Another week is almost behind us, but as usual the next one is stretching ahead like some kind of crazy temporal highway.

I'm leading up a development effort at work recently, and it's not the largest nor the most exciting project (as projects go) but it is at least some experience in the lead saddle. I dislike dealing with flawed abstractions and outside insistence on following previously applied (but broken) design patterns, but I think the design right now is looking pretty plausible. In my experience, the scale of development efforts, as expressed in terms of the amount of time they take to complete, can be sorted into three categories: one day, two weeks, and more than two weeks. This one falls into the final category.

Hey, let's go, Capitals! There have been some good games. Last night, they issued a complete old-fashioned beatdown, and one more win puts them into the second round. Can they go all the way this year? It would be cool. Actually, it would just be nice if that tart Sidney Crosby didn't win it again. If the Caps are the actual winners, that would be nice at a higher level.

Surprisingly, there's not a video game story in this headline yet. Well, here we go. After three tries, I finished that supertank level in Valkyria Chronicles and moved onto the next level, which wasn't too difficult, and now I'm on the level after that. I haven't played in a few days, but maybe this weekend I'll get a chance. Or maybe tonight. Or maybe I brought my Playstation 3 to work today and I'll whip it out (giggity) and play right here. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go f%#$ yourself.

Alright, I gotta go work some of this work.
