I feel much better

Insomnia appears mostly cured, though I ended up taking a 'boredom-nap'* today. On the plus side, the program appears to actually do what it's supposed to do now -- it still gives me the wrong answer, but it tells me why. (Basically, it gives me a wrong answer that is just as good as the right answer.)

* Basically, I spent the day programming so ended up lying down to recover mental fatigue. Because I find programming to be very frustrating.

Here, have some space porn Cassini Pictures.

In non-work news, I have a crossover story between Vision of Escaflowne and Charles Stross's Laundry book series, which is a pair of novels that are one part spy fiction, one part occult Lovecraftian horror, and one part computer-geekfest. If I ever get free time again, my fanfiction's premise might be expanded to feature how Hitomi Kanzaki, intelligence-service intern, saves Japan from the Destiny Machine Mark 2.

No one will ever read this*, but it makes me very happy.

* Going to try to write it for Escaflowne fen who have never read Stross's books, in the bare hopes someone will take a risk.
