The second day of easter (2e Paas), but a work day for me. Spend the first part of the day dealing with email and reading some source code, then resting a bit. I'm dog-tired for reasons I don't understand; I'm getting enough sleep. Maybe living in a country where I don't know the language and where the customs are not what I am used to is more tiring than I'd like to admit even to myself.

Oh, and I'm sure that it didn't help that some drunken bozos were playing soccer outside our bedroom window in the middle of the night, and hitting our third-floor window with the soccer ball. I'm starting to think that the famous Dutch tolerance is a bit over-applied.

Went with Kim for a walk in the city center before supper; that made me feel much better. Had pancakes for supper at a restaurand on the Oude Gracht. Returned refreshed.

I hate to say it, but as sensible as mass transit is, it also takes a lot of time out of your day, even when it's a good system like they have over here.

Returned to work a bit; replied to some email, started looking into i2c for the Smart Battery specification for ACPI.
