Sadie Lewis wins “Mother of the Year“.  Says one interviewee, “If it weren’t for moms like Sadie, we’d never get bananas or snuggle.”

We need a DJ for our reception on Sept 6. If you know someone in Toronto who doesn’t think that 70s Eurotrash disco has come back into fashion, or that little kids and gangsta rap mix well, please let me know.

At quarter after ten last night, in our pajamas, Sadie and I signed the papers to buy a new house.  (Well, new for us: it was built in the 1920s, and the previous owner lived in it for 51 years.)  This afternoon I picked up a check at the bank and handed it over to the real estate agent as a down payment.  It seemed like such a small piece of paper, considering everything that was riding on it… We take possession at the end of August; lots of renos to do (knob and tube wiring — yee hah), but we’re very excited.

Everyone’s making good progress:

• Ming and Bing have posted their second demo — next step is to do some serious design of the final product.
• After correcting an earlier post of mine, Xuan has blogged a fuller description of what she and Edward are building.
• Zeev Lieber posted a brief summary of what Dmitri and William did last term. Dmitri’s still wrestling with GWT exceptions.
• Jeff Balogh shortens his build.
• Matthew Basset sent his first data.
• Joseph Yeung is converting an EXE to an MMC.
• Victoria Mui completes a subtask.
• Daniel Servos likes Moodle plugins.
• Qiyu Zhu can edit roles.
• Nick Jamil provides more details.
• Qi Yang bursts into song.

Oh, and it looks like I’m going to get a grant from The MathWorks to upgrade the Software Carpentry course and find out what scientists are actually doing with computers — more on that once I know whether Sadie and I have bought a house or not.
