I tried Taco Bell salsa on my airplane eggs this morning. Bleh, it was bad. Better stick to ketchup.

Programming against the Bloomberg C API is like banging my head against a wall. I like the event model, but that's it. Everything else is absolutely random! I mean, what does it mean when I recieve an error return code of "other error"? Why is the request date an int in two methods and a 32-byte fixed-width string on the third? Why will getMultipleHistory(NONUM) usually return the right values, but sometimes fail right after market close? It's insane.

My white board is completely filled up as of today. Now what do I do? I think I'm screwed. OK, just kidding. I just need to compact things a bit. :)

It's definitely fall around here. I switched from shorts to pants for this week and it's a good thing I did. When I went for a walk today, it was cold enough I was happy I wasn't wearing anything lighter. I'm not going to be able to get out and walk much longer, I think.
