Weeklog for Week 13: March 24 to March 30
Progress
Oooh, a surprise appointment, I like those. But well, it went well, and I might get to work on another project soon.
But I finally made it to the board game club. Very nice, very relaxed people.

Books
- Come Away by S.F. Winser: this is the first book of the Magiclysm series, and the worst thing about the book is that it's so hard to find. I enjoyed it tremendously, that I read straight through in two days. The ending is a bit disconnected, so the resolution is not as satisfying as in the second part, Encyclopedia Mathemagica, but that's fine. The second-worst thing about this book is that there are only two parts and not more.

The interface for inputting questions and the data structure where he saves Q&A's must be the absolute worst for this kind of application.
