Exploring code
I’m at home, studying some Delphi code for interacting with XMetal. The guy who wrote it is home sick, but I can build and run straight out of version control. Sometimes I use a Delphi tool called ModelMaker - right now I list package dependencies and generate diagram of selected classes and interactions. Once the basic structure makes sense I’ll do some simple refactoring.
Still tired and a little cold but got some work done over at the Parliament. A good afternoon: developing schemas for some of the most important political documents in Sweden leads to plenty of interesting discussions. But these projects takes lots of energy - it’s not your average corporate development.
Aila was busy at her shiatsu practice, so I had dinner alone. On my way home I bumped into old friends and joined them for some evening tea.
When I finally got through to Aila on the phone she was extremely tired and almost asleep. There was much to say but no time or energy. We both felt the sadness - but there was nothing to be done.
