Today I must must must write documentation, despite the five thousand
other things I would rather be doing, many of them more exciting.
Right now I'm preparing myself; I've put Roll the Bones in
my CD player to listen to for the first time in months -- I'm actually
inspired to do this from rereading a January entry of mine in which I
raved about the CD. I'm filling up my water bottle. I'm getting a
Coke so that there's caffeine handy. Last but not least I need to find
Tim (our glorious project manager) and have some meeting with him about
releases and documentation and stuff. Then I'll have cleared my path
successfully and will (I hope, I hope) be able to sit and write for
several hours straight, and at the end of it have an installation
document which makes sense.

Back! The install document isn't completely finished, but it's in a
solid draft form. I sent it to Vivek and Tim to look over, and told
them I hope to do the final rewrite tomorrow. I'm still very unhappy
in some ways with how choppy it is, and how we don't have any stylistic
conventions... but it'll do for the moment. I'm having to restrain
myself from fiddling with it, as I keep remembering things I've
forgotten. Tomorrow is soon enough, self.
And I've just finished doing a build&release, and installed it on the
Unix machine, and created all the executable foo for the Windows
machines. Now I'm relaxing a little, catching up on news (nn is
finally working on idiom again) and Liralen's journal. It's nice to
have some time to sit and read at the end of the day, although I need
to be careful not to lose track of time; John Hart and I are supposed
to have dinner tonight and I really don't want to miss it.
Hmn. That means I should leave now, doesn't it? Zoom!
