One definite improvement over last week is the heavy rain. About every other day, we get a strong show, and there are two big windows by my workstation. Every time I look up or to someone else, my eyes pass over and out the windows. At the moment, I'm looking out the window to my left, looking at the at the garage roof. All along the top of the roof it's like a blurry whiteness from the rain hitting it. The window ahead of me is right in front where water tends to drain off the roof, so I have a heavy sheet of drops. The only downside is that there isn't much lightning... but that really should be a plus, since lightning isn't safe for human contact. :-)
Dan and I will try to go play racquetball again today. We've found a place that has 2 courts, and we'll go and see how full they are. As it turns out, neither one of us called the YMCA, so it is possible there will be courts there when we call, if this place doesn't work out.
I spent most of last week learning about threads and implementing them. Although this exact implementation of threads may not be useful when I get another job, it will definitely help me on any big projects with which I'll work. Ah, my time has run out. I had to clean and rebuild the project... and it took as long to compile as it did to type this. It's no small program at this point

Any possibility of spinning off some of the functionality into some dlls? If it's taking ten minutes just to compile, it might be getting to the size that a bit of segmentation would be helpful.
:-) At the moment we have 30 DLL up and running. The problem is that we have a shared library that needs to be updated fairly often, and when that happens, we want to make sure all the DLL's have the most recent (least buggy) version of the library.
It's all a work in progress. When the base library settles down, total recompilations will be much rarer.
