Mild colds are their own special annoyance

Yesterday, I officially admitted to myself that I have been fighting a cold, probably for the past week and a half. It's been really slight -- just some sinus crap and a constant, moderate, dry cough -- so I haven't felt "sick" per se. But it does get draining after a while.

At this point, the biggest problem is that I'm just plain *tired*, and have the attention span of a particularly dim hamster. This isn't exactly good for my productivity, either for work (either for Artima or Querki) or fun projects.

But in the meantime, for the programmers in the audience (especially anybody into Scala), have a crazy little brainstorm from this morning...
