Such stuff as dreams are made on

[pozorvlak]

Yesterday morning I spent some time darning the holes in one of my favourite T-shirts. Thanks to mi_guida for teaching me how, but I can't say I rate it too highly as a leisure activity. But then when I tried to go to sleep, I was tormented by visions of thread being darned. Something similar happens to me almost every time I learn a new formal system: at least this one wasn't as bad as the nightmare in first-order predicate logic.

Sorry, that was a spectacularly dull entry.

It's not too bad if you do it in front of the TV/radio. I find it requires little concentration and the entertainment takes away from the sheer monotony.

I remember dreaming in Prolog a few years ago (during the first run at my MSc project), which was pretty bizarre. Not dreaming that I was writing a Prolog program, actually expressing the dream itself in Prolog...

I'm not sure darning's really meant to be fun... monotonous and good for when you don't want to think.

I'm happy, though - Grandma was impressed by the embroidery in the lining of the CPSD :)
