That cold pretty much wiped me out all last week. I’m feeling fine now.

I haven’t finished the jacket yet. The pockets came out perfectly, but I made some pretty significant mistakes when laying out the lining and had to get some more material. I also decided to tear out the old collar and make a new one, and to take advantage of the pocket construction to fit some extra material into the hip seams. This took a lot of extra time but the jacket looks a lot better and fits more comfortably, so I think it was worthwhile. The jacket started as a sort of casual experiment but has become something I could wear regularly.

My new job is going fine. The company’s in crunch mode and everything is a bit chaotic, but I’m working away and not letting myself get too stressed out. It’s nice working at home again.

I’ve been putting a lot of my free time into Radian lately. I’ve built a simple object system, with member dispatch, inheritance, instance variables, and parameterized constructors. There are no mutator methods yet (all methods are “const”, in C++ terms), but it should be enough to build a primitive console-IO module. I expect I will have a working “Hello world” by the end of the month.
