(No Title)

Like the new digs?  Let’s try out one of these new blockquotes I’ve heard about:

Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, suddenly exist between?
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, happen just today, some way?
Awesome (quote from a Chicago song, by the way).  I just added back my blog icons down underneath the “I Power Blogger.”  I decided to homebrew a “Get Christ” icon in MS Paint.  Figured that, based on this blog, it must look like I basically eat, breathe, live, and copulate with (it’s not true, Kristin!) computers 24 hours a day.  Might as well start doing something to debunk that myth.  Speaking of Myth, my PVR is… oh, wait.  Counterproductive.

Okay, well I put a line break there, which isn’t directly computer related, so I can talk about the MUD.  I’m having uneasy thoughts about Python.  I like Python, and I like how it’s object-oriented.  I’m just wondering if it might not be easier to use loadable libraries.  I’m really mulling this over hard.  More to come on this.

I think it all goes back to Valgrind.  When I analyzed my program with Valgrind, libpython.so just took a horrendous dump all over the place with memory accesses.  I know my code isn’t perfect (yet) in this way, either, but I think I can do better.  That’s the only thing.  Maybe I’ll look into other (more stable) languages.  Or maybe something’s wrong with Valgrind.

I just hate to work so hard to get rid of my memory gaffes and then link against a library that’s a sieve.

Anyway…
