Had my first good climbing day since arriving in Rhode Island this evening. I’ve been feeling weak and soft from intermittent workouts and lack of restful sleep. The fact that I was once again climbing at something like the level I used to makes me very happy and confident that I’ve settled in a bit here. I really need a climbing partner so I can get back to rated top rope and (pleasepleaseplease) lead. Bouldering is fun, but it’s for the serious jocks. I do pretty well on the harder top ropes, but I flirt with injury on the easy boulder puzzles.
Of course, a “good” climbing day means that I’ve got tiny lacerations all over my hands, and my forearm skin is weeping from trying to cling to this one totally evil hold (you sort of have to hug it and move your feet around a corner). W00T.
Spent my day writing WSDL, which is like a mutant, bastardized, cross between HTML and Java, with some of its very own syntax thrown in for good measure. In theory, this will allow our PERL based applications to talk to clients written in any language whatsoever. In reality, there are subtle differences between the various implementations. It’s just like any other sort of engineering. Evaluate the benefits and make yer’ choice.
