Latest news: Upgraded to Girlfriend 2003 version 4. Version 3 convinced herself of our incompatibility, then convinced me of the same as well.

We've hit it off really well so far, and I'm hoping we make through that "getting to know you" phase.]

Long run of 10 miles last week. I'm on track to run a half marathon in the next 60 days and a marathon by mid-January. Must remember to use sports drinks and/or energy gels in runs over 6 miles, though...that 10 mile run left me pale and shaking.

Progress continues on the Eylau computer game. I'm taking a couple of days off this month to work on the AI. We should be into beta on the AI by the end of November.
