24 hours
It is now 10:52, June 18th, 2010, and I have just spent the last 24 hours roughly working on a single thing: The Geogame.
Well, I also planned out a trip to see ATB in Washington this weekend with Julian and other guys from CMU, and also met this Czech girl on facebook with whom we'll be forming a bigger group to go see the concert!!
But anyway, at least pretty much all of my time from 7pm to now has been devoted to fixing up stuff on the GeoGame. It took me freaking 6-8 hours to get a smoothish animation of the player's marker moving on the roads, and then the remaining time up to 8:30am to reduce the number of quest items to 1, to stabilize the data reset process, etc. After making super extra sure it all worked, I installed it on Tsaousi, made sure it worked, again, reset the db, an made sure again. Finally I sent a couple of confirmation emails for today's meeting with the MURI group, and I went to the house to change clothes and have some breakfast. Then I came back to campus, took a shower, came back to my office, picked up my stuff, headed to the meeting room, and then decided to write this post.
This is the first time, though, that I feel like I really earned the praise I got for the game. "Good job, Antonio" and "It looks very nice!" comments were present, and each one of them made me smile with satisfaction inside. It was worth it :)

Time shadow
Dating furniture placement shouldn't be too dissimilar from dating trees by their trunk width, or inferring past geological activity from the layers of the Earth.
(This is my new room, btw).

My new room
It's cheaper, dirtier, closer to campus, older, bigger, and more private than my previous residence. I think I got a good deal.
Bed, mirror, table, and chair - all for free! I'm cleaning it up to make it nicer (I've found and murdered at least three bugs bigger than my pinky in the room so far, so for my health's sake, I'm taking an active interest in removing the filth).
