## The working day

We're working out of a lab next to the data centre by day, arriving around 9am (having breakfast together at 8:30). We worked through to around 1:30pm breaking for lunch then returned to work until around 7pm.

The days previously had been broken up by visits and short expeditions and I was a little worried we needed full working days. Today we had that - and it was **intense**.

I suspect the rest of the week will be like this, particularly as the end of week deadline looms and my primary aim is to have a _nearly_ working simulation of the WorldWideWeb.

By the end of the working day, my eyes are sore and there's a constant low background headache. My brain on the other hand is raring to keep coding - so I'm a little at odds!

Kimberly Blessing sitting next to me during the day has been working their way through the original source to the WorldWideWeb browser (more of a revisit of the work they did back in 2013's Line Mode Browser source).

You can see the paragraph lines separated, but in the original source there's no such thing (and a modern browser will render it completely differently): [http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Xanadu.html](http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Xanadu.html)

Tomorrow (Thursday) will be wiring up modal boxes, opening URLs, implementing the "navigate" function (which is another geek-cool feature) and then onwards to _edit_. Just two days left 😱
