Going to a football game

Leaving to see a football (American football) game in about an hour.To avoid dealing with parking hassles my wife and I are going to ride the bus to the stadium and back.

The team I am rooting for, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are currently the number one team in the league (although they have been struggling of late). Which means that, knowing my luck, they’ll lose to a rather weak Jacksonville Jaguars team just to spite me. Maybe I shouldn’t be so pessimistic, because the only other football game I’ve been to, the Steelers beat the New England Patriots in a to-the-wire finish.

In possibly related news, today is my one-year anniversary of being married. So I probably won’t be hacking much on KDE or the SPC player today. Although the SPC player is weird, it works more or less perfectly on clee’s system, but sucks CPU like an insane guzzler here, but only as a part of gstreamer, the command line player is fine. It also seems to eat stack frames for lunch, although it doesn’t crash, and it doesn’t leak memory. In fact, the asm code is amazingly valgrind-clean, and compiling the code with -fstack-protector doesn’t turn up anything weird. So now I’m all sorts of confused
