On friday November 17th, I started the first of what will be 2 two week vacations in 2 months. That night, sitting at my desk in the office at 7:00, I decided to fire up monodevelop and try out the Boo Language. I had been using Banshee since fixing the support for it in my xchat irc script, and was somewhat impressed with the startup speed of mono gtk applications when compared to Python. Although I had just finally gotten a pygtk app to run in both windows and linux (unmodified! it was kind of exciting) I decided to go ahead and play around with the CLR's library a little.

A month ago while I was visiting home I put on my girlfriends glasses and lo, I was able to see much better than normal. I had noticed slight deterioration of my vision about a year earlier, as signs that were far away were slightly fuzzy, but I saw far better with the glasses on than without. This was a bit alarming.

I spent the last few days worth of free time tearing my hair out with respect to the todo list and it's general lack of performance. The problem seems to be that nested sortables (Sortables that contain other Sortables) are extremely slow in Firefox on linux. In a quest to get out of the prototype/scriptaculous world and also fix my application, I spent 3 hours surveying various ajax toolkits.
