Saturday we headed out to Jones Pond to glamp with (e:flacidness). The weather was a little chilly and rainy but we made the best of it. As soon as we got there we were sucked into this day drunk party of retired gays. We managed to get away after a little bit, and hung out in the cabin while it rained.

After a greasy dinner, we got ready for a PJ party in the barn - it was real campy and not too many people were dancing besides us. The rest of the night after that was long and interesting - we met all sorts of people including a furry (e:paul,58990).

It's weird, the people there are very old and retirement-homey. It makes me think that Jones Pond is fun, but gay camp is quickly becoming one of those "gay community" things that is fading into the past now that society is more tolerant and integrated.

Didn't manage to get many pictures - hard to carry a phone in a onesie

After working in the yard, we went out to dinner with my family for my sister Mary's birthday. Well, we struggled to plan something for two hours on the phone first, and then went out to Crust for dinner. We got a cheese, buffalo chicken and gluten-free veggie. Not sure what the gluten bigoted crust was made from but it was amazingly thin and crispy.

Afterwards we headed over to Hardware with Mary and Emily and to hang with (e:flacidness) and his friend Ra(sp?)

After getting home from work, (e:paul), (e:terry) and I worked on getting the garden beds cleaned up and ready. Terry mowed the lawn and trimmed the huge plant in the backyard, and Paul and I tilled and weeded the raised beds. We used the chipper to chop up the branches - it was fun.

We accidently uncovered a rabbits nest in one of the beds. I was so afraid we were going to find a baby rabbit massacre nearby. Thankfully they've already moved somewhere else in the yard.

(e:Paul) noticed the doors on the church of the Ascension turned red recently. They got rid of the nice solid hardwood doors and now are plasticy and red. Were they sold? What's left?

I found a really good resource for learning new languages, and getting a quick rundown on syntax, operands, logic etc with an example of each. I used it yesterday when I needed to write a Perl script for AutoCAD, but I found it really useful for getting a better hand on javascript.

Learn X in Y Minutes

The weirdest language I've ever seen is on there. It's called brainfuck . Everything in brainfuck with only 8 commands is done by manipulating a pointer over a 30,000 cell array. The compiler for it can be only 200 bytes. Why does it exist? Keine Ahnung.

This, for example, will print out the letter A:

++++++ [ > ++++++++++ < - ] > +++++ .
