Notes
1. The case of the missing SPAM: 06:38
I seem to have woken up in a freakish alternate universe.
I don't understand. I simply don't understand. Did I _imagine_ frying and storing all that SPAM? I can't find it anywhere within my fridge.
And now my contacts file refuse to load without getting corrupted.
ARGH! I DON'T GET IT!
2. Dum da dum dum...: 06:44
Imagine Beethoven's 5th playing right now.
My hard disk is Not Happy!
I restored my contacts file from the automatic numbered backups that Emacs keeps. Still, all evidence points to very quiet filesystem corruption. I'm going to have to do a filesystem check later... I've been segfaulting all over the show lately, and that's just WEIRD.

3. Solved the SPAM problem: 19:54
Somehow, I managed to completely scan past it. Blanked out. It was right on the shelf. Okay, well, it was on a tub of margarine at the back of the fridge... Mariana pointed it out. Whew.
Aiyah.

4. Happy girl: 20:05
Again, very fun day at IBM. =) It's so much fun working on something exciting and new, and blogging has helped me find really cool people working in the same space. I gave a quick run-through to a number of people from CAS, and that was tons of fun. It gave me ideas on how to improve my standard dogear spiel...
