Awake, and sick

Woke with sniffles and a cough at 5:15, after going to sleep around 1:30; writing now while the hot chocolate cooks. G damned a colleague earlier for coming in to work while sick and infecting us all, but when he was sick last week he came to work every day and coughed all over us. This is the result.

In other news, the competition that ran over Christmas and into January has been judged: our entry was dismissed in the second round (i.e. far too early, no money and no fame). Ah well. The winners used a planning principle that we considered and abandoned in the first week, so in theory every minute we spent after that decision was wasted time. (shrugs)
