2015.03.05 – Distractions

I was not very productive at all today. I got pretty frustrated so I took a break and worked on fixing some trivial issues and then called it a day. On the upside I was meeting my friend Lisa after work. We became friends while I was at Urban Airship. She is one of their data scientists. I walked over to Trader Vics where we were meeting for happy hour.  The weather was lovely and people were out in droves. It has been so ridiculously beautiful. Everything is blooming and sprouting early.

Lisa was already there when I arrived so I ordered a drink and some appetizers and we sat and caught up. Things are going well for her and she said she is getting to work on  real stuff now 🙂 She started working there shortly after I had. Andrew showed up a little bit later and we all had a nice time hanging out. After about an hour we all had to get going though. She needed to get home and we had a PLUG meeting to get to.

It was a pretty interesting talk by someone from the EFF. Andrew and I had quite the conversation about software licensing, BSD, Linux and lots of other stuff all the way home.

Today I learned about LLVM and GCC compilers. Apparently LLVM is ‘better’ but doesn’t run on very many architectures.
