Oops! Reoops!

Ahem. Various cards expire sometimes. Often on your birthday, isn't that funny? Should get that fixed.

Meh, money is tight, and it sucks, but that's not new. I'd like a new lens, to be able to cover stagework more effectively. I'd like a quiet computer that wouldn't put out heat like mad like this one. I'd like a nice little laptop to cuddle up in bed with, to code and chat with people. I'd like spare money to make sure everything is in order and not have to worry.

Oh well.

I think I'll take some vacation and I'll write software. I'm odd that way.

I think I'll take some vacation and I'll write software. I'm odd that way.

Can't see what's so odd about that - I'm tempted to do the same.

Any particular projects you want done or is it just general coding?

In the smaller project category, I'd hack an RSS aggregator that stores its feeds in HTML messages in IMAP folders. This way, I could start using RSS again (a huge timesaver for me!), and the read/unread status of each entry would be synchronized between home and work.

In the bigger projects, I would give a kick to XPLC, and I'd like to start on a high-performance event-driven I/O framework which would use XPLC.

Damn, those are all serious projects that do Something Good for (a subset of) humanity. I never seem to get around to doing more than fiddling with games and robots. Which is fun so it's okay, I guess ;-)

Well, I was doing it for my own selfish needs, which included fun, so don't attribute me too much goodness in doing Something Good for humanity!

Oh, and I forgot setting my own blog thingy on my box to replace my dead account on Advogato.
