Urp. Fooded.

We had sps and les_nuages visiting for a BBQ supper tonight, and we ate, and ate, and then had desert, followed by coffies. Urp. That was lots of food. Very yummy too.

Diet, what diet?

CPP Hacks.

For ages I've belived that one couldn't paste a "\" in front of a "n" in C and have it produce a newline (\n). Well, you can. This works:

#include <stdio.h>

#define slash() \ //slash

#define strize(x) #x
#define strevl(x) strize(x)

#define slashit(x) strevl(slash()x)

int main(void)
  {
    printf("[%s]\n", slashit(n));
  }

produces the output:

[
]

As one might hope.

Selection Pressure

I have noticed recently (not for the first time, by any means) that very many of my friends are bisexual. Also, very many of my friends are polyamorous. The statistics are very much different than what one would get if one chose friends randomly from the overall population.

Now, of course, I don't choose friends randomly. I'm highly selective (judging by the fact that I have only a small group of good friends, not hundreds). That said, sexuality and polyness are not criteria I use to select friends. I have friends who are pretty much straight, or pretty much gay, or pretty much monoamorous (is that a word?), and it is NOT an issue.

So, what's going on? I can only assume that there is some statistical correlation between the criteria I do use (intelligence, humor, geekiness, etc) and both bisexuality and/or polyness. I wonder if there has ever been a study on the statistics of this.

Too Cute for Words.

For the Bored.

Waste time making pretty pictures.

Pausing.

Things have been very hectic for me the last couple of days. Now that I have time to myself when I can pursue some of my own projects, I don't feel like doing anything.

I think I'm just gonna take it real easy for the rest of the day, and maybe get something done tomorrow.
