I missed the daily readof the Advo-diaries, which are always worth the time.
Work is interesting: writing requirements for one contract, and developing serial drivers for the other, taking me from half time to double time. Gotta take the work when it comes.
Non-work stuff is fun too. I've been neglecting the weblog a bit, but have a new layout and backend ready to go. Now I just need the time.
Part of the new site back-end is a set of tools that tie javascript bookmarklets and cgis together. You can really do some neat stuff, and it helps to have survived on half-baked tools for many years. I've been stewing on usability points for a long time, and now am finding really simple ways of making web apps easier to use. I'll post more about how that stuff is working soon.
