it very well +(though my work `.plan` has been going strong every day since October). Oh +well, no time like the present to restart. + +Added a couple of type checks to Adopt. The only main thing left is to rewrite +the unit tests to work in the new style. Then it should be ready for Quicklisp, +I think. + +Continued learning how to sew. Hemmed my second pair of pants. Kind of +a miserable experience, but I'm getting better. It's weird that the machine +will happily let you forget to put the foot down before letting you sew, happily +fucking up your shit into a giant bird's nest instead of having some kind of +switch you need to press to let yourself fuck it all up. Oh well, I'll just +learn to not make mistakes I guess. + +Finally figured out what all the `/dev/loopNN` bullshit on Ubuntu is. Seems to +be their app store thing "snap". I removed some of the garbage "snaps" I never +installed in the first place, but there's still some installed with scary names +like "core" so I guess I'll just have to live with them if I don't want to take +the risk of breaking something. I did make a little `disks` script to show me +the output I care about using a combination of `lsblk` and `du` and `grep`. +It'll do for now. + +New UHK came. I now own three: one with browns, one with browns plus +stabilizers, and one with blues. The blues are even clickier than I remember. +I think I still prefer the unsilenced browns though. They have a nice clunk to +them instead of the clickiness of the blues. I think I'm finally done buying +keyboards — 2 at home and one at the office is plenty. + +Need to figure out how many hard drive bays I've got left in my tower and +motherboard. I'm running out of room on my Windows partition, and I'm thinking +of using Lightroom on Windows to finally move one more thing away from MacOS. +Sacrilege. Then DJ'ing for blues and Lindy dances will be the only thing +I still need the Mac for. I can live with that. + +The polydivisibility search I wrote over the weekend is still churning away. +It's searching base 41 now. Checking base 39 took about 4.6 hours. Base 40 +took around half that. We'll see how long 41 takes. Still no results, +unfortunately. I wonder if I could prove that odd bases never work. I played +around on the whiteboard but couldn't come up with anything (and if Parker +didn't I almost certainly won't, so I don't feel *too* bad about that). At +least my cores are getting some use. It's fun to see all 32 bars full in +`htop` for a change. Memory usage is pretty constant at about 3-4gb, though it +churns through a lot of garbage thanks to all the bignum arithmetic (~182tb +allocated for base 39). Is there a way to avoid all the bignum division maybe? +
