Last night I went through the Vim built-in tutorial. I wanted to try hacking something together in Clojure, but I needed an editor that worked well for Lisp development and wanted to try something other than Emacs. It's a little weird not being in edit mode by default, but I suspect it's less work than switching between the mouse and keyboard. Anyway, learning the editor's probably a project in itself. I was fairly excited about it when I went to bed.

This morning I woke up from a dream where me and two other people were trapped in code, as functions that could only act when invoked. When I gained full consciousness, I had two ideas in my head for how to tackle a couple issues at work.

It's annoying waking up an hour early. It's not quite enough time to get back to any meaningful sleep, especially when I've got ideas in my head that need to get out. So I went into work early and got to coding. One of the ideas (a moderately clever way of preventing an edge case from wreaking havoc) panned out very well. The other (a theory as to what was making something crash) wasn't very helpful.

I could have used more sleep.
