I'll stop short of offering Snapchat of me typing in my cubicle.

Here's a 'blog' entry for you New Year's enjoyment.

I've been working on the build of the math RTL.  It uses lots of C macros to allow the code to be portable (DPML stands for Digital Portable Math Library after all).  On Alpha, the C macros use Alpha instruction builtins.  On Itanium, the macros use standard C code but lots of C routines have been replaced with Itanium assemble.  For x86, I need to pick pieces from both flavors.  I describe it as Mister Potato Head.  Im making header changes as well as build file changes.  The core algorithms are exactly the same ones on Alpha.  Should take just another day or so to get a complete DPML$SHR.EXE
