So I dreamt I was in a cooking competition, where I was helping out my cousin Anjing. In my dream, I accidentally threw out the risotto, and couldn't figure out how to brew a simple pot of coffee. Hm, what could this mean?!?!

I think I might have some form of blogger's block. You guys have anything interesting to talk about?

I've only skimmed the original paper, but this article is intriguing--"...in their study, the top 20 per cent of the largest programs contained over 60 per cent of the bugs."

I've felt like longer functions are more bug-prone per line of code than shorter ones, and this study seems to confirm that intuition.

Went to look at condos today. There are some pretty nice places out there. But given my current financial state, anything I buy would make my budget extremely tight.

On the one hand, it's a bit of a "waste" to spend all that money on rent when I can use it to pay toward my own place. On the other hand, is it really a smart idea to deplete my savings given the current economic climate? Maybe I can ask Suze if I can afford it!

It is difficult for us people to visualize large numbers. And I still have problems with intuitively projecting "exponential growth" even if I deal with it every day.

And I always find I haven't done half of what I wanted to do. Even when I just wanted to do nothing.

I have small wide feet, and they're hard to find shoes for. So the annual shopping for a pair of "leather shoes" and a pair of "rubber shoes" went the usual way--frustrating. Shoes that I liked didn't fit, and shoes that fit were horrible. So finally decided to see if online shopping might be better. I ordered two pairs of shoes from endless.com. One pair looked really good, but were so narrow that I had to return them.

Thankfully, the other one, a pair of Teva hiking shoes actually fit. So now I feel ready to climb Mount St. Helens.

Shoe shopping online verdict: still frustrating, but possible.
