After nearly finishing changes to four files yesterday, I used SVN to show the changes between now and when I started the changes, and wrote out four to-do lists itemizing all the changes in the four files. Showed them to Alfonzo last night and we was like, "um, you gotta change this and that," and so I did those this morning (though I don't remember what they were). From about noon:15 to noon:45 I tweaked the to-do lists, and then embarked on the great challenge of implementing all those changes on 4 x 12 sets of files. Eight of the sets were largely the same (so they certainly should have been written as classes in the first place) but four had extra modifications around which the tweaks turned out not toooo difficult to implement.

Finished the changes in 6 hours, and then did some testing and found, to my delight, they pretty much do the right thing! (at least in the case of the identical ones.) I found a bug which, by its nature, almost certainly appears in all of them, but there were several different tests which the code passed perfectly. Hoooray!

emiko lesson

8:46pm JST Wednesday 20 January 2010 (day 14546)

Emiko did great homework before her lesson. I'm thankful for that; it gives some direction for the lesson, and helps me actually correct things that will likely stay in her mind more effectively than just yammering about whatever.

After checking her homework we yammered about going to see Avatar, but in 3D instead of just the 2D version. I hope it looks awesome with polarized glasses instead of red/green filters used by cavemen.

I wrote to her friend Akiko to invite her as well. Options are this or next Friday, or the next Sunday or Tuesday.
