Life's been busy - I always say that you can tell how depressed a person is by how often they post to their weblog. Happy people *live* their lives.
That having been said, on to the update!
HEY, MAYNARD - WE GOT ANOTHER ONE
Since my last post, my dipshit cat has gone missing, presumably having contributed in a minor way to the satisfaction of a coyote's dinner plans. She is missed, more so by my wife, who had bonded with her in a strange and possibly unnatural way over the period of time since last November.
My hunting cat Tristan, however, has proved to be made of sterner stuff. Last weekend he was run over by a passing vehicle, sustaining a crushed pelvis and head trauma. When we took him into town to see the animal doctors, we fully expected a lot of head shaking and a vial of something to put him out of his misery.
Instead, they hospitalized him and took him into relatively stable condition, and he is now resting comfortably here at home with me, albeit in a cage for the next four months while he recovers. I'm glad he's OK, but he'll clearly never hunt big game again.
SHE CANNAE TAKE MUCH MORE O' THIS...
I have a friend I left back in Seattle whose health has deteriorated rapidly since I left. The two events are not correlated, to my knowledge. Currently, she's in the hospital and is not in a happy place. More than that is pretty much her story to tell, so I'll leave it there, but if you're the type to send good vibes, or pray, or commune with your inner scarab, or anything like that, maybe direct some of that good shit her way, if you're of the inclination.
HEEEEE'S A SECRET NINJA
Also since my last update, I have rejoined the Bujinkan, ending my sabbatical. Ouch. It's been tough getting back in - the group down here trains *brutal*, and I'm going home a wreck most nights. When I first started training, I recall the initial period of soreness more or less going away after the first two months. Well, I've been going there since January, and I'm still sore, all the time.
Coincidental to my return to the Bujinkan has also been my return to the gym, although I've been on a project at work lately which has kept me home more than I like. I'm finding my body enjoys working out and training a great deal more than it did sitting on my ass, drinking beer, and writing code all the time. Yay for health.

Aside from that, there really isn't much more to tell. Stay tuned for some information on how to build a network server in X86 assembly language. Maybe I'll post more often for a while, but maybe not - my life's pretty busy, and It's all I can do right now just to live it.
