New. Improved. Stays crunchy in milk.

Goodby, Europe

I'm almost done packing up for my flight back to the US. I really can't wait to get home. It's been fun, but I'm starting to hate it. It's time to go home.

I returned the busted suitcase today, and purchased the fine example of 1980's industrial design at a "car boot sale" (the term Britons insist on using when they mean "rummage sale") pictured below.

It is amazingly tough, though I don't care for the little dinky wheels at the end. It tends to tip over. However, the 14 pounds I payed for it beats the hell out of 55 pounds for the other case.

Anyway, it's off to bed with me, for my three hours of sleep!

Ophidian progress: bug squishing completed

I finished bolting together the last bits of my tokamak equilibrium solver the day before yesterday, and wrapped up the basic debugging yesterday. Now it's time to run some tests.

I could probably finish most of the testing on the airplane from London to Newark, but alas, my laptop (and everything else) will be in the cargo compartment. Bugger.
