A couple days ago, finally ordered rear struts for my car; Bilstein “HD” spec (versus “Comfort” or “Sport”).

While at the Sherman this morning, updated my hardware-accelerated mainframe crypto code to reference the correct library symbols when compiled for 64-bit addressing mode.  Resolved to merge shared code from my AES and DES modules into a single source file, but have not yet decided whether to bifurcate them via macros or function calls.  Function calls would be cleaner to maintain, but I wouldn’t want the cost of an extra method invocation to creep into the stuff that’s called in a very tight loop.  I bet the compiler will optimize out the extra function call, so I’ll probably do it that way.

Went out to Hanscom, put my updated airman’s medical and student pilot certificate on file, and got back on the schedule (x12, through September).  Stepping up to a 172SP with GPS in preparation for cross country training (versus “local”, i.e. taking off and landing at the same airfield all the time).  Also, it has a fire extinguisher installed, so you know, “bonus.”

Went out to Lowe’s (Saugus) with the wife, where she talked me down from Samsung SteamWasher™ territory to a pair of very affordable GE workhorse laundry machines.  Well done, honey.
