We had a BBC meeting in the East Bay, and I got to see Andrew and
Duncan, aside from the more usual suspects. So that was nice.
I was just very tired, because my sleep's been strange lately.
I also got some work done on the BBC, and, thanks to a tip from
H. Peter Anvin, I think I may resolve the memtest86 problem very
soon. We all concluded that the new BBC is almost ready. Nick
revealed in a relatively public way the information I'd given the
group: there are two organizations which want to use the BBC in
connection with end-of-the-year fundraising purposes.
The BBC is really coming along well at this point.

and you're just an angel.
There we can finally relax

I had the longest single basically uninterrupted conversation I've
had in about two years.
I had a vacation on Monday on account of Veteran's Day. Brita
came all the way across the Bay to visit me, and we got to eat
sushi and go down to the SF MOMA.
And after that I took a ferry across the Bay and then right
back immediately. The Golden Gate Transit ferries are really
cool.
