I might be an idiot savant. Or just the former.

So, it turns out that I've been going about my new builds all wrong. I used the wrong profile and snapshot, and wasted days. But I inadvertantly got x working right on my system, and got the frequency scaling up, too. My code isn't working right at the moment -- it'll run in the foreground, but if I background it the job just hangs. But only for spaces of more than 1000 points. Bite me. But I'm sure that this will inadvertantly lead to an important breakthrough in our treatment of the system. Really.

Oh, and it took me an hour and twenty minutes to get "home" last night -- when I left (it wasn't even 10pm yet! so much for summer), it was too dark to see the path at all. I went around the front of Institute, to ask if they had anything like a flashlight, or an extra light or anything (it is an institute bike, after all). No, but what the do have, most helpfully, is a little flyer explaining in multiple languages that bikes without lights are not permitted to be ridden on the campus at night, and you must push the bike. So I went back and took the main road -- or tried to. I took lots of wrong turns, and naturally it was a dark and stormy night. But I saw a hedgehog, which was very cool and made me want to play croquet.
