I am not sure how normal this is, but if I sleep for more than about nine hours I wake up with muscles that feel like Jello. This condition seems to persist until I eat something. I suppose 9 hours is a long time to keep the body at 37 grad C maybe I am just hungry.

After awakening I came in to work. I did the usual stuff. We had a meeting with Professor Simonsen. That went very well. She is pleased with the current progress. I suppose that the meeting on Friday will not go as well.

My cs636 router group got together for the first time today. They are all good guys and I am psyched to get coding even though I have too much to do already. I even set up a wiki to do documentation stuff. I actually like the idea of a wiki better than the idea of a "blog" because I have long thought about having some kind of online "thought bucket" into which I could dump little tidbits of information, books I want to read, commands, example UNIX configuration files, and the like. A wiki is almost what I want. Perhaps there will be a qwiki along with qblog before too long. Speaking of which I still need to document qblog and finish the rss generator.

I put together some notes on information theory and compression for cs490-dsp. I don't think that they are half bad if I do say so myself.
