Sick
Things were going so well. I was getting so much done. And then, out of the
blue, I became violently ill last Thursday. Nothing specifically wrong,
except I have spent the last five days coughing uncontrollably for no
reason. It's very exhaustive. It broke my voice. It made me have bloodshot
eyes yesterday. Made my right eye swell itself shut.
The only nice thing about being sick is that I managed to watch every episode of firefly there is. I'm amazed I didn't know about this show when it was on. Totally cowboys-in-space, very fun. It also set the record straight: these guys did Steadicam, zoom, and "handheld CG cam" before the new Battlestar Galactica existed. Too bad it got canceled.
Before I got sick, I did my presentation at OCLUG about Xbox Linux. It was well received. Once again I thought I might have too much time, and once again I went over my prediction by about a half-hour.
